A SINGER in Beckenham's very own boy band found love after appearing on a TV dating show.

Alfredo Carreira, 19, of Southend Road, who is one fifth of R'n'B group VSL, took part in E4 show Five Go Dating, where five men take turns to date five women.

Alfredo's second date was at an Italian restaurant in Soho with 21-year-old Kathy from Warwickshire.

They have been an item ever since they finished recording the programme four months ago.

"I'm a very frisky guy," said Alfredo. "I'm always there ready to please the ladies but I will be loyal to Kathy. I knew she was the right girl for me as soon as I got to the restaurant. She looks fantastic, has a great personality and a lovely smile."

Alfredo's band, VSL, is currently making an album. The name stands for five (V) seasons of love. Each member's name represents a different quality; Passion, Faith, Loyalty, Foundation and Strength.

Alfredo (Loyalty) said: "The secret of love is patience and to get to know the person."

The show is on E4 at 5.30pm, Monday to Fridays, until May 23.
