Fans don't have long to wait at all until they can witness all the dating drama unfold, with the series kicking off on Monday August 11th at 9pm on E4.

Unlike former series, the celebs won't be kicking off their journey in London. In fact, they'll be heading over to Ibiza, staying in a luxurious villa. Will the new location turn up the heat? Whilst the celebs were out filming a few months back, it was rumoured that Olivia and Louis had formed a connection with each other - breaking one of the agencies major rules. But how will things pan out?

Christine McGuinness also headed off to Ibiza to join the rest of the cast following her split with Take Me Out host Paddy. However, it was revealed halfway into filming that she had decided the process wasn't for her.

The mother of two said in her statement: "I joined Celebs Go Dating with great intentions but have realised that dating on a public platform and the attention that brings is just too soon for me. They've said the door is always open for me which I'm so grateful but for now I'm returning home to my family."

Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, sexpert Dr Tara said on her departure: “As one of the dating experts on the show, I completely respect Christine’s decision to step away at this time," she said.

"It takes real self awareness and strength to recognise your emotional boundaries, especially in such a unique and public setting. We support her wholeheartedly and wish her continued healing, happiness, and love on her terms.”

Elsewhere, Dr Tara gave us an insight into what we can expect during the new series. Former Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona joins the agency after announcing herheartbreaking split with ex-fiancé Ryan Mahoney.

"Lovely Kerry has an amazing story. People will really get to hear what has been happening since she last joined the agency. A lot has happened since she last joined," Dr Tara told the Mirror.

"She really is able to use our agency as a platform to tell us what truly happened and her narrative. She has had a very traumatic life but is in a very good place now to move forward with romance and dating."
