Leicester City fanatic Natasha Tyers is hoping to find the man of her dreams when she appears on national television this evening.

The 26-year-old will be one of the singletons looking for love on hit ITV dating show Take Me Out, hosted by comedian Paddy McGuinness.

Natasha, from Leicester, is not allowed to reveal what happens to her on the pre-recorded show but she said she and her beloved Leicester City featured "heavily" in the weeks to come.

Natasha, who works for an oil company, in Canary Wharf, London, said: "I have been single for two years so I decided to apply to the show and went to the auditions in London.

"I guess the fact that I'm a girl who also happens to love football appealed to them and that's maybe why they chose me."

She said filming the TV show had been "fantastic".

"It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience and Paddy was fabulous," she said.

"The girls were really nice and I made a lot of friends."

Natasha, a Leicester City season ticket-holder who also manages to get to most away matches, will see the Foxes take on Manchester City in the FA Cup tomorrow.

Mum Pat, 61, formerly of Leicester and now of Stamford, Lincolnshire, shares her passion. She has been a Foxes supporter for about 50 years.
