'The celebs were so emotional!'

Celebs Go Dating is back on our screens with its spiciest series yet as the show’s three expert matchmakers promise to smash the celebrities’ game plans, cut through the “b******t” and help them find love.

Paul C Brunson, Anna Williamson and Dr Tara will be guiding Love Island ’s Chris Taylor, Made In Chelsea’s Tristan Phipps, actress Helen Flanagan, Married At First Sight UK ’s Ella Morgan, singer Jamelia, influencer Lauryn Goodman and former Gogglebox regular Stephen Webb in their quest to find romance.

While Paul and Anna are seasoned experts on the show, sex therapist Dr Tara is entering her second series on the panel and it seems she’s made herself at home in the agency, even sharing details of her own sex life with her colleagues.

“We’re not prudes but Dr Tara is spicy,” Anna says, laughing. “She was just casually on her phone one day and said, ‘Let me show you this video of a party I was at the other day.’”

Tara interjects, “I went to a birthday party that was also an erotic party. It’s not a secret that I go to play parties.”

“I had gone to Steve and Wendy’s barbecue, we had a Colin The Caterpillar cake,” says Anna. “Meanwhile, Dr Tara had been at a porn party. Me and Paul were still thinking about this video the next day – I had a lot of questions!”

With the trio bringing different areas of relationship expertise to the show, the Celebs Go Dating agents are now a “firm team”.
