First Dates star Lee gets snog after date went completely wrong

WETTING yourself on a first date doesn’t exactly spell romance.

But First Dates star Lee Felton, who became an overnight phenomenon after his toilet mishap, reveals he actually got a snog at the end of his disastrous date with nurse Abigail.

The 33-year-old barber from Leigh, who appeared on Monday night’s episode, told The Sun: “We kissed. It was a good kiss.

“We went out round London after the date and got the same train home.”

The pair didn’t spend the night together.

But he was lucky to even finish the date after the error-filled meal, which – as well as dribbling down his own trousers - included forgetting his date’s name.

Abigail, who hails from Huddersfield, was baffled when he guessed she was called Eastern.

He admitted: “I haven’t got a clue why I said that. I just threw out any old name. I don’t even know anybody called Eastern.

“I think it was just because I was nervous. It was a nightmare. I didn’t realise the waiter had just said her name as well. It was very cringey. I can’t even watch it.
I’ve only watched bits and bats.

He added: “My mates are just taking the p*** saying they can’t believe it, calling me The Famous Lee Felton, stopping by the shop. It’s gone mad – my phone hasn’t stopped going off.”

Despite the late-night smooch, it doesn’t look like there’s going to be a future for this couple, though.

They’ve said they’ll stay friends.

But Abigail has only been in contact since the episode aired to tell him the name Eastern is following her around.

Lee explained: “She messaged me on Facebook s

aying ‘I can’t believe you called me Eastern, that name’s sticking with me with all my friends.’”

However, it’s not all bad news.

Lee is already in talks with Channel 4 show bosses about making a comeback.

He said: “I’ll be going on back next year. Try again! I’m just waiting. They said with it all going viral they can’t see why we can’t have you back. I’m just waiting for a phone call off of them.”

Of what he’ll do to improve things on his next date he joked: “Not piss my pants.”

And the dad-of-one, who has a ten-year-old son Daniel from a previous relationship, says he’s hoping it will lead to more reality TV work.

Lee said: “I’ve applied for Big Brother. Everyone keeps on at me to go on there. They’re looking for pairs, so I’ve singed my uncle up with me.”

He admitted: “That’s why I did this show in the first place – to get on something.”

At least romance is alive and well.
