Bingo portal plays matchmaker for players in south-west.

Two numbers game fans from the south-west have revealed how they fell in love after meeting in an online bingo chat room.

Weston-super-Mare resident Steven Reeves and Rachel Brooks, who lives in Devon, bonded over a shared love of bingo and have now started a relationship, the Weston and Somerset Mercury reports.

Ms Brooks explained that online bingo offers her some respite from her busy life running an Indian restaurant in Holsworthy.

"My restaurant keeps me busy at weekends so I had pretty much given up on having a man in my life.

"That all suddenly changed when I started playing bingo online," she told the newspaper.

Mr Reeves, who has two children from a previous relationship, said that he used to visit land-based bingo halls but switched to the online version of the game after the smoking ban, when many venues put their prices up.

BingoOnTheBox.com, the gaming portal where the couple met, treated them with a trip to a local health spa to celebrate Valentine's Day.
