Celebs Go Dating’s Sinitta slams the show for ‘disgraceful editing’ after Simon Cowell comments
SINITTA has hit out at Celebs Go Dating and accused the show of “disgraceful editing”.
Singer Sinitta, 59, is one of the stars looking for love in the new series but she was left furious after claiming comments about her ex-boyfriend Simon Cowell were took out of context.
Despite Simon, 63, currently planning his wedding to Lauren Silverman, who she shares son Eric, eight, with, it was suggested on CGD that Sinitta is still in love with him.
Refuting this, Sinitta tweeted: “Disgraceful editing!
“To say I was still ‘in love’ with @SimonCowell was a huge disservice to me and my endeavours.
“Why did you do this? Love and ‘in Love’ are very different @CelebsGoDating @awilliamsonTV @PaulCBrunson #iTrustedYou.”

So Macho hitmaker Sinitta dated the music mogul for two years until 1984 and they went on to enjoy a 20-year on/off relationship.
Now Simon has taken on a “protective, big brother” role in Sinitta’s love life.
“Simon was surprised I was doing Celebs Go Dating,” Sinitta told The Sun ahead of tonight’s series 11 launch.
“He said ‘well, anyone they fix you up with I’ll have to vet them.’
