This Morning relationship expert Michelle Elman is looking for love again on a dating app days after revealing she learned her fiancé cheated on her within hours of him proposing.
Michelle, 30, is seeking out a new partner on Thursday, an app where users can only date potential suitors for 24 hours once a week in the hope of eradicating ‘serial swiping culture.’
Last month, Michelle was left heartbroken after discovering she had been betrayed by her partner of three years, who she also met on a dating app, just hours following their engagement.
She was approached by a woman on Instagram who revealed she had slept with her boyfriend after connecting with him online while he was on a business trip.
But after going public with the gut-wrenching revelation this week, Michelle has returned to dating apps and confirmed the exact qualities she is looking for, including ’emotional intelligence.’

The author expressed her want to be in a ‘committed relationship’ on the profile and stated her green flags are someone with ‘ambition’ and ‘passion in whatever you do.’
Michelle said she and her partner could play board games together, try new restaurants and ‘snuggle in for a binge watch’, Grey’s Anatomy being one of her favourites.
She also explained in the ‘Things I do to keep me going’ section that during the lockdowns she started spending prolonged periods on FaceTime with her friends as they went about their days, so they could keep each other company.
Recording a voice audio on the app, she said: ‘Something I do to keep me going is something I started in the pandemic because I did a lot of the lockdowns alone and I have just never stopped doing it, it’s a really long FaceTime call.
‘I’m talking like four hours where there are huge periods of silence but me and my friends just don’t hang up and we work together, our FaceTime just sat there, and it’s quite nice, it’s like having company but being able to hang up whenever you want.’
The life coach described herself as ‘the kind of person who ruins a joke by laughing too hard before the punchline’ and also admitted to being ‘a little too opinionated for my own good,’ adding she has never been called ‘quiet.’
As the author of several books including How To Say No, Growth Spurts and The Selfish Romantic, Michelle told This Morning hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard she possessed all the ‘tools’ to identify whether her partner, who she lived with for two years, had been lying to her.
She resisted looking at his phone in the belief that once you break that boundary, you have already lost the trust in your partner.

Michelle admitted: ‘Looking back, wholeheartedly there were no red flags. I was in a relationship with the love of my life and the only thing in hindsight I could have done was go on his phone to find out but as a life coach in my mind as soon as you have gone on their phone, that’s the relationship over… you don’t trust them.’
Despite the infidelity, Michelle says her ex wants her back, claiming their time together was the best years of his life and he will do anything to right his wrongs.
But Michelle’s live dating profile on Thursday reaffirms she’s not interested and is ready to meet a new partner who will treat her the way she deserves.
Recalling the moment she learned of the betrayal, Michelle said this week, ‘My first reaction was shock, I was shaking, and I kept saying, please tell me first, I don’t want to find out from her.
‘My reaction was… you have ruined a good thing, this was meant to be the happiest weekend of my life, we were good… I was numb.’
Michelle has respected the privacy of her former partner throughout their relationship, saying it would break her heart for him to be trolled online after she has experienced fat shaming and name calling on her own profile.
She said her reason for publicly sharing her story is to support other women who have gone through the same experience and hopes her honesty will show them they don’t have to be ashamed.
MailOnline has contacted Michelle’s representative for comment.
