Giles on Sarah
Giles
What were you hoping for?
To acquire minor celebrity status, some DJ gigs and an appearance on Loose Women as a result of doing this.

First impressions?
Colourful, calm and confident. Warm, witty and wonderful.

What did you talk about?
Life, love, laughter. David Hockney. Harry Styles. BBC 6 Music. 90s indie bands. The joy of dancing. Combining peanut butter with celery.

Most awkward moment?
Nearly getting run over by a bus. Well, this was my first date in rather a long time.

Would you introduce Sarah to your friends?
Yes. They would love her.

Good table manners?
Yes, she ate with a knife and fork.

Describe Sarah in three words
Brown eyed girl.

Best thing about Sarah?
She’s good looking, intelligent, cultured, very funny, easygoing and has a joie de vivre.

What do you think Sarah made of you?
That I’m a bit like Phil in The Hangover?

Q&A
Fancy a blind date?
Show
Did you go on somewhere?
Bruno’s next door for (more) cocktails till it closed.

And … did you kiss?
We lingered slightly as we parted in the bowels of Old Street station and kissed goodbye. On the lips!

Marks out of 10?
Sarah can’t be compressed into a number. She’s a librarian. OK, a 9.

If you could change one thing about the evening what would it be?
St John’s ambulance on hand for when I banged my head on the table I was laughing so hard.

Would you meet again?
Yes, we’re off clubbing and to immerse ourselves in David Hockney.
