Teen Mom UK star Mia Boardman has revealed that she met her boyfriend for the first time at an airport before they flew to Amsterdam together.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Star, Mia admitted that her loved ones were nervous about their unconventional plans.
She said: “I met him for the first time in Amsterdam.

“We both went on a first date to Amsterdam and when I posted on Instagram people asked how we met, my DMs went crazy with people saying: ‘That’s so dangerous!’ At the time it felt right, I just did it, but now I look back and think: ‘Oh my god?!’ But it paid off.”
She continued: “We were speaking and he lives up north, we live about five hours away from each other.
“We were trying to organise a first date and we’d have to travel quite far to see each other.”
Instead of taking the train across the country, Mia and her boyfriend simply decided that they would go on holiday together – a big step that couples usually take further down the line.
Mia explained how the plan came about: “He [suggested] going to Amsterdam and said he would book my flights. I didn’t tell my mum, I told them I was going to meet a friend.”

The young mum confirmed that he wasn’t “a complete random” as she “knew people he knew” so she “knew it would be alright” as they “FaceTimed everyday”.
“We went for three nights. All my friends asked me what if we didn’t like each other, but I thought it would be fine. I’ve been [to Amsterdam] a couple times before, I like being on my own.”
After they got to know each other, the pair decided to set out and explore the city.
Mia then recalled: “We walked down the Red Light District which was an icebreaker, all the things we did on that first date were intense.
“We went to the shows they do in Amsterdam, we went to one of those and when we were there, I was like: ‘This is the maddest first date I’ve ever been on in my life’.”
