The TV world was rocked yesterday (12th Sept) by the news that Lady Nadia Essex had been AXED from Celebs Go Dating. The dating guru, who led the show alongside her former co-star Eden Blackman, was let go from the show yesterday after news broke that she'd allegedly set up fake Twitter accounts in order to troll former stars.
A source told The Sun, "Bosses have made the decision following an investigation into Nadia’s use of social media. She was found to be setting up fake accounts to troll certain users – which is something that won’t be tolerated."

Reality star Callum Izzard found fame on Ibiza Weekender, but he's now looking for love. He said, "I've had a couple of relationships in the past but none of them have stuck so I hope Nadia and Paul can pull it out of the bag."
HOWEVER. It's now being claimed that the person she'd targeted with the fake accounts is none other than Eden himself - who quit the show earlier this year.
Although Eden said at the time that the reason for his departure from the show was so that he could pursue other career interests, rumours swirled that he'd fallen out with Nadia - something she rubbished in a tweet which read, 'In response to further reports today that Eden left Celebs Go Dating because of a fall out with me, I want to set the record straight that his decision to leave the show was for his own reasons and was absolutely nothing to do with me.'
The Sun have reported that the accounts slammed him as a "liar," a "cheat" and a "dog," and accused him of "sleeping with young girls," likening him to disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein.
Eden is reportedly "convinced" that Nadia is behind the attacks, apparently hiring an analytics company to investigate.
heatworld have contacted Nadia and Eden's reps for comment.
