‘I'm savage when it comes to men!'

Single mum Imogen Thomas is still looking for love after splitting from the father of her daughters, Adam Horsley, in 2018. And it’s fair to say the reality star and model, who found fame on Big Brother in 2006, has searched high and low for her knight in shining armour – turning to online dating and even a holiday romance in her quest to find the perfect man.

The 37-year-old tells new she’s had more interest from men than ever before after joining exclusive dating app Raya during the pandemic, but admits she’s fussy when it comes to finding The One.

“I’m not going to give my all to the next one, because it’s so draining,” she tells us. “This time round is going to be a lot different, because there won’t be any newborns involved!”

Although Imogen coparents with Adam – he looks after Ariana, seven, and Siera, four, every other weekend – being a single mum during lockdown proved difficult for the star, who admitted she “doesn’t have the patience of a teacher” after homeschooling her girls.

“But it’s been lovely having the routine and just enjoying our time together,” she adds.

Here, Imogen opens up about feeling lonely, avoiding players and which one of her kids is her mini-me…

Hi Imogen! How is your dating life at the moment?
