Sinitta admits she’s back using dating apps to find love after previous ban for ‘catfishing’
SINITTA has admitted she’s back on dating apps and looking to find love, after a previous ban for ‘catfishing.’
The 59-year-old TV personality was kicked off Hinge a couple of years ago, after finding 55 potential suitors on the app, but someone accused her catfishing despite the fact that she was the real deal.
Sinitta, who once dated Hollywood star Brad Pitt, also tried her luck on Celebs Go Dating last year, but dramatically quit before the final show.
Now, she tells The Sun she’s back on her dating game while appearing on the red carpet for new dating app Bonkers.
Sinitta said: “I’ve been on a few dating apps, but I’m usually too nervous to turn up for the actual date.
“This new app is perfect for me because I worry about people not being who they say they are, or doing something horrible to me.”
On looking for love, Simon Cowell’s’ best pal Sinitta added: “I think I’m going to meet my significant other tonight. Celebs Go Dating broke me in and taught me how it all works, and now I’m a pro.”
And Sinitta teased that she’ll be back on screens soon for a show that is “sort of reality” in the dating arena.
Sinitta divorced husband Andy Willner in 2009 after seven years together.
The couple have two adopted children, Magdelena, and Zac, together.
She rose to fame in the 1980s after releasing a number of UK top 10 hits.
Since then she has made her name in the UK TV industry through appearances on shows like Lorraine, Loose Women, The X Factor and This Morning.
She also competed on Dancing on Ice in 2010, I’m A Celebrity in 2011 and The Jump in 2014.
Sinitta and Simon had a relationship in the 80s.
In 2013 Sinitta told The Sun how she “did have an abortion” after getting pregnant with Simon’s baby in the 80s.
But she admitted that Simon “knew all about it” and that the whole ordeal was “devastating” for both of them.
Sinitta and Simon are now just friends and have been described as “the world’s most friendly exes”, and can often be seen holidaying together.
However, Sinitta admits to Lorraine Kelly that there will always be romantic chemistry between the former couple.
