Star can't find love in real
life

HE'S the hot heart-throb in
BBC1's new hit Robin Hood but - gasp - Jonas Armstrong can't find a
real-life Marian.
Now he's hoping that his swashbuckling role in Sherwood Forest will
help him to bag a bird.
It turns out that despite looking like a boyband hunk, Jonas hasn't had
a girlfriend for yonks.
In fact, the most love action he's had of late was when he filmed a
scene with a slave girl last month.
He tells us: "Afterwards I told her
'Yours is the only arse I've felt in the last couple of months'."
Blimey!
And when it came to watching
last weekend's opening episode, he didn't snuggle up on the sofa with a
special lady - he went home to Lancashire to watch it with his parents.
Ahhh.
But
now he's on screen, he's hoping that his luck is going to change.
Jonas
tells us: "If
doing this means more women come up to me to have a chat then hey, who
am I to complain?
"I'm a red-blooded male
and I'm single, so I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts."
However the actor, who starred in Teachers before landing his latest
plum role, draws the line at launching himself into cheesy celebrity
haunts like the Chinawhite nightclub in London.
"I'm not that desperate,"
he sniffs.
And
what about if women decide to start posting him saucy tokens of their
affection?
"If
it's not sent by nutters, then bring it on."
In the show, Robin of Locksley
is consumed with trying to win back Marian's affections.
Jonas
says: "He
pretends that he doesn't love her - but he does. The romance is very
important, that's the reason why he cares so much about what happens"
Now
he just needs to fall in love for real - so let's hope the only arrows
heading for Jonas are fired by Cupid..
