Celebs Go Dating is set to air an 'outrageous' first date that left one contestant puzzled. The E4 dating show will be back on our screens next Monday (May 4th), with a fresh batch of celebrities placing their love lives into the hands of experts. Relationship guru Paul C. Brunson is once again on the advice panel, alongside therapist Anna Williamson and sexual communication specialist Dr.
Tara Suwinyattichaiporn. They will welcome MAFS bride Lucinda Light, rugby star James Haskell, Loose Women's Coleen Nolan , Love Island alum Gabby Allen , rapper Professor Green, content creator PK Humble and TV personality David Potts to the exclusive dating agency. With just days left until the new series, former islander Gabby has teased a bizarre first date that left her baffled.
Speaking to Channel 4 , she explained: "I cannot wait for the first episode to come out when my first date walks into the bar holding a goldfish and I was like, 'Is this actually happening to me right now?' "I won't spoil it because people need to watch it, but he said some outrageous stuff, which left me literally like, I can't believe that this is happening. It was outrageous in a way I think he was trying to flirt with me." Teasing the episode even more, Gabby added: "Some of the stuff he was saying. I was like, 'This is doing the absolute opposite." But she still praised her date, adding: "But you know what, I have to give it to him, he was absolutely hilarious and his goldfish broke the ice! "He definitely settled me into the agency.
I think the agents have done really well because all the guys that I've met have been lovely and I feel like they will make great partners for different people. It's just about finding who's right for you." The 34-year-old reality star is no stranger to finding love on TV, having appeared on Love Island , Love Island: All Stars and Love Island Games.
Although she thrived on the ITV shows, Gabby has confessed that Celebs Go Dating has been a more "intimate" journey. Celebs Go Dating starts on E4 next Monday, May 4 at 9pm
