Britain’s most sought after bachelor revealed his biggest deal-breaker when it comes to online dating - and the reason it’s made him wary of meeting people in person.

According to Brian Hallworth, 46, who works as a part-time Colin Farrell impersonator, and who was recently announced to be the most-messaged man on dating app Plenty of Fish, single women need to stop using filters on their selfies.

After downloading the app in January in the hopes of finding a woman he could spend the rest of his life with, Hallworth, who is actually three years older than Farrell, received hundreds of messages from potential suitors.

However, the issue arose when he met the dates in person - and realised they looked nothing like their pictures.

“I try and stick local and have been on about 10 dates so far,” Hallworth said. “None have been bad - I’ve not had any bad experiences really going out on dates, but a few of the girls I’ve met in real life have had these filters on their pictures.

“And then when I’ve been to meet them they don’t look exactly like they do in pictures.

“I’m like ‘Jesus Christ you look different.’”

As for what qualities he hopes for on a first date, Hallworth, who’s from Warrington, Merseyside, said he wants someone who is attractive and a good kisser - and chemistry is necessary.

He said: “Obviously, the woman has to be attractive and if there is chemistry and a good kiss - then there will be a second date.”

If he does end up finding someone on the app, it won’t be the first time the Irish-actor look-alike settles down.

Hallworth, who is also a house renovator, married his fiancée of two years while abroad last year - but the relationship didn't last.

“I got ‘married’ last year, but it didn’t work out and I’m still trying to find out if I need an annulment or what because I don’t know if the ceremony was genuine,” he said.

In the meantime, he is enjoying being single and one of the most sought after men in Britain - a title he was “shocked” and “flattered” to receive.

“I’m very much enjoying being single - and loving all the attention, you can’t knock it,” he said, before adding: “But, of course, you can’t let it go to your head.”
