Believe it or not, Olly Murs is sort of crap on dates.

presenter might seem suave when he\'s crooning \'You Don\'t Know Love\', but Olly has a tough time with the ladies… when they actually show up.

"I haven\'t tried any apps. I\'ve been tempted to go on Tinder just for the craic and see what happens," he told

"I\'ve been dating, it\'s been interesting… I think if they\'re in it and just going out with me to be famous, I\'m a pretty good judge of character. But I\'ve had a couple of strange dates… It\'s never happened to me before but I was in this bar and restaurant and [me and a girl had] organised to meet up.

"I was at the bar and I ordered us drinks… So it\'s gone 15 minutes and I\'m still there waiting, she said \'I\'ll be there in a minute\'… 15 minutes that\'s fine I can deal with that… Half an hour later I\'m still waiting, texting her to check she\'s okay and she ended up being 45 minutes late and the barman just kept coming up, \'You haven\'t got anyone coming have you?\'

"I was like \'Yes I have!\'... 45 minutes, I was pretty smashed [by the time she arrived]. It did help the date. The date was okay, it was good."

"good" happened long before Olly became a superstar on

"The worst date I ever went on… I think we went to Burger King or something. This was when I was about 18, 19 - we went to the cinema and afterwards I said we should go for a drink," he remembered.

"As we\'re walking to the bar I\'m thinking \'I can\'t quite remember this girl;s name but I\'m going to try and get it out of her\'... This was before mobile phones and stuff like that so I couldn\'t even check her name on my phone.

"I walk into this bar and it\'s quiet, no-one is in there [apart from my friend and his girlfriend] and I think what are the chances… We\'d been out for two hours [and I couldn\'t remember her name], it went down like a lead balloon."

Oh Olly, you\'re going to have to do much better if you really try to tempt the ladies on
