Busy: Stu couldn’t tear his eyes away from the smartphone screen 

 ‘I really felt like Sophie and I clicked, all be it for ten minutes, but more so than I’ve clicked with anyone since my ex-wife,’ the father-of-four told the Financial Review.

‘I ummed and ahhed a lot … and it was because of my kids [I joined the show]. My two little ones are big fans.’ 

Stu decided it was worth a shot, because he was yet to find love after being left heartbroken by his marriage breakdown five years ago. 

‘I weighed up all the pros and cons and through several years of unhappiness, I just thought, this might be a path to happiness,’ he said.
