Celebs Go Dating: What did Anna Williamson say?

When asked who she would love to see on the E4 dating show, the 39 year old admitted soap stars have proven to be a hit.

She exclusively told ED!: “Anyone who is authentic and wants to do the show for the right reasons.

Maybe Tiffany from EastEnders could be a really good shout.

“We’ve particularly enjoyed working with Kimberly Hart-Simpson this series, so to have another soap star would be great.

“Maybe Tiffany [Maisie] from EastEnders could be a really good shout. They do tend to be quite authentic the actors.”

In addition, she shared: “Wayne Lineker does start to unpack his past love life.

“He’s had a complicated love life and we get to the root cause of why he now tends to favour younger women, because he didn’t always.”

Anna added: “We definitely make progress with Wayne, but I will say he was probably our most tricky and stubborn clients. I do think the ultimate test will be when his clubs reopen.”

Anna’s view on reality dating shows

The relationship guru knows it takes a lot for celebs to open up on camera.

However, she admitted viewers should never take it too seriously.

When asked whether TV is the right place for celebs to find love, she explained: “I think being authentic and vulnerable is highly important. Fundamentally, you need to do that when you come into the dating world.

“Putting yourself on TV is always going to be a gamble because you can’t control how people will interpret you. There’s absolutely a place for reality TV and dating shows – but take it with a pinch of salt.”

And what support does CGD give to their stars?

She continued: “We have every single one of our contestants back – and that goes for the celebrities and non celebrities. We support them and they have our full duty of care.”
