Celebs Go Dating return with new line-up - Love Island star to Simon Cowell's ex

Celebs Go Dating is once again returning to our screens with the dating agency doors wide open to a host of love-seeking stars.

And for the 11th series of the Channel 4 show the creative producers have 'ramped up' the format with 'more challenges and compatibility tests' as they say contestants will how to cope with their suiters under a few new 'gruelling dating conditions'.

This series stars include a sprinkling of reality stars with Love Islanders Liam Reardon and Laura Anderson, TOWIE hottie Pete Wicks and Geordie Shore beauty Bethan Kershaw.

Other celebs due to appear on the show include International music star Sinitta, Footballers Wives and Hollyoaks heart-throb Gary Lucy, Apprentice star Navid Sole and Tinder Swindler victim Cecilie Fjellhøy.

Simon Cowell's on-off former flame Sinitta, 58, has high hopes for the show saying she's been single nine years and 'wants a husband' (or a boyfriend)!

And TOWIE'S Pete is so keen he's coming back for a second appearance admitting his last innings prompted a bromance with fellow singleton Made In Chelsea's Sam Thompson — but he's firmly looking for romance this time around.

Former teen pin-up Gary Lucy, 40, admits he's 'had no time for dating' so is happy to hand over the planning to love gurus Paul Carrick Brunson and Anna Williamson to hopefully 'teach an old dog new tricks'.

Channel 4 has said viewers can expect a 'rollercoaster ride of dating highs and lows, bombshell moments, and plenty of laughs'.

And of course, the series will culminate with the return of the agency travelling overseas for a spectacular series finale in Cyprus.

On returning to the agency, dating expert, Anna Williamson said: "I’m so excited to get back to the agency with my besties Paul and Tom. We are really intrigued to see what dating looks like for our celebs in this series, it’s such an eclectic bunch!"

Matchmaker Paul C Brunson added: "This series will be an exciting experiment to see how our celebs cope with their dates under a few new gruelling dating conditions, but also the feedback and agency sessions. This series Celeb line-up is one of my favourites yet, and I can’t wait to get stuck right in with helping them find love."

The show's return would not be complete without the hysterical voiceover of comedy genius Rob Beckett.

The series returns every weeknight from Monday 28th November in its new slot of 10pm on E4.
