Listen to episode 25 now

Olivia and Rachel (Joanne Banks)

From dating apps to celebrity relationships, ghosting to benching; The Independent digs deep into the murky waters of modern love in our weekly podcast, hosted by Assistant Lifestyle Editor Rachel Hosie and Lifestyle Writer Olivia Petter.

This week on Millennial Love we're joined by Made In Chelsea's newly single Sam Thompson to discuss where - and how - on earth you're supposed to meet a potential romantic partner nowadays when everything seems to happen on apps.

We're also pondering whether, for a relationship to be successful, you need to feel overwhelming lust from the very start. Can you grow to fancy someone? Or should you want to jump their bones at first sight?

Sam, Rachel and Olivia share and compare experiences in an attempt to get to the bottom of the matter.

The podcast is available via iTunes and Acast, and we'd love it if you could download, listen, rate and subscribe.

Do you have a dating dilemma and need some advice? Or have you got a funny disaster date story? We want to hear from you!
