This woman is advertising for a new best friend after being ditched for a boy

It may be 'hoes before bros' in theory but we all know that it doesn't always work out that way in practice.

Rachael Ryan, an electrician from Ireland, was feeling like a bit of a third wheel after her BFF Katy Philbin decided to go 'Facebook official' with her new bloke.

The 23-year-old told the Irish Mirror that she took to Facebook in jest to look for someone who'd be there "24/7 to listen to me talk sh--e":

I saw their relationship was all over Facebook so I decided to write something for the craic, I never expected this kind of reaction.

In a post that reads like a job ad crossed with a lonely hearts column, Rachel took to Facebook to write:

Since Katy does not have the hours to keep up with me, a 'new best friend' position has opened up. The ideal candidate must be very flexible with their hours, mostly evenings and weekends. They must enjoy eating out, nandos preferably but I am open to new ideas.

Prospective applicants are advised that an interest in "the lols and the bants" and MMA would be an advantage, and a car isn't a necessary requirement for the position.

Rachael said that Katy and her boyfriend Daniel thought the post was hilarious.

"Even though Katy has a boyfriend, she’ll always be my best friend," she said

Both genders are welcome to apply for the role of new BFF - Rachael is still accepting applications.
