5 The hilarious 'relatable' nightclub pic from Milk Tuesdays has sent the internet into a frenzy

The now-internet famous pair, named as Patrick Richie and Lucia Gorman, have finally broken the silence on the conversation that got the nation talking.

The image shows Patrick, in a red checked shirt, leaning in to say something in Lucia’s ear.

However, considering Lucia’s facial expression, you could be mistaken in thinking she was the victim of unwanted attention.

Commenting on the picture, Patrick said: “That doesn't look good for me, does it?”

Speaking to the BBC, the 18-year-olds confirmed that they were old friends from school who hadn’t seen each other in years.

Lucia admitted that she was pretty much ready to go home at the time the picture was taken, which explains a lot about her expression.

She said: “I don't know what he said but I know I definitely wasn't having any of it.

"I feel like it was probably the end of the night and I was definitely ready for my bed.

"I probably just thought, 'I'll nod at anything at this point'."

Patrick's bored mate said she clearly "wasn't into" whatever he was saying, according to the Evening Standard.

She quipped: "I don't remember [what he was saying]. Patrick always talks rubbish so it could have been anything."

Neither student even knew the photo existed until it went viral, and had been turned into a series of memes.

One Facebook user, Alex Hall, called it "the most relatable nightclub photo in the history of the art".

And punters clearly agree with his description, with almost 19,000 people liking his post and more than 11,000 sharing it.
