Did you know that Kellie Maloney once filmed an episode of Channel 4's First Dates that got axed before it even made it to our screens?

Was it because the man was a no show? Nope. Maybe it was one of those super awkward encounters where you have more chemistry with your food and need rescuing by a friend? Apparently not.

Instead, after an enjoyable evening together, Kellie's date found out that she was transgender and insisted that Channel 4 did not show the episode.

The former Celebrity Big Brother star spilled the sad gossip during an appearance on ITV's Lorraine (or should that be Christine, given how Christine Lampard is filling in for Lorraine Kelly at the moment?).

Kellie explained: "I was surprised to hear that the gentleman was very upset to find out that I was a celebrity trans and he didn't want the footage shown."

She added: "No-one ever saw me. I'm the perfect date if you're looking for someone."

And we don't doubt it. In fact, we can imagine Kellie has got some pretty good stories to tell, having a previous marriage under her belt, two children, and a controversial stint on Celebrity Big Brother in 2014, where she got involved in spats with everyone from Leslie Jordan to Stephanie Pratt.

So, to the man who was lucky enough to occupy her First Date seat – it's your loss, honey.
