Channel 4 has unveiled exciting developments for its popular celebrity dating show, Celebs Go Dating, as it prepares to launch its 15th series later this year. The broadcaster has announced a fresh lineup of famous singles seeking romantic guidance, alongside a call for members of the public to apply for dates with these celebrities.
Star-Studded Lineup Revealed for New Series
The 2026 series will feature a diverse cast of well-known personalities looking to improve their love lives. Confirmed participants include musician Professor Green, former rugby star James Haskell, television personality Coleen Nolan, Married At First Sight Australia's Lucinda Light, Love Island alumna Gabby Allen, and Celebrity Big Brother winner David Potts.
Channel 4 has also teased an additional cast member who will join the show later in the series, describing this mystery participant as bringing "a different kind of ball game to the agency." Their identity remains under wraps for now, adding an element of anticipation for viewers.
Expert Guidance Returns
The celebrities will receive professional support from the show's established team of relationship experts. Therapist Anna Williamson, dating and relationship specialist Paul C Brunson, and sexual communication expert Dr Tara Suwinyattichaiporn will all return to offer their guidance.
Fan-favourite receptionist Tom Read Wilson is also set to reprise his role following his appearance on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in 2025, where he finished as runner-up to YouTuber Angry Ginge.
Public Invited to Date Celebrities
In a significant development following the cast announcement, Channel 4 has revealed they are now seeking single members of the public interested in dating this year's celebrity participants. The official casting call invites applications through the Celebs Go Dating website, promising successful candidates could be on a date with one of the stars within weeks.
The casting announcement specifically mentions all six confirmed celebrities by name, asking potential applicants: "Would you like to go on a date with Professor Green, Coleen Nolan, James Haskell, Lucinda Light, Gabby Allen or David Potts?"
While the website hasn't yet been updated with Series 15 information at the time of writing, interested parties are encouraged to monitor the site for updates and application details.
Returning Participant Expresses Excitement
David Potts, who previously appeared on Celebs Go Dating nearly a decade ago, shared his enthusiasm about returning to the programme. He stated: "I am so excited to be rejoining the agency again 8 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."
The show aims to help celebrities overcome problematic dating patterns and establish genuine romantic connections through structured dates and expert intervention.
Broadcast Details Pending
Channel 4 has not yet announced a specific release date for Celebs Go Dating Series 15. In the meantime, fans can catch up on previous seasons through the broadcaster's online streaming service, which hosts archives of the popular reality programme.
The series continues Channel 4's tradition of blending celebrity culture with relationship programming, offering both entertainment and insights into modern dating dynamics for its audience.
