After the trip, the pair drifted apart. But in 2017, Mr Griffiths was travelling on the London Underground when Ms Bard approached him and asked if he was the man who had picked her on Blind Date.
He filmed the moment and the clip went viral, telling BBC News at the time, “she hadn’t changed, she looked amazing”.
He added at the time: “Thinking about it now, I don’t know why I didn’t stay on the Tube but it was my stop. It was like a scene from a film. Everyone on the Tube was saying ‘don’t go!'”
The two swapped numbers before he jumped off the train and later caught up properly – a quarter of a century after their TV date.
