Celebs Go Dating gets MAJOR shake-up that will spice up show and have celebs ‘fighting to win’

CELEBS Go Dating is set for a MAJOR shake-up that will spice up show and have the celebrities “fighting to win”.

The popular E4 dating show returns tonight with a new set of famous faces all hoping to find love – but this year will be more fierce than ever as the celebs battle it out to be the “star dater”.

Relationship experts Anna Williamson and Paul C Brunson will put the celebs through their paces and have introduced a new “competition” that will pit the contestants against each other.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Anna said: “We are back to the agency we all know and love and we are challenging the celebrities more than ever.

“Paul and I have introduced a competition element, we’re looking for our star dater – amongst our usual dating of learning and growing and journeying, highs, lows, tears, tantrums, we’ve had it all trust me.

“We’re also looking for our star dater and that is the one celebrity that is really applying their own personal progress.

“They are listening and really doing well and they are taking to this competition like a dog with a bone – they are all vying for top spot.

“But I don’t think we’ve ever seen so many highs and lows in their dating skills as we have with this series, my goodness, we need a large gin.”

Although there will be plenty of laughs along the way, Anna has revealed that there will also be bucket loads of tears as the experts dig a little into the celebrities past traumas and relationship history.

“This lot, when I say they bring it, they certainly bring drama – they have been the hardest to please bunch of celebrities,” the E4 love guru continued.

“You have a reason to be excited if you like the show, it’s a corker this one.

“I’m not just saying this, I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited and anticipating waiting for a series of Celebs Go Dating go out on the telly as I am this one.

“This bunch of celebrities, Paul, Tom and I were saying this the other day, I don’t think we’ve had such an eclectic diverse mix of celebrities in all of our time on Celebs Go Dating…there will be lots of tears and heartbreaking moments.”

Married At First Sight star Nikita Jasmine, telly host Ulrika Jonsson, 54, Five pop star Abz Love, 42, Apprentice 2019 star Ryan Mark Parsons, 21, Towie’s Chloe Brockett, 21, Made in Chelsea star Miles Nazaire, 26 and MAFS Australia’s Jessika Power, 29 are all taking part in this year’s series.

Celebs Go Dating hit our screens back in 2016.

Last year they had to change the title to Celebs Go Virtual Dating due to the coronavirus pandemic.

That was followed by another series Celebs Go Dating: The Mansion earlier this year, which saw the likes of Curtis Pritchard, Chloe Ferry and Wayne Lineker live under the same roof.

Celebs Go Dating returns tonight at 9pm on E4.
