This Morning viewers have criticised a woman who claimed her good looks have stopped her finding love.
On Monday’s show, hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield met bikini model Jenna Thompson as she opened up about the difficulties of dating.
Mum-of-two Jenna said she thinks she “intimidates nice guys” and believes she only attracts men who are “after one thing”.

She told Holly and Phil: “I think I intimidate guys, I intimidate nice guys. I seem to attract guys who are only after one thing or people who think they’ll have a shot and they seem to just want hook-ups.
“No-one is actually looking for something that’s serious.”
Jenna said she once went on a date with a man, who was a parking ticket officer, and he had given her a ticket earlier in the day, and it didn’t work out.
Jenna said she was dating one guy, who later confessed that he was married and he fell over while chasing after her and knocked himself out, resulting in Jenna having to take him to hospital.
Jenna, who will appear on Blind Date next Sunday, was asked about how friends of hers have told her she should consider “toning down” her look but she doesn’t believe she should have to.
She said: “I think if you change yourself, you’re never going to be truly happy are you? Then you aren’t going to be authentic to the person you are dating.”
Phil asked Jenna: “Is it you?” to which Jenna laughed, and replied: “I don’t know. Maybe it is me.”
Phil continued: “There are many very good looking people who have found great love and obviously you won’t be everyone’s type but there will be lots of guys who think, ‘no she’s not for me, I don’t find her attractive.'”
Jenna: “Maybe it is the type of guy I go for. I am quite picky. I like heavily tattooed guys, normally dressed in red flags… no I’m joking. Someone who looks after themselves, gym goers normally.
“Someone who is able to connect with me on a deeper level.”
She added: “I’m not going to give up on love. I still need to keep looking. I think we need a new way of dating.
“I have two little children, so I need to be picky. It’s important that I do find the right person.”
Viewers watching from home were divided over Jenna’s appearance on the show.
One person wrote: “Too good looking to find love?? Oh please!! That is 10 minutes of my time I will never get back!”

Another said: “Imagine a person who thought they were, ‘Too good looking to Find Love’… AND who thought ‘heavily tattooed people were deep thinkers.’ She actually exists & is on #ThisMorning now.”
A third added: “Too good looking to find love more like too god damn picky! Off your high horse and focus on your kids! #thismorning.”

We would like to give a balanced view on Jenna’s interview, however, at the time of writing, only one person has taken to Twitter to defend her.
They said: “Loving this woman on #ThisMorning. Don’t change yourself for anyone. Don’t shrink to fit inside someone else’s box. I’m sure she’ll get a tearing down from other women but this is the attitude we need to encourage.”
