BBC 3CR Supports Stop Swiping Sunday

January 05, 2026•1 min read

We were delighted to be welcomed on the Justin Delaney show on BBC 3 Counties Radio yesterday to mark Stop Swiping Sunday.

Justin's show was hosted by Gary Willmott and we had a great chat with him about the horror show of dating apps and why people are getting sick of the swipe.

Yesterday (Sunday 4th January) was the day that most people download a dating app in a year, so Solo Connects hosted a Stop Swiping Sunday event to help single people get to meet more people in real life.

You can listen to Sam and Rachel feature on BBC 3 Counties Radio here:

Or, if you've got the BBC Sounds App, you can listen here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002p837

Listen from 2:43 minutes.
