The Blind Date contestant having a lorra lorra laffs in the centre is
Nicola Kirby (or ‘Kirby’ to her mates), an account executive at
Mercury’s PR agency DPA. Kirby was whisked off to the Spanish theme park
Port Aventura by her Spanish blind date in this episode and romance has
been in the air ever since. ‘It would have been really embarrassing if I
had picked a real dork,’ she sighed lovingly. Despite appearing twice on
the show Kirby has no plans to ditch PR for a television career. ‘TV is
very glitzy and glamorous but its very hard work,’ she said, ‘PR is more
my kind of thing.’
