In this bonus episode, Jamie and Sophie send Producer Jemima on a Bumble date! 💛
Sophie swears she’s never used a dating app, and now that she’s married, she’s realised that ship has probably sailed. So, she’s living vicariously through Jemima — while Jamie (of course) takes it upon himself to be the resident dating expert.
Jamie and Sophie swap dating stories, compare notes on the perfect date, and listen to some JUICY pre- and post-date voice notes between Jemima and her match, Jack. PLUS, Jemima spills the tea on how the date went… and whether there’ll be a round two 👀

| 0:00.0 | Well, hello everyone. Welcome back to a very special episode of Nearly Parents, sponsored by Bumble. |
| 0:10.1 | Now, if you've been listening closely to us over our episodes, you'll see that we've been doing some fun things with Bumble. |
| 0:16.1 | And we sent the wonderful, amazing producer, Jemima on a date. |
| 0:21.6 | And today's episode is finding out what actually happened on the dates because she is single. |
| 0:28.2 | And we are all confused why. |
| 0:30.7 | We don't know why she's single. |
| 0:32.3 | We're so confused. |
| 0:33.2 | We're totally confused. |
| 0:34.6 | It's confusing to the world, actually. |
| 0:36.9 | Should be worldwide news that she is |
| 0:39.2 | single. And we decided that we would set up a profile for her on Bumble. And then what happened |
| 0:46.8 | was is she found a match and then she went on a date. And we are going to get the update. |
| 0:52.7 | I cannot even begin to explain how excited I am for that. Okay. You're going to be looking at me. What do you think went down on the date just to really guess? Right. Jamima's, she's hard to predict. I think there would have been a kiss, but I don't think she'll like him because she's fussy and she's picky and so she should be because she's |
| 1:10.9 | great. I think what would happen is if they did kiss, the guy would have sort of given that vibe that he was going to kiss and Jemima in her head would go, all right, whatever. No, Jemima's down for, she's openly down for a kiss and I'm with her. Like, why not just kiss and see if there's chemistry on the fast date. Like, get it over and done with. That's what I think. Is that what you did in your |
| 1:29.7 | dating life? I literally haven't dated. It is so sad to me. It's the biggest lie I've heard. And sometimes I sit bolt up right at night and think, that's it. I'm married and I will never be able to date again. Because I've never dated. You have dated. I've had one date in my whole life. No, you have not. |
| 1:44.2 | 30 years old and I've had one day. |
| 1:46.5 | Your old spinster. |
| 1:59.8 | You've had way more than that. I absolutely haven't, only with boyfriends. Did you ever use a dating app? No, I didn't. Bumble was not around when I was at university. Would you have jumped straight on it? I would have 100% gone on it because I was single at uni. |
| 2:01.3 | Again, you weren't single at uni. |
| 2:17.6 | I was single for like a month and then I got a boyfriend again. It's like, are you forget, I know your history better than you. I went to uni with a boyfriend. Broke up with him. Break up with him. Because you realised there were more boys up there. And then a month later got a different boyfriend. Okay, so you were single for a month? You were not single at all throughout uni. I was single for two years at university. Wow. And so you're, so were you dating at uni? Well, I went through about a six month dry spell at university. Yeah, I know. That was a bad time for you, wasn't it? No, you weren't there. So I know exactly what happened. What happened? It was a bad time. you'd love school where you were kind of a bake fish in a small pond. You went off to university and you thought, hang on, I've been dating the coolest girl at school, as you tell me. And then she dumped you. And then no one at uni fancied you. That's not how my... It's not how my story went. It's not how my story went. And so then you joined me in Chelsea because you thought, this is going to get me some girls. And loopholter did. I have a good date story. It's your date story, but I want to tell it because I don't have any. You went on a date with your friend. You're telling my story. You went on a double date with his friend, okay? |
| 3:24.4 | I don't know what this is. Oh, I know what you're saying. And your friend, who I know very well, it just kills me, went to the loo and climbed out the window and left you on the day with the two. He said, he went to the bar and said, guys, who wants some drinks? And we were like, yeah, we had that. he went, okay, I'll be back in a second. |
| 3:25.4 | Never came back. |
