Bikini model who says she's TOO beautiful to find love claims she only attracts men 'who are only after one thing' - but viewers slam her for being 'self-obsessed'
- Jenna Thompson says being good looking hampers her from finding relationship
- Appeared on This Morning to discuss some of her biggest dating disasters
- Many took to Twitter to slam the mother-of-two for being so 'self-obsessed'
A bikini model claimed her good looks are to blame for her single status on This Morning today.
Mother-of-two Jenna Thompson, who has a five and one-year-old, split with ex two years ago and since then has told how dating has been a bit of a disaster.
'I think I intimidate nice guys,' she explained to presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.
'I seem to attract guys who are only after one thing. People who think they’ll have a go and just want hook ups. No one is looking for anyone that serious.'
But viewers at home had rather mixed views on the subject matter. 'Get over yourself love - when did we become so self obsessed?' wrote one. 'You are quite good looking for some but not for others. Beauty in terms of relationships comes from the inside not the outside.'

Despite a triumphant night at the BAFTA's and her previous track record of showing up to work in the same clothes, Holly Willoughby was fresh as a daisy for her stint on This Morning.
But, you can't kid a kidder, and nothing gets past us Hols. Wearing bright colours to detract from tired eyes is the oldest trick in the book.
What's more, she's also worn her top back to front, which we imagine is intentional but we're passing it off as a hangover error.
Holly's latest look is from Sandro; with it's knitted chevron detailing and lightweight knit fabric it's the perfect style to bridge the gap between Spring and Summer whilst the weather is still chilly.

Speaking from the This Morning sofa, she then told of an awkward experience she had with a married man.
'I had this guy who confessed that he was married, relatively late on into us dating,' explained the mother-of-two.
'It was quite cold and wet on the date. He told me face-to-face. He actually slipped and fell over while trying to chase after me after I was walking off and I had to take him to the hospital because he knocked himself out.'
Taking to social media, many people slammed the bikini model for her bold statement and for praising her own looks.
'I'm too good looking to find love' - how sad are you? said one,' while another commented: 'Crikey! Talk about contradicting yourself. Aren't people so full of themselves these days.'
Meanwhile, a third penned: 'We are all attracted to "certain types" she admitted. "She goes for a certain type, dressing like that will also attract a certain type.'
Jenna's appearance on This Morning received mixed reviews. One called her 'sad' and another dubbed the segment 'another waste of airtime space'
Holly then went on to mention how Jenna's friends had suggested she change her image or tone it down a little bit - something the bikini model isn't willing to do.
'Thing is if you change yourself you’re never going to be truly happy are you?' she said. 'How long can you wear a mask for before it starts to slip.'
'You’re not going to be authentic to the person you're dating. Why change the way I look just to fit into a category for the sort of person I'm looking for? Maybe I haven't met that type of person yet.'
She continued: 'Maybe it’s the type of guy I go for. I’ve got a definite type. I have a definite type in looks and that seems to come with a certain territory.'
'I like heavily tattooed guys, good looking, who look after themselves, gym goers. I need someone who is able to connect with me on a deeper level.'
'I like someone who has quite a bit of depth and personality. This is why I quite like people who are heavily tattooed because they’re normally quite deep and artistic.'

When Holly and Phil asked Jenna what her type is, she explained: 'I like someone who has quite a bit of depth and personality. This is why I quite like people who are heavily tattooed because they’re normally quite deep and artistic'
But while many viewers took to Twitter to highlight the contradictory statement Jenna made when discussing her type, others were keen to become her 'type.'
'"I'm too good looking for love..."' she states that she likes heavily tattooed guys, who go to the gym, yet then follows this statement with 'I don't go for surface level stuff, I want to connect on a deeper level,' wrote one, while another added: 'I'm heading out now to get tatted up.'
Meanwhile, a third claimed she could relate to Jenna's issues and said: 'Really can relate to the lady that was on this morning , so happens to me.'
Speaking of what's next when it comes to her love life, Jenna added: 'I’m not going to give up on love, I still need to keep looking.'
'I think I’m looking in the wrong place. I think we need to find a way of having a face to face.'
'I am really choosy but why not? I’m not going to settle. I’ve got two little children so I can’t settle. I have to be picky. I have to find the right person.'
One person took to social media to comment how they could really relate to Jenna. 'Really can relate to the lady that was on this morning , so happens to me,' she penned
Jenna argued that being so good looking is hampering her from finding the perfect relationship. Speaking on the subject matter, she said: 'I think I’m looking in the wrong place. I think we need to find a way of having a face to face'
While some of her friends have told her to tone her image down - Jenna refuses. Speaking to Phil (pictured) and Holly, she explained: 'Thing is if you change yourself you’re never going to be truly happy are you?' she said. 'How long can you wear a mask for before it starts to slip'
