Craig on Callum
What were you hoping for?
Someone I’d want to spend more than five minutes with.
First impressions?
Slightly generic-looking, young, cute(ish).
What did you talk about?
RuPaul’s Drag Race, movies, favourite/least favourite Friends characters. He talked about himself quite a lot, which he seemed to enjoy.
Any awkward moments?
He didn’t know who Angela Lansbury was.
Good table manners?
I was too focused on drinking prosecco to notice.
Best thing about Callum?
I liked his jeans.
Would you introduce him to your friends?
Of course – my friends aren’t too good to meet anyone.
Describe him in three words
Sexual, self-involved, talkative.
What do you think he made of you?
Boring, with not a lot to say (I couldn’t get a word in).
Did you go on somewhere?
To the tube, to go home, alone.
And.… did you kiss?
God, no.
If you could change one thing about the evening what would it be?
The company. And I wish I’d been more interesting for him.
Marks out of 10?
4. Not for me.
Would you meet again?
No, but I’d say hello if I bumped into him.
