Derbyshire dad and TikTok sensation appears in TV dating show 90 Day: The Single Life
A single dad from Derbyshire – whose TikTok videos attract thousands of views – will appear in a primetime dating show on television.
Wayne Hope who lives in Ambergate, spent six days filming with a camera crew in Derbyshire in January. The outcome will be seen in three episodes of 90 Day: The Single Life, the first of which goes out on the TLC cable network tonight (Monday, April 13) and will be available to view on Discovery Plus subscription channel and YouTube.
Wayne is partnered with Kim Menzies in the series which shows their face to face meeting and subsequent dates in Derbyshire. He said: “Kim was very nice and we got on really, really well.” However, Wayne is staying tight-lipped about whether romance blossomed. He said: “All I can say is that we met and went on some dates. I can’t say what we’ve done until it appears on the show.”
Kim and the American television company found out about Wayne through his high-profile presence on social media. He said: “My TikToks are all about being single and relationships. One of them got 1.4 million views. I’ve been on TikTok for five years, my son got me on it and I have built my following.”
Wayne also has two daughters from his 14-year-marriage which ended 17 years ago.
He said: “I've had relationships but I enjoy the single life. I'm very independent, do all my own cooking, look after myself and am not desperate to be in a relationship. That’s the thing that Kim liked - I'm not a desperate guy.
"I haven't got a particular type, but I do like women who are dark haired and have tattoos."
His last relationship was 18 months ago and ran for 18 months. Wayne said: “I called time on it because it wasn’t working out. When you get to my age, I’m not going to waste time dating someone if I can’t see a future in it.”
He has lived in Ambergate for 16 years and runs his own business called Advance Cleaning.
