Read more about the celebs below.
Chloe Ferry
Chloe, 25, is famous from her appearance on Geordie Shore. She also appeared in the virtual series of Celebs Go Dating earlier this year.
The bisexual reality TV star also took part in the nineteenth series of Celebrity Big Brother in 2017.
In the trailer, Chloe says: “I am returning to the Agency because I’m as single as [bleep].
“My 2020 year has been absolutely crap. I haven’t dated anyone and I haven’t had sex in one full year.
“I am so excited for the house, I just hope to God I am not living with a diva. Because I can not stand divas.”
Curtis Pritchard
Curtis, 24, found fame on Love Island where he coupled with Amy Hart, before brutally moving on with Maura Higgins.
The ballroom and Latin dancer also has a famous brother in the form of the fabulously coiffured AJ Pritchard – who is currently not getting enough airtime on I’m A Celebrity…
The Greatest Dancer star Curtis says of his decision to take part in Celebs Go Dating: “I’ve joined the Dating Agency because I’m a hopeless dater.
“I’ve never really done dating or anything, so this is a time to experience dating.
“Hopefully the Agents can find someone who I’m going to fall in love with, marry, have kids. Who knows? Hopefully!”
Tom Zanetti
Tom describes himself as a “DJ, producer and international party starter”.
He says: “The last time I was in love… Oohh… Sticky subject!
“If I like a girl, she knows she’s the only girl. She’s mine and she knows it, and I’m hers. I pull all the stops out.
“I’ve had a plane fly over a girl’s house before, with her name on the back of it.
“I’ve had sex in a helicopter, I’ve had sex on jet-skis…”
Sophie Hermann
Made in Chelsea star Sophie says she doesn’t know why she’s still single.
She explains: “I’m very picky and I have no filter, so it gets me into trouble sometimes.
“I hope the Agency is going to help me find love, sweet love!”
She reveals she’s “never used dating apps and is old school” before adding: “Plus I think I am too famous for that.”
Wayne Lineker
Wayne, the brother of football pundit Gary Lineker, is the oldest contestant at 58 and has been single for two years.
The Leicester-born entrepreneur, of Lineker’s Bar fame, owns a chain of beach clubs, night clubs and restaurants.
He has four children by three different mothers and has been married twice, divorced twice, and unsuccessfully engaged another two times.
That’s a lot of baggage ladies!
Wayne, who has appeared on TOWIE, tells us: “I think the reason I’m still single is because it’s so difficult to have a relationship with someone like me…
“I’m surrounded by a thousand girls in bikinis everyday. Tough.
“I decided to write my criteria and post it on Instagram, and all those criteria were taken from previous experiences in past relationships.
“The reaction from the post was quite remarkable, and made it clear I wouldn’t get a girlfriend.”
In the post, Wayne stated that future candidates should be “intelligent but not boring”, have “no baggage” and not as old as he is “as that would look weird”.
Good luck Wayne, you’re going to need it!
Karim Zeroual
Karim, 26, is an actor and presenter, best know for his work on CBeebies.
In 2019, he competed in the seventeenth series of Strictly Come Dancing, partnered with Welsh professional dancer Amy Dowden.
He says: “I am single because I haven’t met the woman for me just yet.
“I bring fun, romance, chivalry and a whole lot of swag.
“I’m not a dating app kind of guy; it’s not a game for me. This is my heart that I’m giving to you girls.
“There’s definitely a side to me that no one has seen – it’s cheeky, it’s fun, it’s gentlemanly, but a little bit spicy.”
Karim came out of a long-term relationship earlier this year.
Kimberly Hart-Simpson
Actress Kimberly, 33, played Nicky Wheatley in Coronation Street.
She says she has joined the Agency because: “I live with my mum and I’m scared of hairy peaches.
“I don’t know why I’m single so I need help.”
She added she’s most excited about going into the house because she hopes “people are going to cook for her because I’m a really bad cook”.
And despite there being a swimming pool in the mansion, Kimberly can’t swim!
Bisexual Kimberly describes her deal-breakers as eating with your mouth open and blowing your nose in front of her.
You have been warned!
