Celebs Go Dating return date just days away - as series undergoes major shake-up
Months after revealing the star studded line-up, E4 have confirmed a start date for hit show Celebs Go Dating, and fans don't have long to wait.
The 14th season will see celebrities including Kerry Katona and The Chase's Mark Labbett push themselves out of their comfort zone with the help of celebrity dating agents Anna Williamson, Paul C. Brunson and sexual communication specialist Dr. Tara Suwinyattichaiporn.
Other single celebs heading into the dating agency include Love Island 's Olivia Hawkins, Made in Chelsea's Sam Prince, CBB star and comedian Donna Preston, S Club's Jon Lee and Too Hot To Handle's Louis Russell.
Fans don't have long to wait at all until they can witness all the dating drama unfold, with the series kicking off on Monday August 11th at 9pm on E4.
Unlike former series, the celebs won't be kicking off their journey in London. In fact, they'll be heading over to Ibiza, staying in a luxurious villa. Will the new location turn up the heat? Whilst the celebs were out filming a few months back, it was rumoured that Olivia and Louis had formed a connection with each other - breaking one of the agencies major rules. But how will things pan out?
Christine McGuinness also headed off to Ibiza to join the rest of the cast following her split with Take Me Out host Paddy. However, it was revealed halfway into filming that she had decided the process wasn't for her.
The mother of two said in her statement: "I joined Celebs Go Dating with great intentions but have realised that dating on a public platform and the attention that brings is just too soon for me. They've said the door is always open for me which I'm so grateful but for now I'm returning home to my family."
Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, sexpert Dr Tara said on her departure: 'As one of the dating experts on the show, I completely respect Christine's decision to step away at this time," she said.
"It takes real self awareness and strength to recognise your emotional boundaries, especially in such a unique and public setting. We support her wholeheartedly and wish her continued healing, happiness, and love on her terms.'
Elsewhere, Dr Tara gave us an insight into what we can expect during the new series. Former Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona joins the agency after announcing her heartbreaking split with ex-fiancé Ryan Mahoney.
"Lovely Kerry has an amazing story. People will really get to hear what has been happening since she last joined the agency. A lot has happened since she last joined," Dr Tara told the Mirror.
"She really is able to use our agency as a platform to tell us what truly happened and her narrative. She has had a very traumatic life but is in a very good place now to move forward with romance and dating."

Christine McGuinness makes thinly veiled dig at ex husband Paddy and admits she 'wants to have a deeper connection with women'
Christine McGuinness has made a thinly-veiled dig at her ex husband Paddy as she opened up about her sexuality. The 37-year-old model is in the current line-up for the new series of E4's Celebs Go Dating after splitting the Top Gear star in 2022. Christine, who shares three kids with Paddy, 51, described her new way of dating as her being a 'free spirit' and she is ' enjoying' spending time with women. 'Now I'm enjoying spending time with women,' she told The Sun. 'I can just have a deeper connection with a woman. 'I like someone who knows what they want and isn't playing games.' Christine says she refuses to put a label on her sexuality, but Paddy knew about it when they were together. She continued: 'My ex-husband knew about it from when we first met and was fine with it.' The telly star admitted that for the past three years, she has been involved with women only, including the likes of DJ Roxxxan and Chelcee Grimes. It comes after Christine gave an update on her relationship with former husband Paddy after they split. Discussing the reality of co-parenting with Paddy, Christine told Amy Hart's podcast: 'I've been separated from my ex husband for three years. We get on really well. 'We still live at home together, but of course, I want some adult company. I can't just sit and be with children all day, every day. 'I like that time out - being away from home when I'm working - but I haven't got that time out being away from home not working and just enjoying some adult company. 'I haven't had that, so I got the opportunity and thought, You know what? Why not? I understand myself, so I'll be fine. 'I'll manage it and it was just a step too far.' 'I found it quite overwhelming, so I listened to myself and I'm really, really proud that I recognised how I felt... 'I went home to my children after two weeks. I was supposed to do 10 weeks of filming - and I'd done two weeks - and I'm really, really proud of myself that I did what was right for me.' She added: 'If something doesn't feel right for you, physically, mentally, emotionally, it's okay to leave. 'That's something I tell my children quite a lot, because being autistic, you can stay and do what other people want you to do. 'I think it's really, really important to know that you can leave the party, you can leave the job, leave the event, you can leave the relationship at any time.'
