'You forget you're on TV, so it's very raw'

With Made In Chelsea's calendar of swanky soirées and Love Island's supply of gorgeous singletons, it's hard to imagine reality TV hunks Tristan Phipps and Chris Taylor struggling for female attention. However, the duo are starring in the latest series of Celebs Go Dating and admit they need some expert advice when it comes to matters of the heart.

Catching up with us to talk about the series, Tristan and Chris explain that they haven't been getting it right in their dating lives.

"Even though I've been on Love Island twice, I haven't actually been on many dates. Other than the ones on TV," says Chris, 34, who appeared on Love Island back in 2019, and again earlier this year in the All Stars spin-off.

Similarly, SW3 local Tristan, 29, admits that since going through a public break-up with Made In Chelsea co-star Olivia Bentley last year in emotional scenes that played out on the reality show he has struggled to make a "meaningful" connection.

Here, they tell us how they've taken advice from the Celebs Go Dating pros-Anna Richardson, Paul C Brunson and Dr Tara Suwinyattichaiporn - talk about their therapy journeys and reveal if they're really looking for The One...

Hi guys! We're loving you both on Celebs Go Dating! Why did you sign up for the show?

Chris: I'm just a hopeless romantic. Over many moons of dating shows I've struggled to connect with people, so I needed the coaching that Celebs Go Dating offers.
