The new series of Celebs Go Dating has begun, with the agency's doors now officially open. The E4 dating show – which sees famous faces set up on dates with ordinary people with the help of expert agents Dr Tara, Anna Williamson and Paul Carrick Brunson – has become a popular stop-off on the reality TV circuit for stars who need a bit of help playing the love game.
Having started on Channel 4 in 2016, Celebs Go Dating has had celebrities like Joey Essex, Vanessa Feltz, Jonathan Cheban, Gemma Collins, Olivia Attwood and Lady Colin Campbell all take part. The show has provided more awkward dates, expert interventions and cross-celeb flirting than we care to keep track of – and even a few relationships too.
This year's line up is full of reality stars, pop stars, soap stars and hopeless romantics. Let's find out who's looking for love in series 13...

Who is on the new series of Celebs Go Dating 2024?
Lauryn Goodman
Lauryn Goodman - the older sister of reality star Chloe Goodman - is an influencer and model who has her own fashion brand Nineteen Clothing.
Lauryn is renowned for her regular tabloid headline-hitting, namely for the scandal surrounding her having two children with married footballer Kyle Walker. The pair have recently been to court regarding child maintenance, but a judge ruled in Kyle's favour.
'I am ready to put my past behind me and move forward, so I am hoping the agents can find me someone I really vibe with and that could potentially blossom into something more!' she says.
Chris Taylor
Chris Taylor found fame on series five of Love Island in 2019 and dated co-star Maura Higgins after the show. Last summer, he appeared on the first Love Island: All Stars series in South Africa, but was unlucky in love there, too. So he's off to the agency on Celebs Go Dating to see if he can find himself a match.
When he's not looking for love, the 33-year-old reality star is usually goofing around with his fellow islanders on social media or, quite randomly, popping up in Greta Gerwig's 2023 film Barbie. You can keep up with Chris ahead of the new series on Instagram.
Chris says, 'I get mildly sweaty palms when I think about joining the agency, but I know I need all the help I can get in the dating department. This isn’t my first dating show, so hopefully, Celebs Go Dating will put me to the test and help me figure out where I’ve been going wrong!'
Helen Flanagan
Helen Flanagan is newly single after splitting from her boyfriend-of-13 years, Scott Sinclair – who she has three children with – last year.
The former Coronation Street star, 34, can be found on social media here, where she shares pictures of her family life as well as plenty of bikini pics.
Helen says, 'I am so ready and excited for this! I am really hoping to learn and grow from this experience and hoping the agency can find me arelationship that flourishes into something loving, trusting and secure.'
On the first episode, she was seen trying to chat up men but revealed more than she had planned to. 'It's hot isn't it? It's really, really, really hot. I feel like I've got sweaty boobs now and I can't wear any knickers with this dress because it would get a line,' she told the two strangers.
Ella Morgan
Reality TV star Ella Morgan is another celebrity getting ready to appear on Celebs Go Dating. She found fame last year after taking part in Married At First Sight UK. At first she was coupled up with Geordie boy Nathan Valentino and seemed smitten, but things quickly soured between the couple and they struggled to find a romantic connection on the show.
After choosing to leave the experiment, Ella then reentered with co-star JJ Slater in a shock twist, but they later parted ways. JJ is now dating Katie Price and Ella was last seen kissing Strictly Come Dancing finalist Bobby Brazier at the TV BAFTAs after party. So it's likely she'll bring some much needed drama to the show.
Ella says, 'I have learnt to love myself again so really feel like now is the time to put myself out there to start dating again. I’m hoping the agents can find me an organic relationship.'
Jamelia
Iconic noughties singer Jamelia, best known for her single Superstar and for being a Loose Women panellist between 2013 and 2016, is also heading to the Celebs Go Dating agency this summer. The 43-year-old star is looking for love again after breaking up with her partner in 2022 while she was pregnant with his child.
The singer has four daughters, so let's hope the agency matches her with someone willing to earn their approval. Follow Jamelia on Instagram here.
Jamelia says, 'I am very nervous about putting my dating life out there but hoping the agents can help me find a man who won’t need fixing and who can take care of me.'
Stephen Lustig-Webb
Gogglebox fans will remember Stephen Lustig-Webb as one of the show's most beloved cast members. He was a staple on the show from 2013 to 2023, whether he was sat with his ex-partner Christopher Steed, his mum Pat Webb, or his ex-husband Daniel Lustig on the sofa.
In April, he announced that he was divorcing his husband after six years of marriage, and it looks like he's just about ready to find love again on another Channel 4 show.
'I am so clueless when it comes to dating having been out of the game for so long, so I am very excited to meet new people and see what the agency can do for me,' Stephen says.
Tristan Phipps
Made in Chelsea lothario Tristan Phipps has been single ever since he split from his ex-girlfriend and former co-star Liv Bentley last summer. MIC fans have watched several of his relationships play out on the show, many of which have ended in tears or splashed drinks.
While he's been casually dating a few different people on the current series of the show, it looks like nothing serious has come of it. Tristan is joining the cast of Celebs Go Dating in the hopes of meeting someone new.
Tristan says, 'I think this is going to be fun! I’m looking forward to datingoutside my usual circles and I hope the agents can give me advice on how to navigate relationships and connections.'
