Hidden past of date show star

TELEVISION bosses have demanded a “review” of how contestants are chosen for ITV1 dating show Take Me Out after it emerged its latest star had worked as a £50-an-hour male escort.

Aaron Withers, 32, did not mention his past as he tried to win a date with one of 30 women on the show, hosted by Paddy McGuinness.

His description on the online escort site, which is four years old, claims he works as a model, lifeguard and “semi-pro surfer”.

It was also reported yesterday that Mr Withers pleaded guilty to an assault charge last year.
