New series of Celebs Go Dating 'to have throuple twist'
Filming for the 2026 series of E4's Celebs Go Dating started in January.
The new series of Celebs Go Dating will reportedly feature a throuple twist.
It has been claimed that a couple will get with a man or woman as part of the saucy shake-up in the upcoming 10th anniversary series of the E4 matchmaking show.
A show insider told The Sun newspaper: "The man and woman are very much up for forming a throuple, and they don’t seem to mind whether it’s with another man or another woman.
"In fact, they seem very relaxed about the prospect of some kind of romance with any of the celebs present.
"Though it might not be an option the celebrities are expecting, they are expected to be open-minded when they approach the process.
"And there is at least one participant who shows an interest in the forming a ménage à trois…but who it is and how it pans out is being kept closely under wraps."
Gabby Allen, 34, David Potts, 32, Coleen Nolan, 61, Professor Green, 42, James Haskell, 40, and Lucinda Light, 45, started filming the new series of Celebs Go Dating in January.
They are hoping to find their perfect match with the help of the programme's dating agents, Paul Carrick Brunson, 51, Anna Williamson, 44, and 37-year-old Dr. Tara Suwinyattichaiporn.
Reality TV star Gabby is hoping to find her Mr. Right months after she and her 29-year-old ex-boyfriend, Casey O’Gorman - whom she split from in May 2025, as it was not working out, three months after they won Love Island: All Stars series two.
The star said: "From taking on the Celebrity SAS course to heading into the dating battlefield – I can’t wait to join the agency!
"I’m ready to try something new, enjoy the experience and hopefully meet someone along the way."
Celebrity Big Brother 2024 winner David took part in Celebs Go Dating back in 2019, and although he admits he is "really picky" when it comes to men, the TV personality hopes it will be second time lucky.
The Ibiza Weekender alum - who crushes on actors Channing Tatum, 45, and 38-year-old Zac Efron - said: "I am so excited to be rejoining the agency again eight years later.
"I feel like I’ve grown a lot as a person, and I’m so excited to go into it all guns a blazin!
"Agents, it’s time to find me a husband!"
Meanwhile, Loose Women panellist Coleen is hoping to strike up yet another romance.
It comes following two failed marriages - EastEnders star Shane Richie (1990-1999) due to allegations of his cheating, and guitarist Ray Fensome (2007–2018), because of "too much dividing" - and a recent split from her boyfriend, supermarket logistics manager Michael Jones.
Coleen - who broke up with Michael after three years together in 2024, citing her schedule and responsibilities on her six-acre farm in Dilhorne, Staffordshire - said: "I am so excited to be joining the agency.
"I really would love to meet someone, so I’m hoping the agents will be able to help me with that because so far, I’ve not been very good at it myself.
"So, fingers crossed for me!"
The Nolans singer has grown-up sons, Shane Jr., 37, and Jake Roche, 33, with Shane Richie, 62, and daughter Ciara, 25, from her marriage to Ray.
Rapper Professor Green - real name Stephen Manderson - never thought he would be single at age 42, and wants to change that, following his marriage to Made In Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh, 36 (2013-2016), and his split from ex-fiancee, actress Karima McAdams, 41, in early 2024.
Professor Green - who has a son called Slimane, four, with Karima - said: "I’m 42 and single, not something I ever thought I’d be.
"But then there were times when I didn’t think I’d be 42 and alive so onwards and….onwards."
Elsewhere, former England rugby union player James wants to find happiness following his and 38-year-old wife, TV personality Chloe Madeley's split in 2023 after five years of marriage.
The sportsman - of whom Chloe blamed his busy schedule and "thriving in chaos" for tearing apart their marriage - said: "I’m buzzing to be joining the agency. I’m at a stage in my life where I have a clear sense of who I am and what I want, which feels great."
James - who has a three-year-old daughter called Bodhi with Chloe - added: "I’m looking forward to meeting amazing people, having some fun, and hopefully creating something meaningful through the experience.
"Either way, I’m sure it’ll be a good laugh, and I’ll learn a lot along the way."
Finally, Married at First Sight Australia 2024 star Lucinda cannot wait to go on some dates, after her TV marriage to her show husband Tim Smith, 52, did not work out, and they left the process.
Lucinda said: "I’m outrageously excited for this wild journey into dating these hunky UK men!
"I’m ready to try something different, I’ve given the Aussie blokes a go, and I’m ready for the Northern Hemisphere schmoozing!"
