Jessica Ennis Leaves Example Speechless For 'First Time In Five Or Six Years'

Ennis Leaves Example Speechless

Example has revealed how he was left speechless on meeting Olympic gold medallist Jessica Ennis on Monday night.

Talking to Huffington Post UK at an Olympics party thrown by sponsors Adidas, the Kickstarts singer said: "My favourite moment of the Olympics has been meeting Jessica Ennis and wearing her gold medal."

Obviously chuffed with meeting the heptathlete, he took out his phone to show us a picture he'd taken of them together and added: "I didn't know what to say. I'm usually so confident around women and in your face.

"It was the first time in five or six years where I've been really, really shy and didn't know what to do.

"Even when I met her [points at girlfriend] and she's gorgeous, I was like 'yeah how you doing'... I didn't know what to say to Jess, I was like 'so what have you eaten today?'

"I would swap all of my top tens and top 40s for one gold medal - you've got to work towards that for your whole life."

Meeting the pretty athlete even trumped watching the 100-metre final for Example, who boasted: "Up until yesterday, I would have said the 100 metres. I went to the final with Adidas. I was going to sell my tickets. Apparently I could have got four grand for four tickets next to each other because my tickets were in front of the finishing line next to Jamie Oliver."

Unfortunately for Example, his music commitments have stopped him watching any more sport: "They've said to me 'you can come to any event you want' but I've been touring nonstop I've been on a flight, like, every day."
