IS ROMANCE in the air for a selection of celebrities as Celebs Go Dating continues its second series?

In 2016 the E4 show followed trials and tribulations of Geordie Shore's Charlotte Crosby, Chelsea girl Stephanie Pratt and Towie's Joey Essex as tried to find a mate - Joey and Steph broke the rules though and got into a relationship with each other, only for it to end after three short months.

Now the show is back (with strict rules about inter-celeb hook ups), but what can viewers expect this time around?

Here's all you need to know...

What time is Celebs Go Dating on TV tonight?

Celebs Go Dating continues with a brand new episode on E4 tonight at 10pm.

This is episode 16 of the second series of the dating show in which famous faces attempt to find romance.

The good news is producers also plan to put out two series this year, with another set of celebrities set to be put through their paces in autumn.

What is Celebs Go Dating all about?

Well, the clue is in the title. A group of celebrities are coached and set up on dates in a bid to find them love.

Dating experts are tasked with pairing off the famous faces with their perfect match - selected from members of the public.

During the course of the show, viewers see the line-up given tips on how to bag a partner, as well as how the group interact with one another.

But who are these experts?

Lady Nadia Essex is one of the love gurus and she has been featured in a number of dating articles and TV segments over the years.

She's had to defend herself in the past for dating only rich men and found herself on the receiving end of Gaz Beadle's anger in the last series after he took offence at her comments on his relationship with Charlotte Crosby.

Eden Blackman makes up the other half of the dating duo and he is founder of the online dating website, .

He's also featured as a dating expert on shows including This Morning.

Everyone's favourite receptionist Tom Read Wilson also returns to man the office.

The delightful Tom puts the celebs at ease as they prepare for dates, and he will be particularly happy to see the return of Joey Essex who he made no secret of having a crush on in the first series.

Who's NOT going to be featured on the show this week?

Stephen Bear

He's the controversial winner of last year's Celebrity Big Brother and he'll always be remembered for his steamy antics with Playboy model Chloe Khan in the house.

But just as we were starting to imagine how Stephen was going to fare taking orders from Lady Nadia and Eden it has been revealed the CBB star has been axed from the show.

It was never going to bode well for match-makers that Stephen has appeared on MTV's Ex On The Beach - twice.

But now The Sun Online has exclusively revealed that Stephen was dropped from the show after leading bosses to think he was single and in search for love, when he was secretly dating former Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby.

He appeared in the episodes last week before a showdown with the dating gurus over his outrageous behaviour, running out of a date and leaving the poor girl sitting at the table!

Who's looking for love this time around?

Joey Essex

Everyone's favourite Essex boy returns to the second series after his bid to find lasting love failed.

The former Towie star enjoyed a brief romance with Made In Chelsea's Stephanie Pratt after meeting on last year's show.

The pair were never set up on a date together, but embarked on a three-month relationship after going on unsuccessful dates with other people.

Another Towie alumni, Ferne now spends her time presenting on This Morning.

The 26-year-old has made it clear that she's hoping the show's love experts find her "Mr Right."

She said: "I've enlisted the help of Nadia and Eden to help find me a fit guy who can keep me on my toes.

She didn't have much luck in the first week of the show - she had a series of unsuccessful dates and found herself on the receiving end of criticism over her apparent expectation for her date to pick up a hefty dinner bill.
