Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary were bemused as they discovered that two women from North Carolina had opted to add a third party to their relationship – an invisible male. One member of the “throuple”, featured on This Morning, revealed that the mystery man – Rupert from Wales – was “blonde, blue-eyed and lean-built”.
They insisted that his involvement in their love life was no different from feeling the presence of a deceased loved one. The ITV host described their ghost encounter as “lovely”, while Dermot stated he’d love to have Rupert as a guest in the studio.
However, he was knocked back by the couple – who’d set out a third chair for their invisible partner – as they stated that he’d need to have a psychic connection to Rupert himself to be able to “manifest” him. Alison claimed to be “open-minded” as she asked whether the ghost was at home with them on the other side of the video link.
“He is here in spirit,” one member of the throuple confidently announced, adding that they’d even made an AI visual of what they believe he looks like. It turns out there’s quite a height difference however: one of the women is just 5ft tall, while Rupert is 6ft 6in.
