A Nottingham student caused a stir by standing in the city centre with a sign saying he is “desperate for a Valentine”.

Kieran, an accounting and finance student at Nottingham Trent University, said he lost a bet on a cricket social event.

As a result he had to hold the sign outside the university’s Newton building on Goldsmith Street for two hours from 10am on Wednesday.

The 19-year-old also dressed up for the occasion, sporting a tuxedo and holding a red rose.

A few people have said yes

The currently single man said: “I’ve had quite a few people stop and come up and ask me what I’m doing with a few people saying yes.

“My ideal date would be someone quite tall, not really fussed about the hair colour, but if I like them I like them.

“I’d take them out for dinner maybe or drinks; there’s a few nice places in the centre.”
