Celebs Go Dating expert Anna Williamson reveals show’s explosive format shake-up – which sees a celebrity storm off set
CELEBS Go Dating expert Anna Williamson has revealed the E4 show has had an explosive format shake-up.
The new series of the popular dating programme returns to our screens this Sunday – and it sounds like it is not one to miss.
The likes of Kate Moss’ half -sister Lottie, Talk TV host Vanessa Feltz and Love Islanders Adam Collard and Chloe Burrows are the famous faces looking for love this year.
They will be joined by comedian Spuddz and Made In Chelsea’s Mark-Francis Vandelli.
Celebs Go Dating experts Anna and Paul Carrick Brunson are returning, but there is a new face joining the team – sexpert Dr Tara.
But that’s not the only new element of the show.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun at the official launch event for the new series of Celebs Go Dating, Anna said: “You’ll see our celebrities more exposed than ever before.
“We have a weekly twist each week. Each week you’ll see a twist which is an absolute firework party where the celebrities are really held to the test.
“They aren’t just coasting week in week out this season, every week they have big decisions to make, they have to be held accountable and they have to mop up their mess if they have made one.
“Lets just say I’ve never been speechless before and we’ve never had celebs walking off the show before…
“You see it all!
“And the first time you’ll see members of the public who have dated celebrities really having their voice with the celebrities and owning their space.”
Anna also revealed a screaming row with a ‘disrespectful’ star while filming.
“For the first time ever, Paul and I have a stand up argument with one of the celebrities,” she said.
“But for the first time ever, Paul and I, with a certain celebrity, and we let them know about it and you will see a big three way argument between myself, Paul and one of the celebs.”
“We’re all adults, this is a place of truth and trust,” she continued.
“People are disrespectful to us as the agents, this is our agency, we call them out on it.
“That’s the thing with celebrities, they often don’t given the truth with other areas of their lives.
“When they come into the agency we give zero f**** with regards to letting bad behaviour go.
“If we see bad behaviour we’ll call it out.
“If that means they don’t like it, come at us? We’ll come back at them.”
It comes after it was revealed that former star Ryan-Mark Parsons was brought back by Anna and Paul – but things didn’t go to plan.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Ryan-Mark said: “I got a call from the Agents in desperate need of my help. They dispatched me on a mission to save one of the celebrity clients on their date and it was an explosive encounter.
“I was also told if anything romantic were to occur, I could be open to that too.
“I’ve heard from the agents and my fellow celebrity clients that this series will be ferociously entertaining, action-packed, and a thrill for the viewers.
“During my date, I ran off set because my celebrity date threw a plastic flower at me, smashing it on the floor, destroying the vase, and left me distraught! It will make for very gripping television.”
Lottie also broke her silence on her romance with co-star Adam after a series of secret dates.
Lottie said of Adam: “Well he’s a lovely guy. We really care about each other.”
When asked if there is a romance on the cards, Lottie said: “There could be. You never know. You never know.”
