Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, the last series of Celebs Go Dating saw the agency get creative, with the celebrity clients embarking on Zoom dates and socially distanced dates. And things aren't going to be back to normal for the 2021 series, which was announced last week.
But, already, filming on the hit dating show is going to have be delayed - as Curtis Pritchard has unfortunately tested positive for Covid-19, according to The Sun. A source told the paper, 'It’s just terrible luck for Curtis. He followed all the rules by the letter of the law, quarantined for two weeks and kept himself to himself.' The rest of the stars are now under quarantine until everyone gets the all clear.
When filming can start, for the first time ever, the agency's clients are all going to be living together. In a £30million Surrey mansion. So expect lots of drama, as cameras are going to be following the celebrities for the whole of their four week stay.
Who else is going to be joining the series though? Well, as usual, we have a few familiar reality faces - with Geordie Shore's Chloe Ferry returning to the agency, along with new recruits Made In Chelsea's Sophie Hermann. Also living in the house will be Strictly Come Dancing runner-up Karim Zeroual, Hollyoaks and Coronation Street star Kimberly Hart-Simpson and DJ Tom Zanetti.
Oh, and Wayne Lineker, who you might remember from drawing up a wild list of 'girlfriend requirements' earlier this year - from having a passport for your dog to loving Netflix’s Money Heist to giving up your entire career (or at least be prepared to work from the beach). He later said it was 'banter', but to be fair, it looks like the agency have their work cut out...
And experts Paul C Brunson and Anna Williamson will return for the new series along with Tom Read Wilson.
Curtis, who was rumoured to be dating dancer Amber Pierson following his split from Maura Higgins, previously said about the show: 'I’m so excited to join the Celebs Go Dating agency. I’m really looking forward to learning more about myself. I can’t wait to see who the agents set me up with. I have not been on many dates in my life, so I’m super excited to explore the dating scene, hopefully I’ll find my version of the perfect woman.'
