Take Me Out couple who’ve been together for 12 years and have two kids reach out to Paddy McGuinness with sweet tribute

A FORMER Take Me Out couple who have been together for over a decade and built a family after appearing on the hit show have reached out to Paddy McGuinness with an adorable tribute. 

The dating show was axed in 2020 after an impressive ten-year run on ITV. 

When the show was aired, and after it was axed, many people believed that it was impossible for the couples to stay together after their TV stint ended.

But one couple, who went on Take Me Out in 2012, are waving the flag for the show’s success as they shared that they have been together for 12 years and have even had two children together.

An X( formerly Twitter) account named @BenjamesLove shared a couple of images showing the transition from when he was on the show with his match to the current day.

The first picture showed a young dark-haired man with a stunning blonde woman on Take Me Out after they shacked up, while the second snap showed the man with Paddy holding his shoulders.

The words “2012 – Did we make it?” were written on the snaps.

While “2023 – Yes we did’ ” was penned across the third image, which showed the former Take Me Out guests with their young children.

The picture caption read: “@PaddyMcGuinness heard you might be looking for ex-Take Me Out contestants that are still together.” with the eye-looking emoji.

The ex-contestant posted the same pictures on TikTok, which gained much attention, with 71.1k people viewing the post and over 226 comments.

One person said: “No cos Take Me Out success rate seems to be so good, I’ve seen quite a few of these videos now!”

Another added: “I’m glad Take Me Out has a couple because I didn’t think it would work.”

A third wrote: “Sorry, but I was always rooting for you guys when I watched this episode, and I am so glad you guys have blossomed into such an adorable family!”

A fourth typed: “Oh my God, I remember seeing you guys on the show years back. So cute, beautiful family.”

While someone else commented: “Noooo wayyy, this is beautiful!!!.”

Unfortunately, not everyone who went on the show found love.

Last year, a contestant who appeared on Take Me Out hit out at the show’s editing as he admitted to making a big mistake with the ladies.

The man named Ben went to TikTok and claimed that producers did him dirty with the editing of his episode.
