The Gossip: Pottery Throw Down winner reveals dating was the secret to his success
Ryan Barrett says his success on The Great Pottery Throw Down "wouldn't have happened without Tinder".
He told the show: "I first touched clay by going on a first date from Tinder just under two years ago.
"I instantly fell in love with it. I went on eBay straight away and brought my first wheel and kiln and moved them into my grandma's shed."
Ryan had to beat 24 other contestants to take the title, under the watchful eye of judges Keith Brymer Jones and Kate Malone.
The model also said he wanted to impress one judge and make the other one cry.
"I really wanted to impress Kate, so I always tried to figure out what she liked and pushed for that as much as possible.
"One of my main goals was to make Keith cry as I feel that's an achievement in itself."
Selena Gomez "quits Instagram once a week"

She may have 114 million followers on Instagram, but it seems for Selena Gomez not all of them are fans.
The 24-year-old has told The New York Times online trolls force her to delete the app "at least once a week".
"You can’t avoid it sometimes," she said.
"You fixate on the [negative] ones. They’re not like, 'You’re ugly'. It’s like they want to cut to your soul.
"Imagine all the insecurities that you already feel about yourself and having someone write a paragraph pointing out every little thing, even if it’s just physical."
It's not the first time the star has talked about Instagram either, she's previously said she was once "addicted to it", which made her grow tired of the platform.
Unsurprisingly then, she's followed many other celebs by admitting to Vogue that she's not actually in control of her account.
