Natalie J. Robb
The 'Emmerdale' star - who plays Moira Barton in the long-running soap - would love to find love and settle down in the near future, but she's adamant she'd rather wait for the "right person" to pop up in her life than for her to join apps like Tinder and Bumble.
She's quoted by the Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: "I have no time to date anyway. I would rather wait for the right person to come along, I'm not in a hurry.
"I am definitely not on Tinder or anything like that. Oh my goodness, no. Could you imagine Mucky Moira popping up on someone's phone? Nothing against other people who want to do that, but I'll wait for the right person to come along."
And the 42-year-old actress has a strict criteria when it comes to what type of men will win her heart as she doesn't want someone who will talk back to her.
She said: "I don't know whether it is with social media now, but the dating scene and apps like Tinder have stopped people going out to meet as much as they used to do.
"I would rather meet someone by the way, fate bringing us together. Who would be my dream man? One who doesn't talk back to me, one that can put me in my place. Somebody honest, loyal and who makes me laugh."
And, although she's single at the moment, Natalie hasn't ruled out having a baby in the future but has admitted she's probably a bit "old" now to fall pregnant naturally.
She explained: "I might be getting a wee bit old now. I have my dog, Bronson, but he's not a replacement."
