We have much to thank Netflix for, even if it’s holding you back from purchasing your dream mansion. Watching The Tinder Swindler and taking the bins out in the rain was the perfect way to mark Valentine’s Day and expose it for the fake, over-commercialised load of toilet that it is ­— although if anyone does wish to send me belated gifts, do not feel cowed.

I felt very torn watching the show in between gasps of horror and a lot of very loud Glaswegian swearing. If you haven’t watched it yet, what’s wrong with you? And warning: spoiler alerts ahead, although the clue really is in the title.
