IT'S back to reality for Jill Campbell after filming for television's latest fly-on-the-wall show came to an end.
Ms Campbell was back at her desk at the T-mobile call centre, in Doxford Park, Sunderland, yesterday after a week in London.
But the 25-year-old customer services advisor, from Hartlepool, got such a taste for television she can't wait to give it another go.
Ms Campbell was one of four women who shared a £1.5m loft apartment in Central London while four men spent the week in a nearby flat.
They went out with one another throughout the week before a speed-dating session and a final party to discover who they loved and loathed.
Ms Campbell said the results, to be screened as 4 Go Dating on Channel 4 in August, will be interesting and, hopefully, entertaining.
"It was brilliant," she said. "I hope it will make good television because we had a great time filming it.
"I didn't want to come home and I would definitely do it all again."
Ms Campbell's first date was at a sushi restaurant and her final one was at the Alphabet Bar, in Soho.
The two dates in between were slightly less glamorous - firstly joining her partner for the day at football training, and being covered in mud and foil at a health spa the following day.
"It was really tiring," she said. "We did lots of filming during the day and after we came back from the dates we had to stay up late to do more.
"On the Monday I was a little bit nervous of the cameras, but by the Thursday I was really relaxed and loved it.
"I was devastated to be coming home because I had such a good time and we were so well looked-after.
"It's back to reality for me now, but I'd love to try it again."
