Your ultimate guide to Celebs Go Dating series 14
The popular dating show is back
Last updated 12th Aug 2025
After attempting to help the likes of Helen Flanagan, Ella Morgan and Chris Taylor find love last year, the Celebs Go Dating agency has opened its doors once more this year, with some brand new celebs signing up!
Rebecca Kenny-Smith, Executive Producer and Creative Director, Objective Entertainment said: “We’re so excited to be bringing another series of Celebs Go Dating to Channel 4. The show’s continued success is a real testament to the strength of the brand and the love viewers have for it. For the first time in CGD history, we’ll be taking our celebs abroad right at the start of the series. With such a brilliant line-up this year, we can’t wait to reveal what’s in store as they embark on their mission to find love!”
With the show airing every Monday-Thursday, here's everything you need to know about the 14th series.
When does it start?
The new series kicked off on Monday 14th August at 9pm.
The announcement was made on social media, with the caption: 'WE’VE GOT A DATE! 🚨 …and so do these celebs! 💘 Tears, tantrums and a whole lotta flirting - it’s got drama written all over it 🫢 #CelebsGoDating starts Monday the 11th of August on @e4grams 🫶 Don’t stand us up! 👀✨'.
When is it on TV?
The series airs at 9pm Monday-Thursday on E4.
Which celebs are taking part?
Love Island star Olivia Hawkins, S Club 7 singer Jon Lee, Too Hot To Handle's Louis Russell and The Chase's Mark ‘The Beast’ Labbett have signed up, with Kerry Katona also making a return to the agency after failing to find love last time.
Actress Donna Preston and Made In Chelsea star Sam Prince have also now joined the cast.
On her return to the agency Kerry Katona said: “I’m so excited to be back at the agency. At the moment, I am just learning who I am. I always seem to change my whole persona for whoever I am with for their needs instead of prioritising my own. I can’t wait to see Anna and Paul again and get to meet Dr Tara, and see what they have in store for me.”
Too Hot To Handle Star Louis Russell said: “I'm really excited to join the agency - it feels like a fresh start for me in dating. I’m ready to move away from hookups and focus on finding a real partner."
Love Island star Liv Hawkins said: “I’m excited to be joining the agency. I’ve been a fan of the show for a long time. It will be nice for the public to see a more vulnerable, open side to me.”
S Club 7 Star Jon Lee said: “I’m absolutely rubbish at dating. My dating life is very bleak. So, I’m happy to put my trust into the agent’s professional hands. Fingers crossed we have a good time!”
On his chase for true love Mark ‘The Beast’ Labbett said: “I’m a bit nervous about doing this because it is outside my comfort zone but, at the same time, it’s an opportunity to do something I wouldn’t normally do and let’s face it, it’s a chance to meet and date interesting women, what more could I want?”
Christine McGuinness was on the initial line-up, but she announced she'd quit during filming.
Why did she quit?
Just days into filming for the new series, Christine took to Instagram to reveal she's decided to quit the show.
She wrote: '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'. (sic)
What will happen on the new series?
Series 14 will include an exciting twist which sees the celebs and their dates whisked away on an overseas adventure to hot and sunny Ibiza during the first week.
E4 say: 'Away from the pressures of fame, family, and everyday responsibilities, they'll be staying together in a glamorous villa—no distractions, no excuses, just time to focus on themselves and make genuine connections. But can a holiday romance turn into something real? Will sparks fly under the sun, or will paradise prove to be anything but smooth sailing?'
What channel is it on?
Just like past series, the 14th series airs on E4.
