Cheryl swaps numbers with Radio One listener as Nick Grimshaw sets her up
Nick Grimshaw has set up his friend Cheryl with a potential love interest after inviting his Radio One listeners to submit a ‘romance CV’ for a chance to date the singer.
The 35-year-old singer previously claimed that she would be open to dating “a shelf-stacker from Sainsbury’s” following her split from Liam Payne, prompting a slew of fans to try their luck with the star on social media.
Grimshaw asked listeners to send in a brief profile to be in with a chance to chat to the former Girls Aloud star on his drive time show.
He eventually selected one lucky fan named Chris, who he thought would fulfil Cheryl’s romantic criteria as he had “a full UK driver’s license” and was “trustworthy,” “good at giving compliments” and “physically fit.”
The DJ then phoned up Cheryl so that she could quiz her potential date further, with her first question relating to Chris’ choice of vehicle.
“I was just wondering what model of car it is you would pick us up in?” she asked.
She then asked him for a compliment, prompting Chris to describe her as “the most kind, kind-hearted, kindest soul that is ever out there possible.”
Next on her checklist was a question about his cooking skills, which led the pair to discover a mutual love of roast potatoes.

“I would cook you a three course meal and you could choose anything you want and I would learn how to cook it,” he said, adding: “My speciality is probably a roast dinner.”
Cheryl then joked: “Me too, I love a roast dinner. We could have a roast potato off!”
Grimshaw then suggested that the pair should swap numbers, to which Cheryl laughingly agreed.
The singer, who is currently appearing as a judge on BBC One’s The Greatest Dancer, previously spoke of her desire to date someone “not in the industry” in an interview with The Sun.
“I would 100 percent date a shelf-stacker from Sainsbury’s,” she said. “What you do doesn’t define you as a human being. Some people just don’t get the break they want, while some people are happy working at Sainsbury’s. It doesn’t matter.”
