CELEBS Go Dating is back on telly for 2020 with a lineup of famous faces looking for love.
The E4 show returns for series eight, with six celebrities confirmed so far, plus experts Anna Williamson and Paul Carrick Brunson are back alongside hilarious receptionist Tom Read Wilson.
The actual air date for series eight is yet to be announced, but show bosses promised “early 2020” so we hopefully won’t have to wait much longer.
Filming started back in November 2019 – but it’s expected to be broadcast on E4 sometime in February.
If the show follows the format of previous series we’ll be treated to 20 episodes.
You can watch the show on E4 and catch up on previous episodes and series on All 4.
The celebs looking for love will be guided by experts Anna Williamson and Paul Carrick Brunson who return to the show for another series.
Anna is a 38-year-old journalist, TV presenter and life coach and joined the dating show in 2018 after Nadia Essex left.
As an accredited counsellor, Anna has also appeared as an expert on Good Morning Britain, This Morning and Single AF.
She first rose to fame as a children’s TV presenter for ITV and co-hosted kids show Toonattik.
Speaking in 2018, she said: “I am so excited to be joining Paul and Tom in the Celebrity Dating Agency. I’ve been a big fan of the show since it launched.
“Celebrities are known for not being backwards in coming forwards in their work life, however being unlucky in love seems to be the common theme amongst many of the celebrities I’ve met throughout my career.
“I’m looking forward to taking them under my wing, dishing out some tough love where needed, and making changes to help them bag the date of their dreams – and this time, keep hold of them!”
‘Love doctor’ Paul is a 38-year-old mentor, entrepreneur and TV presenter from the US and joined Celebs Go Dating in 2018 – taking over from Eden Blackman.
On his website, he describes himself as “the world’s most influential matchmaker”.
After graduating with a degree in business he began his career as an analyst at an investment bank.
However in 2009, he launched his matchmaking firm PCB Agency.
He also wrote the bestseller It’s Complicated (But It Doesn’t Have to Be): A Modern Guide to Finding and Keeping Love.
Paul has appeared as co-host and matchmaker on Oprah Winfrey’s show Lovetown.
The dating show just wouldn’t be the same without the witty Tom on reception and it’s been confirmed the funnyman will be back for series eight.
As the dating experts try to find love for the celebs, the chirpy TV personality is on hand to make them feel comfortable.
Tom greets the stars and offers them some words of advice as they prepare for their dates.
In 2016, Tom appeared on The Voice UK and then settled into regular TV appearances on the likes of Big Brother’s Bit On The Side reading out viewers’ tweets alongside host Rylan Clark-Neal.
If any of the celebs take your fancy, you can still apply to be set up on a date and appear on the show.
You need to be 18 and over and have to be single, obviously.
