Celebs Go Dating’s return date revealed as fresh batch of stars kick off search for love in matter of weeks

Channel 4 has announced a return date for Celebs Go Dating.

The first episode of the 2024 series will air on E4 on Monday, August 19. The release date teaser promises plenty of drama.

The new series will air every week at the same time from Monday to Thursday.

A trailer was shared on the show’s official Instagram account with the caption: “IT’S BACK!! New celebrities, new dates, new friendships and LOTS of drama!”

Filming for the new series of Celebs Go Dating has wrapped and fans are eagerly awaiting Lauryn Goodman’s lead role.

Lauryn will appear on the show alongside Love Island’s Chris Taylor, Coronation Street’s Helen Flangan, singer Jamelia, Gogglebox star Stephen Lustig-Webb, Made In Chelsea’s Tristan Phipps and Married At First Sight’s Ella Morgan.

The 33-year-old influencer, who lost her court case against the father of her children Kyle Walker on Tuesday, is among the stars taking part in the E4 show.

Dating expert Anna Williamson shared a photo of herself with her co-stars Paul Carrick Brunson, Tom Read Wilson and Dr Tara Suwinyattichaiporn as they celebrated the end of filming.

Alongside the snaps, Anna wrote: ‘AND… IT’S HERE!!!! 10 weeks of fun, filming and flirting (with the celebrities, not us!) let me tell you, working on a TV show where everyone is so damn brilliant, kind and professional is a gift.

‘Our amazing crew, the phenomenal cast who gave us more than we could ever have asked for, our team of talented executives and directors.

“But above all, these 3 are the ones I look forward to every day when I go to work and sit next to these guys, that’s all. Inspiring, talented, my confidants professionally and personally and my dear friends. We are a team.”

This came after Lauryn was criticised by her Manchester City ex for her ‘insatiable greed’ after a judge ruled in his favour.

Kyle added that Lauryn used him as an “open checkbook” and “repeatedly threatened him to get what she wanted.”

But in a statement to the Mirror, Lauryn insisted that throughout the case she had only her two young children in mind.

“These have been difficult and stressful procedures that I had hoped would not be necessary. This was all about the children and providing for their future,” she said.

‘I am a dedicated single mother and although my children will never have what their half-siblings have, I have done my best for my children and always will, no matter what.

‘Thanks to my legal team and the judge’s decision, my children’s childhood is secure and I can now focus on building a solid future for them, ensuring the time when the orphanage is returned to their father’s hands.

‘I’m mostly looking forward to enjoying every moment with my children and moving forward with our lives together.’

Kyle, who has four children with wife Annie Kilner, was embroiled in a paternity scandal earlier this year when it emerged he had fathered a second child with influencer and model Lauryn.

The footballer was dramatically revealed as the father of Lauryn’s second child, a girl, four years after they welcomed a son, Kairo.

His 32-year-old wife Annie threw him out of their £3.5million Cheshire mansion, and Kyle and Lauryn have since given revealing interviews to newspapers.

But restrictions on reporting the extraordinary case have now been lifted, revealing the staggering details and staggering sums involved.

A spokeswoman for Kyle told MailOnline: ‘This ruling speaks for itself and exposes Lauryn Goodman’s insatiable greed and ruthless pursuit of money.

The judge made it clear: She used Kyle like an open checkbook and threatened him repeatedly to get what she wanted.

‘She then organized a media campaign to intrude in an unacceptable and unlawful manner on the privacy of Kyle, Annie and their young family.

‘During each trial, the judge found Kyle to have taken a fair and generous position. These proceedings were never necessary.

‘Kyle’s offer should have been accepted months ago and would have eliminated the need for additional stress for everyone involved.

“In light of this ruling and the truths it makes public, my client and his family now ask that the media fully respect their right to a private life as they take their next steps.”

Celebs Go Dating will air on E4 from August 19.
