Celebs Go Dating in huge format shake up as bosses ‘freshen up’ show ahead of 13th series
CELEBS Go Dating is getting a huge format shake-up in its 13th series, which starts filming soon.
The new run of the hit E4 series, which will air later this year, is mixing things up by ditching the big overseas trip in the show’s final episodes in favour of something different.
A show insider reveals: “The show has been running since 2016, so bosses felt it was time to freshen things up to keep viewers on their toes.
“This time around, rather than one cast trip towards the end of each series, the celebs will be going on more trips throughout the series. It’s not clear at this stage whether these trips will be in the UK or abroad, but it means there will be more interesting dates and scenic locations for fans to feast their eyes on.
“There will be other surprises in store too, but for now bosses are keeping a tight lid on things.”
The Sun has approached a spokesperson for the show for comment.
It comes as The Sun revealed bosses were desperate to sign Vanessa Feltz up for the new series, after her split from Ben Ofoedu.
We reported back in February that bosses were scrambling to woo the TalkTV favourite.
Our source said: “Vanessa is top of the wish list when it comes to casting.
“Talks with potential cast mates are going to begin next month and producers are willing to throw big money Vanessa’s way in a bid to get her to sign on the dotted line.
“She’s been so brave and dignified with how she has dealt with this break-up, and the nation absolutely love her.”
Celebs Go Dating is fronted by relationship experts Anna Williamson, Paul Brunson and Tom Read Wilson.
The last series saw Laura Anderson and Gary Lucy find love together in a surprise twist, and the pair later announced they were expecting a baby together.
While the former couple split in February, Laura is due to give birth in August.
