Referring to his other job, tarmac worker Withers told the Daily Mirror: ‘It seemed like easy money to fund surf trips when I first came to London, just a bit of fun.

‘I was really skint and needed to earn cash.’

However, Withers insisted that he never offered any more than an escort service, unlike many of his competitors who provide ‘X-rated extras’.

He added to the paper: ‘I certainly didn’t offer any more than that.’

Meanwhile, it has also been revealed that Withers has a conviction for assaulting a woman in a pub last year.

Withers was convicted of hitting Amy Kerr and her boyfriend Simon Edwards with a pool cue during a brawl in a pub in Somerset last summer.

He was fined £200 and told to pay both victims £50 compensation each after pleading guilty to the attack.

An ITV spokesperson said Withers’ background should have been checked more thoroughly by the Take Me Out production company TalkbackThames.

They said: ‘We are disappointed his record was not picked up in background checks carried out by talkbackThames, the producers or Take Me Out.’

TalkbackThames said they are now ‘reviewing procedures’, adding: ‘Aaron’s criminal record did not come to light.’

Look at him trying blue steel in his profile picture haha

Don’t care .. ….tell us more about Wen. She’s far more interesting.

If he only provides escort services and doesn’t do “extras”, what would he and the client do all night or the whole weekend, play Monopoly?????!!!!!! That’s a very expensive way to get someone to play board games! I think I smell a rat………..

Glad my contestant daughter, Grace, put her light out on this guy! ITV need to up their background checks!

So what if he is an escort?

Well he’d be perfect for me

Maureen, London, 10/1/2012 9:38 People who like to stick their oar into other peoples lives that’s who. I agree the way he lives his life has nothing to do with anybody else aside from his current/future partners. Anyone else should pay more attention to their lives instead of judging the way others live theirs.

Who cares im only 5ft 2 and i would, just my height and type!! Send him my way please!!

I don’t get why a woman should have to pay for sex. All she would have to do is go to a club/ pub or a free dating site.

Honestly I don’t know how they can be single in the first place. Beautiful and slim, that woman has it all… So personality must be missing there.
