At the beginning of 2017 Stefan was named the 'most right-swiped' man on Tinder but went on to delete the app when he met 'the one'

'I believe it's the future. Having everyone in one place makes it so much easier to pick your match,' Stefan said.

The model reckons that the best way to woo 'the one' on an online app is to make sure you have a catchy bio - but 'not an essay'.

'Mine was “No likey, no righty”, show a bit of personality to allow people to find out more,' he said.

When it comes to the awkward task of meeting a match in real life, Stefan said that you should be clear about what you want as soon as possible.

'When you speak with someone that interests you, it’s very important to know what you want from that person so you should be transparent from the beginning.'

He added: 'Once your chat is going strong always leave the sentence open. Almost force the other person to speak more and ask the relevant questions.

'I was a quick mover I would never drag a conversation on for weeks a couple days of chat and then I would want to meet. You should be excited to meet that person so why wait?'

Marriage is on the cards for the couple as Stefan said he felt like Gemma was his 'soul mate'

Stefan and Gemma now live together in London and are planning to jet off to Australia and the Maldives later this year

Stefan said users should also take advantage of features on online dating apps that link your profile to Instagram as an extra layer of security, and so that potential love matches can look into who you are.

Although the presenter is loved-up with Gemma he said that if he were single again he would return to online dating.

'Meeting someone in a club often leads to a one night stand no chemistry and most importantly nothing in common.

'Where as, meeting someone with the same interests increases the chance of having chemistry and staying long term with that person.'

The couple kept their anniversary celebrations low-key this year with a home-cooked meal and wine, but Stefan said he's got a surprise in store for his girlfriend.
