The votes are in, Jamie Ali is Leeds’ most eligible bachelor

‘I like to hope I can stay grounded’


Thousands of you voted in this major democratic milestone and while it was certainly a close race, the people have spoken with one clear voice. Jamie Ali is Leeds’ most eligible bachelor.

Referred to affectionately as Baemie by his adoring groupies, Jamie Ali is already known to many Leeds students as the Communities Officer at Leeds University Union.

Most adorable Jamie story? Last Christmas, someone asked Jamie to bring crackers to a Christmas meal and he came back with Jacobs cream crackers instead of Christmas crackers. Oh Baemie, stop it! He has apparently redeemed himself this year by buying actual Christmas crackers to for his house’s Christmas tree.

He deserves to be crowned Leeds’ most eligible bachelor because, “he’s a knight in shining armour, keeping the students of Leeds safe from evil letting agents and making sure your bins get emptied. And I know a lot of boys in Leeds agree.

“I’d like to thank the people of Leeds, especially everyone who I work with at LUU, for this fantastic addition to my Tinder bio.

“I’m flattered and slightly baffled and hopefully modest. My crank of a housemate Sarah nominated me on the sly one night when I was distracted, busy swooning over Joel during I’m a Celeb. Next thing I know, everyone’s inboxing me Tab articles.

“I like to hope I can stay grounded, just working away at the LUU Exec with my day job of battling dodgy landlords, fighting for cheaper rents and drinking cheap Terrace wine.”
