Woman launches dating app for widows - all you need is your partner's death certificate

A Bury woman who lost her husband to covid has launched her own dating app in an effort to help other widows find love again.

Nicky Wake, 51, lost her husband Andy, 57, in 2020 to the virus after he was placed into a care home in 2017 following a devastating brain injury. The entrepreneur said dating as a widow felt like the "wild west" as it was hard to find someone who understood what she was going through.

Some of her negative experiences include receiving unsolicited sexual pictures off men while also nearly going out with a man who had a criminal record. After being fed up with all the issues she was facing in the dating world, she launched her own app, 'Chapter Two' in November.
