TV star Graham Norton found his Tinder date totally scuppered – after his sick dog forced him to leave early.
The BBC presenter arranged to meet a man he met through the dating app last week after chatting for three days.
But the 51-year-old was forced to rush off home straight after the meal was over when one of his beloved labradoodles – Bailey and Madge – was sick.
Dating blunder: Graham had to rush off because of his dogs
A source said: “Shortly after the meal finished, the TV star was forced to dash home – to care for his poorly dog. Let’s hope that any future dates go a lot better.”
Recently Graham said he feared dying alone as people find him too famous to date.
He said it is hard to be in a gay relationship when there is one partner who is “much more successful than the other” – as it leads the other to be “emasculated”.
He said: “I meet sweet guys who are drawn to my wealth and lifestyle — the linen napkins, oysters, a celebrity party, first class travel. But slowly their enjoyment starts to sour.

“Every man, no matter how young and fey, has some alpha in them.
“Where the pretty young woman who marries a fat, ugly billionaire can find her role in having babies and playing hostess, my boyfriends find themselves emasculated.”
