PIPPA'S POSTS

Pippa

- BY SUE CRAWFORD

White enjoys Taylor Swift concerts, plays rugby at weekends, likes dressing up and loves sharing jokey TikTok videos to her millions of followers.As Valentine's Day approaches, men should be exhaustively swiping right.

But 30-year-old Pippa says there is one major sticking point when it comes to dating... she is a vicar.

She says: "Dating as a vicar is an absolute nightmare, I'm not going to lie to you!

"I'm on dating apps, which in itself is funny, because when I first became a vicar I remember thinking, 'Am I allowed to be on a dating app?'. No one really talks about dating and being single and being a reverend.

"On the dating apps, I just put my work place as the Church of England. It's a clue!

"Once I start chatting to guys and they ask what I do, and I say I'm a vicar, they either have loads of questions or they ghost me. There's never anything in between, sadly."

Previously working as a barmaid, she is a thoroughly modern vicar and launched her TikTok account @not_a_priestess 18 months ago.

Her hilarious posts have made her an internet sensation. In one she gives someone a tattoo while wearing her dog collar.

In another she dances in church in sunglasses. She can also be seen jokingly baptising a cuddly toy and pretending to try to book the Beckhams into a confession.

She says: "The church isn't seen as cool and edgy and for younger people. There's this perception of, 'Oh yeah, my gran goes to that'.
