British songstress Paloma Faith thinks "no one fancies [her]" as she never gets "chatted up".

In an interview with the Daily Mirror, the quirky star revealed she is on the hunt for a boyfriend.

Faith admitted that she's finding her quest for romance difficult though, as she never gets much attention from the opposite sex.

"I'm single for the first time since the age of about 14. No one ever chats me up; I think they all think I'm taken. Either that or no one fancies me. I don't get hit on by anyone, ever. That's the truth. No one ever approaches me, famous or otherwise.

She added: "I'm not seeing anyone but am open to offers... I'm on the lookout. I like someone with a really good and dark sense of humour, who doesn't take themselves too seriously and preferably non-European."

27-year-old Faith is famed for her eclectic fashion sense and flamboyant stage shows, and has revealed her mother disapproves of her showy persona as she thinks its hindered her love life.

She continued: "My mum's always on at me to have children and blames 'that stupid stage thing you do' for me not already having a family. In five years' time, I'd like to have a small brood of babies."
