CHESHIRE farmer's girl Jackie Totty and David Beckham's former PA Rebecca Loos have got a lot in common.

Both are single and both came face to face with her new love interest at the weekend, in front of millions of TV viewers on ITV dating show Love on a Saturday Night.

Jackie, 24, of Park Farm, Wimbolds Trafford, Chester, and Miss Loos appeared in the first of a new series at the weekend.

While Rebecca was able to select a man from the audience, Jackie had to choose between two mystery admirers after being set up by her dad Meirion and step-mum Susie. The couple were concerned that Jackie was spending too much time with her sheepdog Bob and wrote to the show, hosted by Davina McCall, in a bid to find her the man of her dreams.

Jackie thought she was appearing on the dating show, which has replaced Cilla Black's Blind Date, because her step-mum was meeting the show's hostess.

But the tables were turned on Jackie as two mystery admirers revealed their feelings.

They were Sam Darlington, who works behind the bar at Jackie's local, The Shrewsbury Arms in Mickle Trafford, and farmer Julian Edge, who met Jackie at a Cheshire Young Farmers ball at Rowton Hall Hotel, Chester, 10 years ago.

Jackie selected Sam, and the pair will enjoy a luxury date at a health farm.

'I was petrified,' said Jackie. 'I had no idea who to pick when Sam and Julian appeared. I was upset I had to choose between them.'

She added: 'Julian is all right about it. I don't know when Sam and I will be going to the health farm and whether we will be back on the show this Saturday.'

Asked if she might find love with Sam, Jackie said: 'We will have to wait and see.'

However, the Chronicle has learnt that Jackie has requested Sam's phone number in the past, asking her step-mum to call at The Shrewsbury Arms to get his number.
