Hannah Waddingham is 'too busy' to date

Hannah Waddingham is "too busy" for dating.

The 50-year-old 'Ted Lasso' star has confessed she can't remember the last time she went out on a date with a man and fears she hasn't found love yet because she's "a bit picky" and won't settle for anyone who isn't "fabulous".

She told The Sun newspaper: "It’s so long since I had a first date, I honestly can’t remember ... I’m so busy and just a bit picky.

"I want a guy that scoops me up and goes, ‘I’ve got you, I don’t care if you’ve got your make-up on or not, I’m happy to lie in bed with you and have Marmite on toast and a glass of milk’.

"And just be a lovely positive, charismatic soul. I’m 50 and I’m like, ‘Dude, if you are not going to step up, step off and be gone. Sod off until someone fabulous comes along’. I’d rather hang with my girlfriends and gay friends and be respected."

Hannah went on to reveal her dating deal-breaker would be a "bad kiss".

She explained: "What’s my deal breaker? I’m going to be very basic - a bad kiss. You know that nothing else works, nothing else is going to work. But also eye contact, eye contact is key."

Hannah was previously in a relationship with Italian businessman Gianluca Cugnetto for more than a decade and they are parents to a daughter, Kitty, who was born in 2015.

The actress previously opened up about her dating "criteria" during an appearance with Michelle Visage on the 'Rule Breakers' podcast, saying: "I'm a pretty picky girl really and have such a very specific kind of criteria of things.

"One of the main things with guys, just come on man, positivity - positivity and charisma and I'm your gal.

"But there's an awful lot of misogs [miserable old gits] out there. I don't need it ... I don't go much on stereotypical cutey pie, whatever, sexy, whatever."
