Shaughna's very passionate about the girl code

Seeing as Shaughna has strong views on fidelity, it makes sense that when it comes to the girl code, she sticks to the rules. Her definition is: "Don't go near your friend’s man and don’t go near a man who has got a girlfriend at all." We couldn't agree more Shaughna!

An ex made an appearance at Shaughna's first date with somebody else!

When asked to reveal her most awkward first date moment, Shaughna revealed one that made us sufficiently cringe. She explained: "[My most disastrous date experience was] on a first date with a guy and getting a cab home to mine and my most recent ex-boyfriend was sat outside my house in his car crying. I was furious. The date didn't know how to react and just pretended to be on the phone." Oh dear… Luckily for Shaughna, however, it turned it okay. "I ended up being with him for a year and a half after that." Phew!
