"Girl on the platform smile...."
No don't worry, we're not going to start serenading you. After all, for some of us, today is just another Tuesday.
The Only Way Is Essex star Lauren Pope recently launched her own online dating agency Hope With Pope. The DJ, who has remained single since her split from Kirk Norcross, tells Digital Spy why she is enjoying being on her own and wants to help others meet that special someone.

I think Valentine's Day is a bit overhyped, to be honest. If you are in a relationship then it's just an excuse to be slushy and a great reminder to the blokes out there to do something special - but it shouldn't take a day in a diary to remind them to treat you amazingly; it should be like this all year round.
If you're single, then it's just a reminder that you're a singleton!
Recently, somebody said to me, 'You're nearly 30 and still single, how sad!'. I've been single for a number of months now and I know how difficult it can be for girls and boys out there to meet someone special.
As much as I would love to be in a relationship, I'm really enjoying being single at the moment as I am so busy with work and all my different projects seem to be going amazingly well, so I can't complain!
When the right man comes along I'll happily make time for him (where are you??), but for now I'm just happy being with my friends and dating.
It takes a lot for me to fall in love and I have only ever really felt like that once. I had my heart broken, but it's fully healed again now and I'm ready to fall all over again!
With my new dating website 'Hope With Pope', I aim to bring some happiness and introduce similar people in my position together.
My Valentine's gift to you all is 50% off the first month's membership when you enter POPE50 at the checkout! Hurry, this offer ends at midnight tomorrow (February 15). Good luck, singletons!
The Only Way Is Essex continues Wednesdays and Sundays on ITV2.
