The radio star was about to give up on finding a soulmate – then along came Mike. When the Weekly caught up with Lorna Riley in March, the Coast FM daytime presenter revealed that despite two breast cancer diagnoses and a marriage break-up, she was determined to continue taking big bites out of life. But not even eternal optimist Lorna could have predicted that just a week after that story was published, she’d meet the man she’s planning to spend the rest of her life with in a whirlwind romance that’s worthy of a novel.
“I’d tried online dating earlier this year, but that relationship didn’t work out, then my daughter made me go back on to the dating app Hinge ,” says Lorna, 56. “The next day, I saw Mike’s profile and thought he looked lovely, so I pressed the ‘Match’ button.”.
