Leeds DJ Tom Zanetti reduced the Celebs Go Dating agents to tears when discussing his girlfriend’s tragic death.
The star, 31, is currently appearing on the new reality TV show Celebs Go Dating: The Mansion. Tom, who runs Leeds nightclub Dollhouse and is one of many famous Leeds United supporters, is looking for love in the £30m mansion.
Our colleagues at the Mirror report, during filming, he opened up with the programme’s relationship agents about his tragic past. In 2010, Tom's girlfriend, Elizabeth Rose Pickavance, was returning from work in Manchester when she lost control of her car on the M62 near Gildersome.
The vehicle crashed into a tree and she later died in hospital - aged just 20.

She had been living with the DJ within Belle Isle at the time of the crash.
Tom has a son from a previous relationship, Deaconn, who was born in 2006.
Celebs Go Dating agent Paul Brunson said some of the scenes with Tom were emotional to film.
"Tom and I didn’t bond straight away, but he turned out to be one of the sweetest celebs we've ever had,” Paul told The Sun.
"He truly cared about the wellbeing of everyone. And then last but not least is that he's gone through such a tough life.
"And, that will obviously come out in the series and it's going to be emotional for everyone.
"I think it was the first time I've seen Anna (Williamson) really cry, in the agency was when Tom was talking about his past."
It sounds like viewers have emotional scenes on the horizon. The series started on E4 last night.
