"When we filmed it, I was at a bit of a crossroads in my own journey as well, so it was just something I wanted to see what I could do, push my mind to. "Funnily enough actually, today is a year of not drinking, so it's been part of that process as well. "So yeah, had a nice little roll-around with Conor, and I'll let you know who wins." Meanwhile, Benn is due to fight Chris Eubank Jr in a rematch this November. He lost to Eubank Jr in April via unanimous decision.

But unbeknownst to Celebrity Big Brother star, the man ended up being jailed, with Donna spotting his picture in the newspaper. Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Donna opened up about her dating past, saying: "Mine is a disaster, I don't think I've had a nice date. "I've been in two long-term relationships and when I got out of that I went on a date and they ended up being a murderer. "A real life murderer! "He's in jail though, so that's nice. "It's been quite tricky, so it's nice to put my life in the agents hands and ask them to get me some dates. Discussing her biggest red flags since the nightmare date, Donna said: "I'm aware of red flags and aware of boundaries and not giving the benefit of the doubt too much. "My biggest red flag is to ask if they're a murderer!" Donna admitted there were times during the agency where she made an early escape after failing to hit it off with her match.

"Yeah there were moments I did leave. "We're not always going to connect with everyone." While Donna also admitted she wanted all the free therapy she could get at the celebrity agency. She told us: "It's a really quiet place in there and it's quite intimate as well. Ultimately we want to get things from the agents, it's not just a job, they're professionals, so for me I wanted to get as much as I can because they're very expensive on the outside world." The Sun revealed in May that Donna was a late signing to the new series of E4's Celebs Go Dating. Donna will appear alongside The Chase's Mark Labbett, S Club 7's Jon Lee, Love Island's Olivia Hawkins, Sam Prince from Made In Chelsea and Too Hot To Handle's Louis Russell. She completes the line-up following the exit of Christine McGuinness, who, after a few days, realised she wasn't yet ready to date in the public eye. Donna said: 'I'm buzzing to be joining the show and to finally crack the code on what men really want, besides snacks and not being asked what they're thinking. 'I'm intrigued to meet new people, but let's be honest, if a date's boring, I won't waste anyone's time. "Life's too short to sit through tales of someone's coin collection, I'll be gone before the starter arrives.' The Apocalypse Wow host was previously tipped to take part in the E4 dating show before joining Celebrity Big Brother last month. An insider told me at the time: 'Donna was toying with dipping her toe in the dating pool on TV and had been in talks with bosses on the E4 show, but then she was also offered CBB. 'She felt it was the better career move.'
