A mum, fed up with dating apps and determined to meet someone the "old fashioned way", has launched her own business helping people to find love.
After finding herself single on Valentine's Day eight and a half years ago, Vicky Evans, 42, was baffled by the rise in dating apps. The "cynical singleton" took matters into her own hands after a "string of unmitigated disasters" in the dating world.
The mum-of-three, from Chester, went on to found her own business, Secret Singles, which puts on events designed to allow singletons to meet in person. After experiencing phenomenal success in Chester, the brand is coming to Liverpool with a huge launch party kicking things off on August 18 in the city centre.
