After much speculation, the line-up for Celebs Go Virtual Dating – the socially distanced new series of Celebs Go Dating – has been confirmed and it features some reality TV legends, including our Love Island favourite Shaughna Phillips.
Geordie Shore__ star Chloe Ferry, who has been spotted on one of her dates, is another of the famous faces looking for love. They’ll be joined by rugby player and The X Factor: Celebrity__ star Levi Davis and TOWIE’s Pete Wicks, who returns to the agency for a second time.
The celebs will be guided by expert dating agents Paul Carrick Brunson and Anna Williamson as well as their junior client coordinator Tom Read Wilson, who will all be returning to the show.
The show has undergone some changes though, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, so instead of meeting their matches at mixers and going on intimate dates, Chloe, Shaughna, Levi and Pete will either be set up on remote dates from home or head outside for a socially distanced date.
