E4 The Honesty Box star carried through streets after medical emergency on holiday
The Honesty Box runners-up, Rose Skehan and Tommy Biswell, embarked on a journey to Thailand after their stint on the E4 series, where they encountered a harrowing experience.
What was meant to be an adventurous getaway soon turned into a thing of nightmates, that led to Tommy rushing Rose to a clinic. The duo, who sparked a romance on the dating programme presented by Vicky Pattison, have remained a couple since the show concluded.
Rose recounted a frightening incident from their Thai adventure. "There was one time where I got really sick when we went to Thailand and I fainted at dinner," she disclosed during an interview with the Mirror.
"Tommy was carrying me like a baby through the streets of Thailand to this clinic and I was on an IV drip. We had the most random time ever."
Tommy chimed in, "One minute she was singing having a fab time, next she was in a clinic on a drip. It was really quite mad that but Thailand was amazing time. We saw elephants, we rode horses, we saw monks."
Rose elaborated, "We were walking up waterfalls, we really like broaden our horizons as well." Their travels also strengthened their bond, especially after Rose endured a personal tragedy back home.
"It brought us so much closer together because while were out there as well, my horse of 11 years, he passed away and Tommy really stepped up in caring for me and supporting me so we've got such a strong base coming back to England," Rose explained.
Since departing the show, Rose and Tommy have set up home together, embarking on a journey across the UK as an adventurous duo. "We're actually all over, so we jump round from cabin to cabin," Tommy explains.
"We're exploring the whole country. We're finding nice little places that we've not been to in the UK," he added.
Rose chimes in with her take on their travels: "It's great because we both love historic houses and animals - we're in our element going all over the countryside."
The dynamic pair just missed out on clinching the top prize on The Honesty Box show, with Chantelle and Jovan ultimately taking the crown. Recently chatting with the Mirror, the victorious couple expressed their readiness to tie the knot.
The "Honesty Box" is a lie detection system used in the Channel 4 dating series to test the participants' honesty. The show, hosted by Vicky Pattison and Lucinda Light, presents a £100,000 prize fund if the daters remain truthful in their relationships.
The Honesty Box asks probing questions about the daters' past and present relationships, and lying leads to a reduction of the prize fund.

Kerry Katona says she's 'just desperate to be loved' as Celebs Go Dating returns
As Celebs Go Dating returns for a new series, Kerry Katona is desperate for love, while Christine McGuinness is looking to date a woman and S Club pop star Jon Lee tackles his 'car crash' love life... With plenty of cheek, Celebs Go Dating is back tonight on E4 at 9pm, as more famous people volunteer to be filmed as they look for love. Guided by expert agents Paul C Brunson, Anna Williamson and Dr Tara Suwinyattichaiporn, there is plenty of drama and lust as the celebs go dating. This season kicks off with a mixer in London, hosted by Tom Read Wilson. On the hunt for love in this latest series are Atomic Kitten blonde bombshell Kerry Katona (not her first time on the show), S Club pop star Jon Lee, Too Hot to Handle lothario Louis Russell, TV personality Christine McGuinness and Love Island sensation Olivia Hawkins. Kerry says: 'I'm best known for being a singer, a mother, a reality star and a car crash. People think I'm this crazy, partying wild person, when in fact I'm a bit of a loner. In fact, I'm just really boring." She adds: "The whole dating thing is just not something I do." Kerry explains: "I just meet somebody and get married. I was very young when I met my first husband, I was 18. We got divorced when I was 25. I got married straight away after that, got divorced, then got married again. "Then I met my last fiance, but I never actually got up the aisle that time." Kerry sighs: "I keep getting rejected, that's what it is, I'm never good enough. They always want something else. I just want to be loved. I'm so desperate to be loved.' She doesn't fare too well though, with Anna Williamson noting that Kerry comes across as 'insincere' when she's talking to potential dates. Meanwhile model, author and mum-of-three Christine says: "I've been separated from my ex husband for around three years. I met Paddy McGuinness when I was 19. "I describe my sexuality as being a free spirit. When I was a teenager I dated men and women before I was married and now I'm really, really just enjoying spending time with women.' While Jon reveals: 'My dating has been a complete car crash, I've been single and celibate for six years. I want a man who's rough around the edges.' Getting their flirt on and testing their dating skills, the celebs work the room and try to look for instant chemistry and sparks. As the agents watch on, they find out just how hard they're going to have to work to get their famous clients on the path to romance. Paul Brunson says: 'We can see how they operate and gather information.' Then a secret is revealed - the celebs must choose someone for a first date and it will be in Ibiza. 'How can I go abroad with someone I don't know? This is not normal,' says Christine, finally realising that she is on a reality show. A flash forward shows people swinging their tops around their heads, jumping on lilos, clinking glasses… It's going to be messy.

