A glamorous mother-of-one is ditching Britain for a new life in Dubai after claiming to have exhausted the UK's dating pool of all eligible singletons.
Jodie Weston, 30, said it was acombination of London's rental market, the state of the UK economy and the lack of desirable men that has prompted the move.
The DJ and model is known for her extreme spending, having previously admitted tosplashing £30,000 on holidays for herself and her son, two-year-old Koa.
But despite what many would consider a lavish lifestyle, Jodie has become fed up with her prospects in 'bleak Britain' and is looking to branch out across the pond.
'I've exhausted all dating options in the UK, because every time I meet someone, I end up finding out we have at least 10 mutual connections,' Jodie said.
'I need a new batch of men. I like a guy who is ambitious and able to accept my free spirit, with good manners and a pretty face.
'And I know Dubai has a lot of men who can tick those boxes.'

Jodie has been to Dubai on holiday in the past but will be visiting the United Arab Emirates next month to scope out some places to live permanently.
The model previously revealed how she went onthree nightmare dates with three different suitors, one of whom fell off his chair because he was leaning so close 'his face was nearly buried in my cleavage'.
A second date took the Instagram star to the cinema to watch the horror flick Purge, only to be later confronted by his furious wife.
And the third, which was easily Jodie's worst experience yet, 'wouldn't take no for an answer'.
He turned upat her flat in Canary Wharf with a Chihuahua as a gift, Jodie said, and when she turned it down'his face totally screwed up and he looked like the devil had taken over his soul'.
'My advice is that if the guy turns up with a Chihuahua, don't stick around to check on the dog - just call the RSPCA instead,' Jodie added.
'And maybe, to also say a prayer before a date, and ask God not to let the next one be as horrendous as the last.'

The model, who appeared on Channel5's Rich Kids Go Skint in 2018, saidLondon's rental market has become 'a running joke', 'much like the UK's economy'.
'I can get an amazing apartment with a pool out there for half of what I'm paying in London,' she told What's The Jam.
'In the UK, the future is looking super bleak. It's become a running joke online to see who can find the most ridiculous rental on offer.
'I've recently seen people advertising rooms with no toilet for £1,200 a month and you have to adhere to a curfew of when you can and can't be in the apartment - it's just ridiculous.
While she admits there are some cultural differences in Dubai, the mother believes that as long as you respect them, it's a no-brainer.
Jodie added: 'At this point, Dubai is a second version of London - but with a better climate and backdrops for influencers.
'And it has better career opportunities for me as a DJ.

'So many people I know have relocated there - from arty and creative people to corporate office workers - and they have never looked back.
'I think a few years ago, things would've been very different, but it's so cosmopolitan there now.
'Obviously you can't go out getting drunk and being rowdy on the streets but I wouldn't do that anyway.'
Although she's switching up her home base, Jodie still intends to keep up her travelling.
The mother plans to 'world school' her son by taking him to a new country every month in 2025.
The term, as it's been coined, aims to focus on using cultural experiences to teach children, rather than a standard curriculum.
Jodie added: 'I like the idea of Koa having a more cultured upbringing. I would certainly know more if I had been world schooled.
'I think it's a nice idea if all kids got a gap year to travel as part of their curriculum.
'Right now, Koa's not in the school system but in a few years, he will be.
'For now, I want him to learn more than what he would do if we stayed in the UK.
'And ultimately, have a better life, too.'
