Susanna Reid was left mortified when she got ditched by her date after confessing she's gone teetotal.
The Good Morning Britain star gave up booze last year as part of a heath kick, but she's now stopped drinking alcohol all together.
Susanna, 48, admits giving up drinking had a mostly positive effect, but it's put a damper on her love life.
She told Weekend magazine: "Someone - he’ll be anonymous - and I were setting up arrangements for a date.
"I thought it might be good manners to mention the fact I don’t drink, because most people do like to drink on a date.
"And, just like that, he stopped making arrangements.
"It just ceased to be. A lot of people just think you’ll be no fun on a night out."
However, Susanna has no regrets about giving up booze, insisting she feels much better now she's sober.
She added: "I don’t care. I’m just grateful I don’t have to worry about waking up with a sore head...
"‘I never drank when I was working, but, on nights off, I’d have a couple of glasses of wine.
"And Piers [Morgan] and I would have these big nights out at the Groucho Club in Soho, which were wonderful.
"But I haven’t done one of those since I stopped drinking. Basically, I’m a lot less fun now - as Piers tells me all the time."
Susanna gave herself a lifestyle makeover without torturing herself with vigorous workouts.
She transformed her figure by giving up alcohol and quitting her habit of snacking between meals.
Speaking about the moment she decided to make some changes, Susanna told Prima magazine: “This time last year, I went to the doctor with a skin problem and he told me I could do with losing some weight.
"It turned out I was at the upper end of my BMI and, I have to admit, I’d been feeling a little heavy for a while.
"I’ve lost a stone and a half since then and I feel fantastic.”
But despite being delighted with her trimmer physique, Susanna revealed there are times when she's not so body confident.
"I often look at pictures of myself and think, ‘Wow I don’t like that.’
"But that’s normal isn’t it? There are more bad pictures of me in existence than there are good….but the fact is I’m a real woman, i just happen to be on TV and I’m quite proud of that.”
