After Jodie’s brief conversation with fellow Celebs Go Dating star, Tom Zanetti, Wayne joined her for a seat on a couch.
‘Hello, what’s happening?’ she warmly greeted him as she cut a stylish figure in a white dress and knee-high boots.
Wayne responded: ‘You look beautiful babe, a million dollars,’ as she responded: ‘You alright? You look very handsome. What’s been going on? This is weird isn’t it.’
‘It is weird, it’s the only f*****g chance I’ve got to go on a date with you,’ he cheekily responded.

The silver fox added: ‘You’ll be moving in, you know that?’
Jodie responded: ‘Oh really? Yeah.’
‘You don’t have to go to my bed straight away, it’s fine,’ Wayne flirtatiously remarked as Jodie clutched her champagne flute and laughed once more.
‘Oh stop it,’ she said.

So far on the reality dating show, Wayne has failed to find love after going on a date with 39-year-old Hannah who sat him down on Thursday’s episode to tell him she wasn’t feeling the spark between them.
The previous episode saw him telling Hannah that he doesn’t date women under 30, leading her to exclaim ‘I feel like an OAP now’.
He also showed an interest in model and ring girl, Carla. However, during a chat with Curtis Pritchard, she admitted that Wayne wasn’t what she was after.

Love Island’s Curtis, 24, then took it upon himself to inform Wayne, who did his best to hide his disappointment.
In brutal scenes, Curtis sat Wayne down and told him: ‘Yeah, she’s really not feeling it.’
‘Is she not?’ Wayne asked, clearly disappointed.
Celebs Go Dating continues nightly at 9PM on E4.
