Chris Stark and Scott Mills wander the rooms and vaults of Scott's mansion "Echo Falls" in the search for some lost tapes. Tapes of Chris's "Autobiography" 24 Years At The Tap End. Every day from Monday 21st May for 12 days, hear tales of strange foreign exchanges, unintended nudity and embarrassing drunken moments in Chris's life.
1Are magic tricks a good way to chat someone up? Kira Kosarin certainly thinks so - she tells us about some of her worst dates, as well as the ways NOT to chat her up if you see her around. Munroe Bergdorf and Josh Pieters are in the studio with Luke Franks and Arielle Free and tell us their stories of being catfished and ghosted, as well as why Munroe has gone off men completely. Not that that stops Josh trying his luck...
A rescue mission in LA involving a taxi driver and a whole band. That’s one of the stories the New Hope Club boys tell Arielle Free and Luke Franks - we also hear why Rhys can never go to the cinema again, why Arielle has lost her voice PLUS a man gets chased around Scarborough by a drag queen. Don’t say we don’t do variety on this podcast.
It’s hard to guess why a dog’s anal glands would be part of a date, but for one of this week’s guests they were. Marnie and Russell also discuss drowning in champagne and dirty knickers with Luke Franks and Arielle Free, and to cap it all off, we have the definitive ‘sliding into the DMs’ story. Plus, Charlotte De Carle’s worst date story, which involves many tears, awkward spooning and a trip to Paris.
Cuban Heels, being called 'daddy', and egg on someone’s face - Luke Franks and Arielle Free hear stories about all these and more as this week’s guests tell us their awful dating experiences, plus Ashley James tells us about the ‘worst day of her life’ (spoiler, it was a very, very bad date).
Have you ever taken an entire Chinese takeaway into the cinema? Sideman has. Problem is, there’s only one thing that TOWIE’s Georgia Kousoulou hates on dates, and that’s people eating. They both reveal tell their worst past dating experiences to Luke Franks and Arielle Free – which gets interesting for Georgia, because her boyfriend Tommy Mallet is also in the studio listening in, and she didn’t tell him what the podcast was about beforehand!
Why did Jamie Laing end up wearing his mum’s clothes on a date? And how did Lewys escape from the most boring date in the world? They spill the beans to Arielle Free and Luke Franks, as well as revealing far too much about their own dating abilities. You’ll find out why Michael McIntyre has featured in Jamie’s sex life in the past.
Picking up dates in a local shop, throwing up over a balcony and some confusion between a tuxedo and a wetsuit - all this is on the menu with Luke and Arielle this week as they go through some of your best stories. We’ll be back in a couple of weeks with a new series with some great guests too!
Chris takes a girl called Maude on a date to a polluted lido with a miniature railway. He starts a business to afford the date and tries ‘stunt swinging’ and a trip on the H13 bus to impress her.
Chris tries fishing for the first time which involves meeting a stranger in a car park near Legoland. Plus Chris visits Winston Churchill's Map Room in London where a German tourist breaks wind.
It’s Freshers’ Week and Chris gets stitched up by his friends at a toga party. Plus he learns to ‘save the queen’ by downing a pint and his roommate is caught in a compromising situation with his sock.

Chris is at uni and goes to a ‘Rubiks night’ which involves clothes swapping and Chris hunting for orange trousers. The night ends with a walk of shame and eating breakfast with Harry Potter and a Smurf.
Chris organises a class assembly in Year 10 about anti-bullying, featuring a Baz Luhrmann song and a Bugsy Malone-style ending.
Chris and his mates head to Prague where they have a steak with a stripper and learn a new pickup technique. Plus we discover how the trip led to Sir Dossa writing the hit, "Bish Bash Bosh", which both Scott and Beccy agree is a hit.
Chris gets philosophical whilst recounting his formative years on the football pitch. He reads an emotional poem he wrote when Argentina knocked England out of the world cup in 1998.
Chris travels to Leeds for Chinese Dave's Birthday to take part in the Otley Run, a legendary pub crawl. The lads don beachwear, meet Lee from Hollyoaks and flip 32 beer mats.

It’s Chris's 19th birthday and he thinks his friends are arranging a surprise party. Plus he introduces the song ‘Bish Bash Bosh (Having a Laugh in Prague)’ to the world, a song by his close friend Sir Dossa.
Is it awkward when twins talk about sex and dating in front of each other? We find out the answer to that on this episode with Luke Franks and Arielle Free. Plus we discuss nudes and chunky thighs (in two different conversations).
Sitting in a pool of vomit while trying to chat up a girl isn’t ideal, but it happened to one of our guests this week. Plus, Ukranian bear trainers and being taken on a date to McDonalds (which we can all agree is not acceptable behaviour).
Broken arms and wee on the carpet. Just two dating disasters this week from Love Island star Olivia Attwood and the winner of The Circle Alex Hobern. Plus, a catfishing story that beggars belief.
Zoos, kidnapping and papparazzi - all feature in this week’s selection of Worst Dates with Luke Franks and Arielle Free. Plus, that feeling when your ex’s parents prefer you to their new partner. Quite awkward.
We have our first couple on Worst Dates and it turns out one of their most memorable bad dates was spent together. Let’s just say, it must be true love after what they went through. Plus, quite a confusing story about a jellyfish.
Why is Sam Thompson so terrible at chatting up girls? Find out some of his not-so-successful flirting techniques, while Grace Victory tells us about a Nando’s disaster. Plus author Gabby Fernie remember her worst ever date - and it was on national television too!
Being shouted at by Brian May isn’t something you get to do every day, but find out why that happened on someone’s date as Dick and Dom give us a rare insight into their personal lives. Plus, a listener story that left us all completely speechless.
Angry saxophonists, theme park nightmares and being kicked in the balls. All that and more on this week’s episode with Luke Franks and Arielle Free. Plus Lauren Mahon brings her absolute a-game with three incredible worst date stories.
Ever panicked and put your head in your bag to avoid someone?

Elsewhere, tables are flipped and dogs are sick - all in a day’s work here on Worst Dates.
Toes and feet, thumbs and bums, and terrible chat up lines are all on the table with Luke Franks and Arielle Free on this episode. Plus, why does James think dating is like being in prison, and why he nearly never saw his fiancé again after their second date.

Genius. I rarely re-listen to podcast, but this is the third time I have listened to this, and it is just about perfect comedy. I have been a fan of Mr. Partridge's 'Beef and Dairy' podcast for some time, but this series is one of the funniest things I've ever heard, - podcast or otherwise. I hope that somehow more of these are made. Absolutely Genius.
Pay Ray Moss what he deserves, you monsters!
YYYAAAASS to return of The Tap End!!
ray Moss should get his own podcast, big fan! so far I am not impressed with birthday girls and Andy field
