The cringe is off the scale at this Real Housewives of Cheshire cast member expecting to be recognised on First Dates
Back in January 2024, Lauren Simon – who appears on ITVBe’s Real Housewives of Cheshire, apparently – went on Channel 4’s hit show First Dates, where she was paired up with a man names Chiles. Not Adrian.
It got off to a slightly bad start when he didn’t recognise her. De-activate your cringe mechanism, then watch how it unfolded.

“I work in television on the Real Housewives of Cheshire which is highly-publicised in Manchester, so I would have assumed you would have known!”
Can you die from secondhand mortification? Asking for a friend.
The clip has resurfaced via the non aesthetic things account, which is apt. There’s absolutely nothing aesthetically pleasing about it.

People could barely cope with the maximum awkwardness of her delusion.

Oh wow. Not only did I not have a clue who this lady was, I have never heard of that show. She has some weird ideas.

Working on The Real Housewives isn't a job. I was with him, didn't have a clue who she was. What a blatant case of "don't you know who I am" …. made herself look really full of herself, RED FLAG ALERT!!!

Nothing like a cold slice of humble pie. She’ll always remember the pie from that restaurant.

This is the First Dates’ equivalent of the Ronnie Pickering moment.

She thinks she’s the main character.

We’d advise just about everyone in the public eye to stick to this rule of thumb.
