Victoria Ireland has launched her dating agency, The One - Shropshire, and will be holding speed dating nights

Victoria Ireland has launched The One - Shropshire, after her and a number of pals became "fed up" of online dating.

She hopes the events will lead to county folk coupling up, with the first event being on Sunday, May 12 at Nerdy in Mardol, Shrewsbury town centre. There will also be a "Love Is Love" LGBTQ speed dating night at the cafe on Tuesday, May 14 from 6pm to 10pm.

"If you're sick of online dating, and I know a lot of my friends are sick of it, its a chance to meet some real people and make real connections," Victoria said.

"I am good at matchmaking. I've match-made for a few friends in the past."
