Co Founder of Solo Connects, Rachel Allen spoke to Gemma Hill on BBC 3 Counties Radio about the awful reality of swiping for love on Dating Apps.

From loneliness to scammers, Rachel and Gemma discussed A LOT in this recent segment. Gemma had also been helping her mum to figure out the horrors that is the online dating scene of 2026.

We'd love to invite Gemma's mum to a Solo Connects event soon!
