Put together 100 singletons,  2 TOWIE celebs, an air crew, myself and a reporter and what do you get? It was the Jet2 'Love is in the Air' speed dating trip to Paris and my first foreign assignment since going freelance - so a nice treat!

The Sun called and asked if I could work on Saturday for them, thinking it would be somewhere in the North as usual, but no they wanted me to go to Paris!

We boarded the plane at Leeds Bradford on a wet Saturday morning in the early hours, and the contestants were glammed up and ready for some fun, I was just desperate for a cup of tea! Arriving in Paris - well it was gloomy and rainy just like back in Leeds.

The day consisted of a fantastic meal on a posh river boat on the River Seine with the speed dating afterwards, and of course I had some work to do too as well.

Hundreds of frames shot in the space of an hour or so and we were ready for the trip back home to good old Yorkshire.

Not your average day at work - Leeds to Paris and back in a day!
