Modesta said: “We spent about eight hours talking all the way from the start to the finish line. One day I felt chemistry, I felt this man is more than a friend. But the age gap was a big question for myself.”
She explained during the Channel 4 show that she was looking for a man no more than 10 years older than her, no one divorced and no one with children.
She continued: “When I met John, somehow that wasn’t that important.”
