Ulrika Jonsson was left flying solo on Celebs Go Dating after her date Jad, 31, decided he wanted to be friends.
The pair had been on a number of dates on the E4 show, but on Monday evening Ulrika, 54, was hit with a bombshell after she prepared to ask him to go on a mini break together.
She had confessed she really “cared” about him and was planning for her best friend Laura to meet him and give her thoughts – but Jad jumped the gun before she could invite him.
He told Ulrika: “I like where we’ve come from, we’ve got to know each other, but… in case you were thinking of inviting me, do you feel like there’s something missing?”

She was clearly happy with how their romance had been going as she immediately asked: “Like what?”, as he said he felt there wasn’t a spark between them.
He added: “We’ve got along great as friends but I feel like we’ve become good friends and I like it where it is.”
Ulrika told Jad that she had been feeling incredibly comfortable around him and said she felt there was an attraction between them.
She added: “I can’t fault it. I’ve had three lovely dates with you and I’ve really enjoyed him. What I value above anything else is honesty… so that’s really nice.”

Although she put on a brave face, once the pair had parted ways, Ulrika’s best friend Laura showed up who asked: “So where is he? Was he not ready for me?”
The starlet promptly responded: “No, he was not ready for you and I don’t think he was ready for me either.”
Laura showered her with support as she said: “You have the biggest heart in the world and you are deserving of the same love that you give out, and until someone is capable of doing that, you shouldn’t ever settle for anything other than that.”

Ulrika began to get teary as she told her pal that she wasn’t expecting it and went in for a hug from her friend, prompting fans of the show to share their devastation on her behalf.
One user wrote: “Feel so sorry for Ulrika #CelebsGoDating,” while another said: “We love you Ulrika.” A third person said: “Ahh poor Ulrika. Her bestie is lovely.”
Celebs Go Dating airs every Monday – Thursday at 9pm on E4.
