The show, which airs on E4 at 9pm, is famous for plucking celebrities from the four corners of the reality TV universe, and the 2020 line-up is seriously good!

Check out the Celebs Go Dating 2020 line-up below:

Amy Hart

Will Amy Hart be able to find her perfect man and take her dating experience to the next level after getting her heart broken by Love Island co-star Curtis Pritchard?

Dean Gaffney

Unlucky in love Dean Gaffney is hoping to find the woman of his dreams. After splitting from his girlfriend just a few months ago, could Dean find 'the one'?

Malique Thompson-Dwyer

Hollyoaks actor Malique Thompson-Dwyer appeared on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! last year, so he's not stranger to reality TV. But will his dates be similar to a Bushtucker trials?

Olivia Bentley

Made In Chelsea party girl Olivia Bentley is known for her direct and no nonsense attitude but viewers will know she falls in love quite easily. This is the perfect casting.

Alison Hammond

This Morning star Alison Hammond was a late addition to the 2020 line-up, but the star is now on the hunt for love after putting her career first for the last few years.

Joshua Ritchie

Following his split from former Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby, Joshua Ritchie will return to the Celebs Go Dating agency, but this time on his own!

Charlotte Dawson and Matthew Sarsfield

In January it was announced that Charlotte Dawson and her boyfriend Matthew Sarsfield had joined the agency, for couple's counselling.

TOWIE's Amy Childs and James Lock will both be hoping dating agents Anna Williamson and Paul Carrick Brunson can find them lasting love in 2020, as will former EastEnders actor Dean Gaffney.

Who's been in Celebs Go Dating before?

Celebs Go Dating was a smash as soon as Charlotte Crosby, Stephanie Pratt and Joey Essex careered into the agency in 2016, looking for love with members of the public.

And though they didn't exactly sail away into the sunset – Charlotte's dates were major flops and Joey and Stephanie embarked on their own whirlwind romance that lasted only three months – the blueprint was laid down and we've been HOOKED ever since.

Last season, in early 2019, was a veritable hoot – especially when two ex's with a volatile history turned up!

The first names confirmed for the show were Kerry Katona (of Atomic Kitten fame), Chelsee Healey from Hollyoaks and TOWIE's Pete Wicks.

There was also unlucky-in-Love Island's Georgia Steel, David Potts from Ibiza Weekender and returning dater Sam Thompson.

After the initial announcement it was confirmed that Love Island's Jack Fowler and Pete's ex girlfriend, fellow TOWIE star Megan McKenna, would be joining the line-up.

Pete and Megan proved everybody wrong by being the picture of mature adults and supporting each other through their dating adventure, but that didn't meant their weren't LOADS of fireworks throughout the series.

Who are the new Celebs Go Dating experts?

Joining Paul Carrick Brunson, who made his CGD debut in season five, Anna Williamson took the reigns from Nadia Essex last season. She began her presenting career on CBBC, and has experience as a journalist and life coach, too.

“When Paul delivers a stern word you still fall in love with him,” Anna told Closer online.

“I come from a caring place as a life coach, but I’m not afraid to call someone out when I feel like their behavior is not appropriate and they’re not being genuine. I’m not afraid of being the bad cop to Paul’s good cop, necessarily."
