Lily James slams 'rubbish' dating apps after being linked to Dominic West
Newly-single Lily James has blasted the 'rubbish' men you meet on dating apps during a candid conversation about her love life.
The Baby Driver actress, 33, described herself as 'a serial relationshiper' and admitted she doesn't really have any crazy dating stories herself, amid reports she and 37-year-old Queens of the Stone Age musician Michael Shuman have called time on their romance after two years together.
Lily - who previously dated Matt Smith and was once linked to married dad-of-five Dominic West - was speaking on Capital Breakfast with Roman Kemp regarding her latest movie, What's Love Got To Do With It?

The Pam & Tommy actress replied: "I cringe at most things I do. Yeah I’ve been a sort of serial relationshipper, so I’ve not had any crazy dating stories however I did go on my mates’ hinge the other day and I just despaired. I mean come on!"
Pushed by host Roman about what she means, Lily went on to say: "The guys, they were rubbish. I’m sure some of the girls are c*ap too but men are worse.
Lily admitted what gives her the ick to the Capital Breakfast team this morning (Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images)"There’s a line in the film where my character is looking at this guy and he’s got a sentimental quote and she’s like 'He’s fit enough that I’ll overlook the sentimental quote' which is 'every day is a new rainbow' but that would be a bit of a turn off for me.
As Sian quipped "sentimental quotes out", Lily laughed and added: "Not on the first look at someone, a bit of banter, I sound like I’m on Love Island!"
Lily appeared to be in good spirits on the radio show this morning, amid the revelation the actress has parted ways with her musician boyfriend, Michael Shuman.

They sparked romance rumours after being spotted looking loved-up and sharing a kiss during a date on the most romantic day of the year - with Michael reportedly moving in to Lily’s London home just weeks later.
But it seems their love story has come to an end almost two years on from their first Valentine's Day smooth - with a source claiming the pair decided to end their relationship earlier this year after growing apart over recent months.
