Good pals: Wayne and Chloe formed a close friendship during filming of the latest series of Celebs Go Dating

Wayne and Chloe formed a close friendship during filming of the latest series of Celebs Go Dating. 

Wayne, the younger brother of football Gary Lineker, 60, has caused quite a stir for starring in the show and saying how he wanted to date someone around 28 or 29 years old.

During an appearance on This Morning last month, Holly Willoughby bluntly asked the club owner ‘why can’t he date women his own age?’

Wayne previously refused to consider a future girlfriend close to his age, insisting in his checklist that ‘it would just look weird,’ and he’d prefer someone around 28.  

He told Holly that after listening to advice from the Celebs Go Dating experts, he has broadened his age bracket, slightly.

Unimpressed: During an appearance on This Morning last month, Holly Willoughby bluntly asked the club owner ‘why can’t he date women his own age?’

‘I am opening up,’ he insisted. ‘I’ve come to realise, even though there would still be a large age gap, 30-45 would be ideal.’   

‘What’s wrong with women your own age?’ Holly quizzed, with Wayne replying: ‘I don’t know. I wouldn’t rule it out but everyone has their own attractions don’t they?’

He added though that he had thought carefully about girlfriend checklist, explaining that it’s based on his past romance mistakes: ‘It’s bordering on controversial.

‘I tried to take some things from previous relationships, the comments about you must be able to prepare to give up your job or prepare to work on a beach that’s because my last relationship broke up because she got a new career.’ 

‘My family are very concerned about me, when I’m single I tend to get carried away and go out too much.

‘I am looking for a relationship and I’m ready to settle down, believe it or not, I am ready to be single I don’t need this crazy lifestyle I lead’.
