Celebs Go Dating line-up announced: Gemma Collins leads the way as ‘Muggy’ Mike Thalassitis tries to find romance outside of Love Island and Brooklyn Beckham’s ex Tallia Storm looks for a ‘tattooed bad boy’
The celebrity dating agency is about to get very busy as these famous folk put their love lives in the hands of the gurus and date us mere civilians
CELEBS Go Dating has announced its line-up tonight, with Gemma Collins getting on board in her plight to find love.
The eight singletons arrived at the glamorous launch at London's DSTRKT nightclub as the cast of the fourth series was announced.
Meme Queen Gemma is leading the troops as they join forces with the help of Eden Blackman, Lady Nadia Essex and Tom Reid Wilson for the latest series of the E4 hit show.
She will be joined by Love Island hunk 'Muggy' Mike Thalassitis, who is no stranger to going on the hunt for the right woman on TV after flunking in the romance department on the ITV2 villa this summer.
Made In Chelsea stars Ollie Locke and Sam Thompson have also signed up to the exclusive dating service, with Sam on the hunt for a new love after his public relationships with Tiffany Watson and Amelia Lily both fizzled out over the past year.
Brooklyn Beckham’s ex and singer Tallia Storm has also joined the ranks and hinted that she’s after someone just like Posh and Becks’ lad, telling The Sun Online: “I’m looking for rugged bad boys with tattoos.”
The 19-year-old also revealed that she is taking on the show after not having a boyfriend in more than two and a half years - and hasn't even KISSED anyone in that time either.
Comedian London Hughes will also be searching for the right one, and has kept her standards simple, telling us: “I want someone who’s better than me in every way – and also has free parking outside their house.
“I feel like that’s a doable thing to achieve. That’s where I start.”
Olympic tae kwon do champ Jade Jones is bringing some home grown talent to the line-up, and hopes to find someone that will hope to catch up with her hectic schedule.
She told us: “The people who I’ve dated in the past have been from Tae Kwon Do so we had the same schedule and the same thing. They knew what it takes.
“Because my schedule is so intense, on the days I’m not training I’m tired and can’t really drink much. Sometimes before a competition I can’t even eat properly as I have to diet.
“It’s just finding someone who will understand that and stick through it.”
Perhaps the most shocking addition to the cast is former child star Jonathan Lipnicki.
The actor, 27, has starred in hit films including the Oscar-winning Jerry Maguire, alongside Tom Cruise and Renee Zellweger, Stuart Little and The Little Vampire.
Speaking at tonight’s launch, he told The Sun Online that he hoped that finding love on the show would help him shake off his child star image for good.
Meanwhile E4 bosses are elated at the star signing.
An insider told us: "Jonathan is a huge name for the programme and show bosses are delighted to have him.
"As a kid he charmed audiences with his cute persona, now he's hoping to charm them in a different way find love."
Yesterday The Sun Online also announced first that MIC's Sam was joining the show.
A source said: “Sam was really heartbroken this summer over his split with Tiff, but he’s now ready to put everything back into finding love.
“He was really young when he got together with Tiff so he hasn’t had a great deal of experience of dating, so is willing to do everything that Nadia and Eden tell him to get back in the game.”
