Celebs Go Dating series five is due to hit our TV screens very soon, and we couldn't be more obsessed with the show which was created to help celebrities find love. But after the recent drama surrounding Lady Nadia Essex, the dating expert has now been AXED from the E4 show.

Nadia, who has appeared on the show from the beginning, admitted to creating fake Twitter accounts which were used to tweet about cheating allegations against her former co-star Eden Blackman.

Since then, Nadia has opened up saying that she had hit 'rock bottom' when it happened. Speaking in a recent interview, Nadia said that she had written the messages after being told not to speak publicly about how Eden 'allegedly' cheated on his girlfriend. She explained, "I felt like I wasn't allowed my freedom of speech and was told not to put out a public statement."

Nadia appeared on This Morning back in 2014 to discuss her decision to date rich men. She said, "For me I’d just had enough of dating deadbeat guys.

"I like nice things and I’m not ashamed of that and I like going to nice dinners and I like romance. And wealthy guys are very romantic.

"I'm not the type of girl that will settle for the middle."

She once felt the wrath of the parsnip adorned Geordie Shore star, Gary Beadle, after she proclaimed "he has no one" during a chat with the Daily Star Online about his relationship with Charlotte Crosby.

She said: "I think it's going to take a few more years before he wises up to the fact that, actually, he's slept with all these girls but he's got no one on the end of the phone to call when something goes really well in his life.

Ouch.

Gaz wasn't very pleased about her comments, and hit back in his Daily Star column: "The fact is, Nadia is like however old, sitting writing about me and my life. This makes me think she seriously needs to get a life."
