Hetti Bywater has joked about her ideal man by sharing a checklist of what she is after.
The former ‘EastEnders’ actress – who played Lucy Beale for two years on the BBC show until the character was killed off, which led to a murder mystery storyline in 2014 – said she was being very "picky" with her tongue-in-cheek list of requirements, which include being over 5′ 10", having blue eyes and working in a "creative" industry.
She posted her "Dating Ad" on social media – later revealed as a joke with a friend – which also includes wanting to travel, intelligence, left-wing political viewers and simply being "kind".
Hetti – who said "race/hair colour are irrelevant", but quipped that the rest "are a must" – is also looking for someone who has "banter" and wants "to conquer the world", and she added that her ideal partner might wear glasses.
She quipped: "Who said I was picky…"
The 25-year-old star – who later urged her followers not to actually send her any DMs – has faced her fair share of trolls on the site in the past, and last year she hit back at critics after some users posted cruel comments when she shared a bikini snap with her followers.
She responded on her Instagram Story: "Does everyone have to be so… negative on Instagram? Let people be. It’s not your life, so calm… down.
"Also, to the people saying my hips are photoshopped, hahaa, I’ve always always had wide hips. It runs in my family.
"I will from now on be deleting any comments that are rude or negative. Purely because, a girl doesn’t have time for that. Thanks, bye. (sic)"
While some people were negative, a lot of followers defended the former soap star, and Hetti was "very grateful" for the support.
She added: "I can’t reply to all of you guys. But I just wanted to say, thanks for being kind people and promoting positivity.
"I’m very grateful, you guys are what makes it worth it."
