Channel 4 Celebs Go Dating: Love Island's Laura Anderson shares behind-the-scenes snaps from filming

The new season of Celebs Go Dating is currently filming in London, and Laura Anderson has given fans a sneak peek at what is in store.

The premise of the show consists of single celebrities joining an exclusive dating agency in a bid to find true love. Matchmakers pair them with non-celebrity partners and the cameras capture every romantic and cringe-filled moment.

Love Island alumni Laura signed up for the show after splitting up with her long-time boyfriend Dane Bowers, and moving from Dubai back to the UK. The Scots reality star will be joined by Love Island 2021 winner Liam Reardon, TOWIE star Pete Wicks and The Apprentice's aspiring businessman Navid Sole.

Joining the rest of the stars, there is Cecilie Fjellhøy of Tinder Swindler fame, Geordie Shore's Bethan Kershaw, Simon Cowell's ex-girlfriend and singer Sinitta and Hollyoaks actor Gary Lucy. The slew of celebrities are on the look-out for some ordinary people to find love with, with the help of relationship experts Anna Williamson and Paul Carrick Brunson.

Gushing over her castmates, Laura shared some behind-the-scenes snaps from the Channel 4 reality show with the caption: "@celebsgodating I Love you #bts ". In the first snap, fans can see Laura, Pete and Gary sitting behind a desk where not everyone looks happy to be there.

Laura is pulling the peace sign with her hands, and beaming in a huge smile as Pete sits next to her looking grumpy with his arms crossed. Another photo sees the celebrities on a ride at Adventure Land in Essex where the group all have mixed expressions of fear or excitement.

Anna Williamson posted an image with a number of cameras at Adventure Island, with a caption reading: “How many cameras does it take to film a Celebs Go Dating away day?"

The dating expert also told the Daily Star fans can expect the "best series yet" as viewers prepare to see the celebrities dating disasters back on screens in a few weeks. She added: "We say every year but this series, I really do feel it's going to be one of our best yet.

"We're halfway through recording the series at the moment and it's been as always, just eye-opening.

"There's tears, tantrums, there's a lot of learning and there's a lot of getting things wrong with our celebrities but it's definitely shaping up to be you know, one heck of a brilliant series."
