Meet the man candy on this year’s UEA Take Me Out

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, UEA’s very own version of Take Me Out is this Thursday in the LCR with all money raised going to Save the Children.

The lead organiser and Norwich’s answer to Paddy McGuinness, second year Pharmacy student Zhyar Said, has high hopes following the memorable events of last year: “One highlight was when a girl was the only one left to keep her balloon intact for a guy. When we asked why, she said she was scared of popping balloons.”

This year promises just as many euphemisms and the same smutty banter as last year, with a couple of little surprises too. With tickets having already sold out, the expectations are high. Zhyar told us: “I’m looking forward to roasting one of my friends on the show, and the after party at Mantra should be epic.

“I’m also keen to see the reaction to Alex Morgan because he seems shy but I really think he’s a bit of an underdog.”

With that in mind, meet the boys…
