Former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan giggles as she cosies up to singer Jamelia, Married At First Sight UK’s Ella Morgan and Gogglebox’s Stephen Webb on the Celebs Go Dating sofa. Meanwhile, influencer Lauryn Goodman stands behind, rubbing shoulders with cheeky chaps Made in Chelsea’s Tristan Phipps and Love Island’s Chris Taylor – who can’t help but mess about. “Stop getting your nipple out, Chris!” the photographer laughs.
The sparkling line-up of reality stars has gathered at the E4 show’s London agency for OK!’s exclusive shoot, teasing what’s in store for the upcoming series. Ella, 30, is making history as the show’s first transgender dater and Helen, 34, is ready to date after splitting from her ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair two years ago.
Stephen, 53, is polishing up his dating skills after announcing his divorce from co-star Daniel Lustig-Webb while Jamelia, 43, looks for love after a “catastrophic” break-up and Tristan, 29, and Chris, 34, are hoping they’ll finally find long-term romance. Meanwhile, Lauryn, 33, joins halfway through the show and hopes to get her “mojo” back after clashing with footballer Kyle Walker, the father of her two kids, in court over child maintenance payments.
With emotional breakthroughs, awkward dates and threats of quitting ahead, the Celebs Go Dating 2024 stars reveal why they’re looking for love and what they got up to on the E4 show…
LAURYN GOODMAN
Why Celebs Go Dating?
It came at a good time – I had lost myself and it took me a while to get myself back. I thought joining the agency would get me out of my comfort zone. My kids come first and I do everything with them, so I don’t have time to date outside of that.
