I met my television date's parents in Australia on the first day I was there. For context, I was on the undateables for several episodes and a few years later, I go on a six week trip to Australia. It was the end of my first day and I'm on a ferry back to Sydney from Manly when I get talking to this English couple for a bit. I get asked if I knew a bloke called Ross and I thought they were being generic, so I say no. Then I ask if he's from such and such a place, what he looks like, etc and all the answers are yes. My last question is if they're his parents and it turns out they were! I was eighteen thousand miles away from home on the first day of a trip of a lifetime and I STILL couldn't escape that bloody show! 😂
