Richard, 40, who lives in Dewsbury, joked he applied after a few friends told him about the show.
He said: “They encouraged me to apply and I thought my personality would be good for the show.
“I am a single guy and just thought why not?”
When Richard got confirmation that he would appear on the show, he travelled to the Take Me Out studio in Kent, where he attempted to charm the single ladies.

“I worked with a film crew filming all around Batley and I just wanted to make the most of the opportunity.”
A Facebook page dedicated to Richard and his colourful wardrobe has received more than 1,400 likes.
The description said: “You know you’re in for a good night when the white suit guy struts into the Frontier like John Travolta. Every weekend, come rain or shine, recession or no recession, the white suit guy has an impressive attendance record.”