RAF veteran to become oldest Countdown contestant at 96
A 96-year-old RAF veteran recognised by the King for his charitable work will become the oldest contestant in Countdown history. Donald Elsom, who left school at 14, has been a dedicated viewer of the Channel 4 show for decades. An episode featuring the nonagenarian will air on Aug 11 at 2.10pm. Mr Elsom, a former RAF corporal from Stanley, County Durham, said: 'I enjoyed everything about the day – the photo will be framed and have a place next to the photo of me with King Charles. 'It was a lovely experience I will remember for the rest of my life.' Channel 4 said Mr Elsom had brought warmth, wit and wisdom to the long-running show, along with a sharp mind and love of numbers. Originally from Willingham, Cambridgeshire, Mr Elsom served in Singapore and what was then Malaya between 1950 and 1955. During a varied career after leaving the Royal Air Force, he worked as a police dog handler, a butcher, and a school site agent. Last year, he marked his 95th birthday by walking 95 laps around his local primary school over several months. Mr Elsom said he had taken inspiration from Cpt Sir Thomas Moore, who raised tens of millions of pounds for charity by walking 100 laps of his garden during the Covid-19 pandemic in the run-up to his 100th birthday. Mr Elsom raised over £4,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support, which had aided him after he was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2012. When he completed the challenge, he was cheered by children who then sang Happy Birthday to him. 'Very determined man' Jade Sorroll, Mr Elsom's 35-year-old granddaughter, told the BBC he was 'a very determined man'. Earlier this year, King Charles awarded him Maundy money to express gratitude for his charitable work. Countdown, which began on Channel 4 in 1982 and is currently hosted by Colin Murray, involves two contestants competing over 15 rounds to become the daily champion. Produced by Lifted Entertainment, part of ITV Studios, it is one of the longest-running game shows in the world. Previous elderly contestants have included Bertha Bourne, 87, who was a champion in 1994, and 89-year-old Geoffrey Green, who appeared in 2007.

Russell T Davies warns ‘fight is coming' with gay rights ‘rapidly getting worse'
The award-winning screenwriter, 62, best known for reviving BBC sci-fi series Doctor Who in 2005, gained prominence in 1999 for writing Queer As Folk, a programme about the lives of three men living in Manchester's gay village. Davies is urging young people to use the 'anger of the past' to protect gay rights amid growing support for Reform UK which has pledged to 'ban transgender ideology' in schools. Speaking to the Big Issue, Davies said: 'When Queer As Folk came out in 1999, if you'd said: 'What will gay rights be like in 2025?', we'd have said, 'oh, it will all be marvellous – it'll be sunshine and skipping down the street, hand in hand – gays, queers, lesbians, everyone'. 'And look at where we are. Things got better but now things are rapidly and urgently getting worse. 'What happens in America always happens here (the UK) – and as we look down the barrel of a Reform government, we, the gay community, queer community, should be revolting in terror and anger and action. 'They're out to get us. The President of America is literally out to get us, is discounting us. 'He would be happier with us invisible and gone, defunded, completely invisible if not biologically altered to become as straight as him. 'I hope they're prepared to fight, that younger generation that has no idea how they got there. And neither should they – they're busy living their lives. 'I didn't spend my youth looking back at World War Two, but I do think: 'are you prepared to fight, because a fight is coming?'' Davies' next Channel 4 series, Tip Toe, deals with the culture war that has radicalised some people into homophobia, transphobia and prejudice. Davies said: 'I'm very proud of it. 'It's radical, it's savage, and it's hilarious. 'It is the strongest thing I've written – I do believe Queer As Folk, Cucumber, It's A Sin and Tip Toe are the ones that will be on my gravestone.' Reform UK has been contacted for comment. The full interview with Davies can be read in this week's Big Issue.
