When it comes to her love life, Hannah Waddingham doesn’t hold back.
During a guest judge appearance on “The Voice UK” last week alongside Sir Tom Jones, “ Ted Lasso ” the 50-year-old star spoke candidly about his “dry” love life and revealed a “deal-breaker” when it comes to choosing a partner.
“It’s been so long since I’ve been on a first date, honestly, I can’t remember,” said Waddingham, who was last romantically linked to her boyfriend of 10 years, Italian businessman Gianluca Cugnatto. “I’ve been very busy and a bit picky.”
“I want a guy to pick me up and say, ‘I’ve got you, I don’t care if you’re wearing make-up or not, I’m happy to lie in bed with you and have Marmite on toast and a glass of milk’. And be a positive, attractive soul.”

“I’m 50 years old and I say, ‘Man, if you’re not going to step up, walk away and disappear. Just disappear until someone great comes along.’”
Waddingham, who shares a 10-year-old daughter with Cugnetto, admitted that she does, in fact, have a “deal breaker” when it comes to choosing a suitor.

“What’s my deal breaker? I’ll be very basic – a bad kiss,” she said. “You know nothing else works, nothing else will work.”
“But eye contact is also important,” she added.
Although Waddingham has never married, she says if she had to, she would do it one way.
“If I was going to do it, I would wear a bikini on the beach – a white bikini on the beach.”

Earlier this year, the British actress had a spat with a photographer who she felt made inappropriate comments about her while posing for photos in London.
The incident occurred at the Olivier Awards, where Waddingham was hosting. Video captured by a fan and shared with Fox News Digital shows Waddingham posing for a photo outside before being distracted by something out of frame.
“Oh my God, you would never say that to a man, my friend,” said Waddingham.
“Don’t be a jerk. Otherwise, I’ll change direction. Don’t say, ‘Show me your legs,’” she said.
