“I met him at a friend’s birthday and we chatted away for the night.
“He was really cool and interesting and smart, but we never did end up on our date! My friends got a laugh out of that one,” she revealed.
Although enjoying the American dating scene, the 27-year-old admitted she prefers Irish guys.

“There’s a lot to be said for having the same references from your childhood as someone,” she told VIP Magazine.
“You can’t fault an American man on his enthusiasm though, they’re a lot more into impressing you.”
