We really hope you're enjoying your well-deserved break from reality dating shows because, in just a matter of days, Celebs Go Dating returns to our screens and then almost immediately after that, it's time for another round of matrimonial chaos in the form of Married At First Sight.
Then it's Christmas and then it's All Stars 2026.
Remember when we all used to watch wholesome content like David Attenborough documentaries? Us neither.
Series 14 of the Channel 4 dating show (well, sort of – are ANY of the former couples even still together?) hasn't even launched yet and already we have walk-outs, last-minute sign ups and TEA.
Shall we?
When does Celebs Go Dating 2025 launch?
You can watch the new series of Celebs Go Dating on E4 or stream on Channel 4 from Monday 11 August at 9pm.
Who is taking part in Celebs Go Dating 2025?
The OG line-up included presenter and TV personality Christine McGuiness, Atomic Kitten legend Kerry Katona, Too Hot To Handle’s Louis Russell, Love Island's Olivia Hawkins, and S Club 7 star Jon Lee, with master of quizzes, Mark ‘The Beast’ Labbett set to join later in the series.
Christine then decided the show wasn't for her while filming in Ibiza and was replaced by Celebrity Big Brother's Donna Preston.
Made in Chelsea's Sam Prince was also added to the line-up late in the game.
What do we know about Celebs Go Dating 2025? No major spoilers, please...
Kerry Katona is currently the betting favourite to find love on the series, ahead of Mark Labbett and Jon Lee, so all eyes on their connections from the very beginning.
We also (sort of) know that MIC's Sam, has met someone. Just yesterday we reported that the foliage-loving fella recently took to TikTok to share a video him of being all love-dovey and dancing with a mystery brunette, who we're guessing he met on Celebs Go Dating? Although with this guy, you never know...
What's this about cast hookups?
It's no secret that celebs LOVE to break that golden agency rule – don't hook up with your fellow celebs (in the past, Adam Collard and Lottie Moss had a dramatic fling, and TOWIE's Joey Essex and Stephanie Pratt fell for each other). And it seems we have some culprits this year.
There's reportedly more cast hook-ups than ever this series. According to Closer, this season the celebs are said to be casting off their dates and making a beeline for each other, which insiders say is ruining the integrity of the show.
A source told the publication, ‘The magic of Celebs Go Dating has completely fizzled out. It used to be a feel-good show, but now it’s full of tension and scripted chaos, and it’s hard to create chemistry when hardly anyone actually seems to want to reconnect with their dates. The genuine dating element is long gone, and some of the cast are just hooking up with each other willy nilly.’
You want names, don't you? Well, there were rumours about Olivia and Louis...
Who are the dating agents this year?
Of course, to guide the latest showbiz singletons through their search for love are accredited therapist and relationship guru Anna Williamson, certified life coach and matchmaking pro Paul C. Brunson, and University professor and sexual communication specialist Dr. Tara Suwinyattichaiporn, and everyone’s fave, Tom Read Wilson who will be on hand, as Senior Client Coordinator and Celeb Confidante, to offer his signature charm and words of wisdom.
