Celebs Go Dating is officially back, and the full line-up for the upcoming series has been revealed, featuring a diverse mix of reality TV favourites, music stars, and well-known TV personalities.
The new season of the popular E4 dating show will follow six famous singletons as they put their love lives in the hands of professional dating experts in the hope of finding a meaningful connection.
Filming is set to begin this week, with the celebrity participants preparing to step back into the dating world after highly publicised breakups, personal challenges, and years in the public eye. The latest cast promises a compelling blend of humour, vulnerability, and star power.
David Potts Returns to the Agency
Celebrity Big Brother winner David Potts is making a return to the Celebs Go Dating agency eight years after his first appearance.
Known for his confident personality and memorable reality TV moments, David has remained a fan favourite across multiple shows. Despite his success on screen, he admits his romantic life has not followed the same path.
David has previously described himself as “very picky” and has openly named Hollywood stars Zac Efron and Channing Tatum as his celebrity crushes.
Now older and more self-aware, he says he is ready to take the process seriously.
“I feel like I’ve grown so much as a person,” David said. “I’m excited to go into this experience with confidence and an open heart. Agents, it’s time to find me a husband.”
Professor Green Joins After High-Profile Split
Rapper Professor Green, real name Stephen Manderson, is another major name joining the line-up.
The 42-year-old musician and father-of-one has spent more than two decades in the spotlight, with both his career and personal life often making headlines.
After a very public marriage to Made in Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh and a later relationship with actress Karima McAdams, Professor Green became single again in early 2024.
Now, he says he is ready to explore dating in a new way.
“I’m 42 and single — not something I ever thought I’d be,” he admitted. “But life takes unexpected turns, and I’m open to what comes next.”
Coleen Nolan Ready to Date Again
Loose Women panellist and singer Coleen Nolan is also joining the agency, bringing honesty and life experience to the show.
The 60-year-old TV star split from her last boyfriend around nine months ago after meeting him via Tinder and has since spoken openly about her desire to find love again.
Coleen, who has three grown-up children, says she is hopeful the dating experts can succeed where she feels she hasn’t.
“I really would love to meet someone,” she said. “I’m hoping the agents can help me because so far, I haven’t been very good at it myself.”
Love Island’s Gabby Allen Looks for Love Outside the Villa
Love Island star Gabby Allen continues her reality TV journey after winning Love Island: All Stars and appearing on Celebrity SAS.
Now, nearly a year after splitting from Casey O’Gorman, Gabby is ready to search for love away from the villa environment.
She says she’s eager to learn from the experts and embrace a new dating experience.
“I’m ready to try something different,” Gabby explained. “I want to enjoy the process and hopefully meet someone special along the way.”
James Haskell Brings Big Personality and Honest Intentions
Former England rugby star and DJ James Haskell is another high-profile addition.
His divorce from Chloe Madeley in 2023 was widely reported, though the pair remain committed to co-parenting their daughter.
James says he’s now in a strong place emotionally and ready to meet someone new.
“I know who I am and what I want,” he said. “I’m excited to meet amazing people, have some fun, and see where it goes.”
MAFS Star Lucinda Light Crosses Continents for Love
Married at First Sight Australia favourite Lucinda Light was the first celebrity confirmed for the new series.
Her warm personality won over UK viewers, despite her TV marriage to Tim Smith failing to develop into a lasting romance.
Since then, Lucinda has built a successful media career in the UK and is now ready to give dating another go.
“I’m outrageously excited for this journey,” she said. “I’ve tried dating Aussie men — now I’m ready for UK charm.”
Rumoured Late Arrival: Stephanie Davis
Actress Stephanie Davis is strongly rumoured to join the cast later in the series.
The former Coronation Street and Hollyoaks star split from partner Joe McKalroy last year and has since focused on healing and family life.
Sources suggest she may enter the show as a late arrival, offering viewers another emotional storyline as the season unfolds.
With a mix of newly single stars, reality TV veterans, and heartfelt second chances, the upcoming series of Celebs Go Dating is shaping up to be one of its most engaging yet.
