Two huge Love Island legends sign up for Celebs Go Dating alongside Vanessa Feltz
CELEBS Go Dating bosses have singed two Love Island legends for the upcoming series.
Chloe Burrows and Adam Collard are putting their faith in dating experts Paul C Brunson and Anna Williamson in another bid to find the one.
An insider said: “Chloe and Adam are two of the best Islanders ever, and bosses see their signings as a real coup.
“Adam is one of the country’s best known bachelors, but viewers will see another side to him as he moves on from his villa past.
“While Chloe is finally ready to meet a new man after her split and her personality is sure to shine on the show.”
For Adam, it will be third time lucky, having already had two stints in the Love Island villa.
Following his second appearance last summer, he stole Welsh girl Paige Thorne’s heart, but their romance was short-lived back in the outside world after Adam was pictured looking close with other women on nights out.
Chloe, on the other hand, was devastated when she was dumped by her Love Island beau Toby Aromalaran last year after a year together.
She recently opened up about the split on her Chloe vs The World YouTube show.
She told best pal Millie Court: “Remember when I called you crying? And I was like ‘I don’t know what’s gonna happen, I’ve been dumped’ and you were like ‘just live with me’, and then I called you crying a few days later and you were like ‘I’ve booked Morocco. I was like ‘wow, I love this girl’.”
The duo will join newly-single Vanessa Feltz on the programme after bosses spent months wooing her.
The Sun exclusively revealed that the legendary TalkTV broadcaster, 61, was the first star to seal the deal to take part in the next run of the E4 series.
Bosses were keen to sign her up after Vanessa dumped her cheating ex, Ben Ofoedu back in February.
A TV insider said: “When Vanessa was first approached to do the show, she wasn’t 100% sure as the break-up was very fresh and she didn’t want to rush into anything.
“Now she has had time to think about it and she’s decided to give it a whirl. Her relationship coming to a devastating, unexpected end after 16 years has made her realise that life is short and you have to grab opportunities when they come your way.
“She’s not necessarily expecting to find her soulmate, but she’s also keeping an open mind as stranger things have happened. At 61 years old, she wants to have fun, live life and try new things – and this fits the bill perfectly.”
Execs at Channel 4, meanwhile, are rubbing their hands together at landing such a big name as The Sun previously revealed Vanessa had been top of their wish list for months.
The source added: “She’s the biggest name they’ve booked in ages and they’re confident she will be the star attraction of the series. She’s funny, whip-smart and loved by the public, who want nothing more than for her to get the happy ending she deserves.
“Vanessa isn’t going to just give her heart to anyone, it will take someone very special indeed for her to find Mr Right again, but producers are lining up some great guys for her to go on dates with and are really hoping they find someone she has a magic spark with.”
The Sun on Sunday revealed earlier this year how Vanessa discovered a trail of emails and social media messages leading her to uncover several of Ben’s infidelities.
Vanessa told us at the time: “It’s a lot to deal with — a shock like this takes some adjusting to — but I am extremely sad and disappointed that my 16-year relationship with Ben is over.
“As an agony aunt I have said many times that once the trust in a relationship is gone, it can never be repaired or regained.”
