Viewers thought love could be in the air again for reunited exes Looci Sohma and Nick Knight on ITV’s Take Me Out.
Teesside circus performer Looci got the surprise of her life when her ex-boyfriend came down in the “lift of love” on the dating show two weeks ago.
In the main show on ITV1 on Saturday, it looked as if both Teesside girls Looci, from Hartburn in Stockton, and Guisborough’s Emily Symington may have found love with their respective dates in the Isle of Fernando’s.
But in follow-up show Take Me Out: The Gossip on ITV2, it was revealed that cupid’s arrow failed to strike after all.
During her date with former boyfriend Nick, Looci, 26, said: “It could have been really fun or really awkward but luckily it’s been fun.
“Ever since we broke up I’ve always wanted to remain friends - surely this experience shows we could.
“I’ve never found anyone I’ve got that close to - ever.”
But in a studio interview seven weeks later, Looci revealed things had cooled considerably.
She said: “The reasons we broke up in the first place are still a problem.
“He likes living in Pontefract, I want to live all over the world; he wants to get married and that’s nothing I want to do; and most importantly, he wants a kid and I don’t.”
It was also revealed on the show that Nick’s Love at First Light was Alicia, and that Nick tried it on with her after the show.
Alicia said: “He did get in touch and ask if I wanted to go out and I said ‘no’.”
To have his say, the ITV2 show presenter Mark Wright read a statement from Looci’s ex.
Nick’s comments read: “I’m really sorry I can’t go on there tonight, it was good to go away with Looci.
“I chose her because we needed to know if there was anything else still there. I think we’re best as friends.
“I’m currently meeting up with somebody special and I hope that Lucy is really happy and finds someone too.”
Looci said: “I want nothing more than for him to be happy.”
And after a promising date, romance also fizzled out between Emily Symington, 23, a former Laurence Jackson School and Prior Pursglove College student, and Geordie lifeguard Liam.
Emily said: “We did meet up when we got back so I could get my shoes back because they were in his case!
“I had to ask him what was going on because we weren’t talking that much and obviously silence is a big message.
“We got carried away in the Fernando’s bubble.”
Liam agreed, saying: “There was a spark but it failed to ignite.”
