Love Island's Chris Taylor, former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan, and Gogglebox's Stephen Lustig-Webb are gearing up for a stint on Celebs Go Dating. Joining them will be Married At First Sight UK participant Ella Morgan, chart-topping artist Jamelia, and Made In Chelsea favourite Tristan Phipps, as reported by The Sun.

Rebecca Kenny-Smith from Lime Pictures shared her excitement: "We are thrilled to announce another series commission of Celebs Go Dating with Channel 4. The success of CGD as a brand is not to be ignored, and for us to see such huge success in such a competitive market is great testament to the brand and its loyal fans.."

She added that the new series would push celebrities like never before: "Series 13 is going to be the biggest test yet for the celebs, as we set out to ramp up the dates by putting celebrities through their paces as they get closer to finding love."

Channel 4's Genna Gibson also expressed enthusiasm: "Celebs Go Dating is an absolute streaming favourite amongst our young audiences and I'm so looking forward to them seeing a whole bunch of new lovelorn celebs getting struck into the world of dating in true Celebs Go Dating style. Our 13th series is set to be a one not to miss!"

Stephen and his husband Daniel Lustig-Webb, both hairdressers who left the Channel 4 reality series together in 2023, surprised their followers with the announcement of their divorce after acknowledging they had "grown apart". Stephen has had a tough time recently, having to bow out of Dancing On Ice due to a severe injury during training. Now, he's ready to return to the small screen and possibly find a new romantic partner on the E4 series.

An insider revealed to The Sun: "Stephen is set to sign up for Celebs Go Dating after successful advanced talks with E4 producers. Bosses were really keen to get him as soon as they heard he and Stephen had split as they know viewers will invest in his path to finding love again, and he's already a big favourite with Channel 4 viewers after years on Gogglebox.

"Stephen is also really keen to have some fun again after a difficult few months, and he's also raring to get back on TV after having to step down from Dancing on Ice due to injury. He was gutted when that fell through, but he feels excited to take on a new project. He is realistic that he may not find Mr Right, but he is up for a laugh on the dating scene."
