Looking for unsolicited, irreverent and unrepentant romantic advice? Then look no further than Davina McCall's Dating Game. Davina helps steer both males and females through the dangerous minefield of dating in the 21st-century with her refreshing, lively approach to romance. Considering hitting the party scene in a pair of stone-washed jeans, string vest and white socks? Miss McCall forewarns you of the folly of such a faux pas.

If not equipped with the voice of the all-knowing expert, Davina certainly has the voice of someone who has been there too, in this straightforward, no-nonsense guide to meeting your (if not ideal, will-do-for-a-while) mate.

She reminds the reader that a first date isn't just something to be endured and that, with the right attitude, it can actually be fun. Check out chapters like "Dancing in the Love Desert", "Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world" and "Do it to me one more time".

Everywhere (supermarkets, parks, bars, gyms, public transport, work) and everything (from "How to meet a Mate" to "First Date Protocol" to "Splitting Up") is covered in this forthright guide, advocating the merits and pleasures of dating.

And, if the worse happens and you find yourself single all over again, Davina offers two inspiring solutions:

1. It means that you are free to enter the world of dating again--and whatever your age, dating is possibly the world's greatest source of fun outside Disneyland.

2. You get to start this book again from the very beginning. Wondering how to get a date? Turn to page one..."
