Leading lady looks to light up her love life

TAKEN OUT: Claire Cummins

AN aspiring actress is hoping her appearance on hit Saturday night ITV dating show “Take Me Out” can provide a springboard for her career - as well as helping her to find love.

Claire Cummins (23), of Hollinwood has been shocked with the response to her appearance on the show.

“It’s been crazy! I got stopped in the street the other day. I didn’t realise how big it was. I was on the follow-up ‘Take Me Out: The Gossip’ programme the other week and they focused on me — but it makes me cringe seeing myself on TV.”

The popular dating show, hosted by Paddy McGuinness sees 30 women compete for the chance of going on a date with a single man.

Claire is yet to find a date but has another chance when she appears on the show again on Saturday (8.05pm).
