Lily James has said she “despaired” when she went on a friend’s dating profile recently due to the calibre of men on the app.

The actress, 33, stars in a new romantic comedy, What’s Love Got To Do With It?, which explores the contrasting cultural approaches of dating app obsession and arranged marriages when trying to find love in the modern world.
