THE Chase star Jenny ‘The Vixen’ Ryan has revealed how she saved a stranger’s first date.
The telly favourite, 37, branded herself an “unwinged cupid” after coming to a primary school teacher’s rescue when she found out the woman wouldn’t be able to meet her suitor.
She wrote on Twitter: “A short story about woeful public transport, romance and playing the fairy godmother. WARNING: contains Northern Rail,” she started.
“Of course, my train has been cancelled. Next direct train to Piccadilly in an hour, or go via Victoria and hoof across the city. Either way, I’ll miss my connection.
“On a whim I go to the counter to grab a complaint form, then step off to the side to order a taxi so I make my connection. Then a young woman walks up to buy a ticket. She’s gonna be disappointed.
“I read her vibe, because I’ve been there – thwarted by Northern Rail. She was already in a hurry, and quite stressed. Time for me to wave my magic wand.
“She’s going on a first date.
“She’s been waiting for a while to go out with this young man, and finally they had time to see each other today.
“She tells me she’s not used to dating, she’s been focused on her studies and becoming a teacher.
“But ‘when an opportunity like this comes up, you’ve got to grab it’.
“She’s really nervous and keeps checking her make-up (she looks flawless, btw)
“Instead he does EXACTLY the right thing and tells her he’ll come and meet her at Piccadilly.
“I tell her that I now approve of this guy. I leave her at Piccadilly, about to meet her beau.”
“I asked to be mentioned in the speeches at the wedding. NB She had no idea who I was, she just knows my first name.
“So, if in the next couple of years you attend the wedding of a primary school teacher from Bolton named Saira to a young man of Italian extraction, and there’s a Jenny reference in the speeches… THAT WAS ME! I WAS THAT UNWINGED CUPID!”
