Now The Sun can exclusively reveal 'King of Ibiza' Wayne, 63, agreed to film some scenes while they were there.
An insider said: 'Bosses thought it would be really fun to bring Wayne back to film some scenes while the gang were out in Ibiza.
'He is a Celebs Go Dating legend and also the King of Ibiza, so it made sense to shoot a cameo with him while the show was filming on the party isle.
'Wayne isn't dating this time around, sadly, but he gave the celebs some advice from his time on the show which will make for some funny viewing.
'None of the cast knew he would be filming so it was a great surprise."
During his first time on the show, Wayne left viewers stunned when he made a revelation about his dating history.
The O Beach owner insisted he's never dated a woman older than 30.
Wayne isn't the only last-minute line-up change of the series, after Christine McGuinness quit the show days into filming.
In a statement, Christine said: '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 for, but for now I'm returning home to my family."
Wayne Lineker reveals he dated Love Island winner Ekin-Su before she found fame
Christine signed up for the show following her public split from ex-husband Paddy, 51, in 2022.

Love Island hit with Ofcom complaints as furious fans hit out at show ‘bullies'
FAN FURY Love Island hit with Ofcom complaints as furious fans hit out at show 'bullies' LOVE Island has become embroiled in a new controversy after complaints were lodged with Ofcom following a row in the Majorca villa.. Viewers were left stunned by what they described as 'bullying' behaviour from islanders Toni, 24, and Shakira, 22, towards Emily, 24, during Sunday's dramatic episode. Advertisement 4 The bullying row started when Toni previously said Emily was annoying because of her 'Little Miss Sunshine' persona Credit: Eroteme 4 Shakira and Emily then clashed on Sunday Credit: Eroteme Some fans called the scenes 'difficult to watch' and 'downright mean' on social media, with 56 lodging official complaints to the telly watchdog. The drama began brewing on Friday night when Toni criticised Emily's upbeat attitude in a conversation with Megan, saying: 'I can't listen to her. 'Little Miss Sunshine' all the time.' She later doubled down, saying bluntly: 'Emily's just f**king nosey.' Things reached a boiling point when Shakira confronted Emily on Sunday, telling her: 'I feel like in situations, it's a case of reading the room a little bit…I feel like you've not made an effort with us.' Advertisement Emily pushed back, saying she felt unfairly targeted. She said 'Just 'cause she's in a bad mood doesn't mean I can't be in a good mood…you should have come to me.' When Emily later discussed the exchange with other islanders, Shakira followed her and pulled her aside again - this time accusing Emily of being 'bitchy' and gossiping behind their backs. Emily stood her ground and denied the accusations, but the fallout didn't go unnoticed. Advertisement Social media lit up with furious reactions: 'What's with the bullying in this villa????' 'So uncomfy to watch. All the girls just bullying one another—it's disgusting.' Love Island 'bully' row as Toni and Shakira turn on Emily in massive argument 'Emily hasn't done anything to deserve this. Shakira and Toni are bullies. Simple.' It started when Toni previously said Emily was annoying because of her 'Little Miss Sunshine' persona. Advertisement Her behaviour was called out by Love Island winner Jess Harding. She wrote about Ton's "b****y behaviour" and said on Instagram: "Ok what the hell, just because someone isn't your cup of tea doesn't mean you can cause a big drama over it?!" Jess began her caption. "Toni girl I loved you but I don't like b****y behaviour & pulling crying behaviour." Jess continued: "Why can't the girls be 1 big group cos these men be acting CRAZY."

Tommy's furious mates slam Megan as she secretly snogs Conor on the terrace after Love Island star breaks down in tears
LOVE Island star Megan has come under fire from Tommy's furious friends after her secret snogs with Conor on the terrace. Tommy's mates have lashed out at the Irish beauty after they watched her kissing Conor in last night's show. 6 Tommy's friends have slammed Megan for her terrace antics Credit: Eroteme 6 Megan secretly snogged Conor twice on the terrace Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 6 She knew Tommy had been crying over her before her kisses with Conor Credit: Eroteme Smitten Tommy had been left in tears over Conor's efforts to pinch his girl - and his pals are seriously unimpressed after she kissed the rugby lad while knowing this. Footage of Conor and Megan's secret snogs on the terrace has now been shared on Love Island's official Instagram account. Tommy's friend Doddsy replied: "Tommy is too good for her." Another pal called Arch said: "You know it." And their mate Ethan chimed in: "Far too good geez." Despite being happily coupled up with Tommy from the start of the series, Megan's head has now been turned by Conor after his attempt at a romance with American Toni fizzled out. Tommy has been left gutted but, despite branding his love rival "disrespectful", Conor has continued to crack on in his pursuit for Megan. In Tuesday night's show, Megan and Conor disappeared up to the terrace and snogged twice. They both loved the intimate moment, with Conor calling it his "best kiss" and Megan rating their snog "11 out of 10". But Love Island viewers were horrified as, earlier in the day, Harry had told Megan that Tommy had been crying about the situation. Four couples at risk as new bombshells whisk Love Islanders away for sizzling sleepover Tommy's tears came after he had slept separately to Megan following a clash in bed. In the morning, the landscape gardener told the boys he wanted to "sit in the corner and do nothing all day", before breaking down in tears. Like Tommy's pals, fans of the ITV2 show were shocked by Megan's sneaky actions on the terrace. "Going to the terrace and kissing Connor TWICE after you have been told Tommy was crying is crazy," one said. Another added: "Not Megan kissing Conor after Harry literally only just told her that Tommy was upset and crying?!?" Current Love Island couples Here's who is currently coupled up with who in the villa: Shakira and Harry Yasmin and Ben Meg and Dejon Alima and Remell Toni and Harrison Megan and Tommy Conor and Emily Shea and Helena And a third blasted: "Megan you spent the last 2 weeks preaching about respect and you do Tommy like that after being told he was crying earlier in the day??? WILD." Meanwhile, a mass cull is set to shake the villa after FOUR islanders are given the chop. The Sun has exclusively revealed that fans are set to be shocked by the outcome, as not even the week one OGs are safe.
