00:00Tonight!
00:01Hello!
00:03James gets grilled.
00:04Was there an affair?
00:07Gabby gets a mosh.
00:09What do you think of yourself?
00:12And David gets stuck.
00:14Night, night, night, night, night.
00:17Plus, it's the first mixer of the series.
00:20How old is everyone?
00:2221.
00:23Liar.
00:24As our celebs?
00:26Everyone's so young.
00:27Go!
00:27I could flex my chest.
00:29I need to lie down now.
00:31Dating!
00:32This is hell.
00:44Welcome to Celebs Go Dating,
00:46the only place dedicated to helping romantically challenged celebrities
00:50cop off with members of the public.
00:53Ah, yes, they have come through the photographs.
00:56It's a new day at the agency where Tom snuck onto Anna's laptop
01:00to access some pretty x-ray material by the sounds of things.
01:04Oh, yes, the top view.
01:07That's majestic.
01:09Sounds like he's logged onto P-Dog's OnlyFans page.
01:12Wait till you see the bottom view, Tommy boy.
01:14Cavernous.
01:15And we can always add candles, can't we?
01:16You'd have to ask him first, you kinky sod.
01:19Speaking of which, here comes our resident sexpert, Dr Tara.
01:23And what happens is that everybody's so chummy by the middle of the evening
01:27that you feel like you've known them for eons.
01:30Well, that sounds lovely.
01:31Sort of flappery.
01:32Oh, hi, babe.
01:34Flappery's fine.
01:35No, I think that sounds sublime.
01:37Tom, you can't just ignore her.
01:39She's a doctor.
01:41Luckily, these two have arrived.
01:42Ooh, with brass monkeys.
01:45Brass monkeys?
01:46It's slang, it's cold enough out there
01:48to freeze the bollocks off a brass monkey.
01:51Pretty weird, I'll give you that.
01:52No, no, it'll be absolutely lovely.
01:54Right, shall we?
01:56Weird knocking to go into your own office.
01:58Easy peasy.
01:59And then the same way home.
02:00Oh!
02:01Hello, hello.
02:02Double trouble.
02:03That's a surprise.
02:04All right.
02:05Bye, bye.
02:06He's busy.
02:07He's so busy.
02:08I've just been firming up with them all.
02:09This is for the mixer.
02:11Yes.
02:11That's right.
02:12It's nearly first mixer time, baby.
02:14I'd better get down,
02:15because we've got James, David and Gabby in today.
02:18T, you're working too hard.
02:19Too hard.
02:21Work hard, let's face it.
02:22He does naffle, bit of cleaning and then a chat.
02:25See you soon.
02:26But it's nearly there.
02:27Very, very, very nearly there.
02:29Exciting.
02:31Grazy.
02:32Jesus, he got downstairs quickly.
02:34I reckon trousers down, slide down a banister.
02:36And it's a good job too,
02:37because the first celeb of the day is on his way.
02:40Looking like a sexy Battenberg,
02:43it's David Potts.
02:44And just like Battenberg,
02:45he's very sweet,
02:46but always goes down well.
02:48Gobble, gobble.
02:49Hello, celebrity dating agency.
02:51Hi, Tom, it's David.
02:53David coming due.
02:56Who's David coming due?
02:57No bro boys, no new friends.
02:59I'm like what you're giving me my steps.
03:01Ain't no laugh, ain't no shade.
03:03No laugh, no laugh, no laugh.
03:04Oh, hello, my darling boy.
03:08Oh, no.
03:09Oh, look.
03:10Hello.
03:12You smell gorgeous.
03:14Oh, thank you.
03:15It's something me and very old ladies wear.
03:17Lavender and the look of fear
03:19that death is just round the corner.
03:20Oh, it's gorgeous.
03:21It's a lost scent actually.
03:23You have to go down the sort of perfume equivalent
03:25of the black web to get it.
03:27Oh, okay.
03:28It's called Amazon, Tom.
03:29It's so dramatic.
03:30Oh, you're here.
03:32My entreaties to the gods have been answered.
03:35Was you requesting me back?
03:37Oh, I was.
03:38Was I at the top of the list?
03:39Yep, just after Joey Essex, Pete Wick, Charlotte Dawson,
03:42Sam Thompson, Chloe Simms and Kerry Katona.
03:44Yep, top of the list.
03:45You know, I can tell a lot has happened to you in the interim.
03:48Yeah.
03:49In the interim, the outer rim, whichever rim really.
03:52Are you excited about having your first consultation?
03:55Yes, I am.
03:56And obviously I've never had advice from Dr Tara.
03:59Would you like to finger her volume to get flavour?
04:02I don't think he's into her genre, to be honest, Tom.
04:05Oh, okay, your book.
04:07Yes, the internet's resident sexpert.
04:12Yes, that's what she is.
04:13How do you like it?
04:15Available at all good bookshops and some shit porn shops.
04:17There's nothing she doesn't know.
04:20She can be endlessly pumped and the well never run astray.
04:24My kind of lady.
04:28Now, here's someone else who's used to endlessly pump him.
04:31Endlessly pumping out some serious tunes, that is.
04:34It's Professor Green, a.k.a. Steven, with a PH,
04:38on his way to his first ever meet-up.
04:40Definitely not a date.
04:41To be honest, I don't know if I'm even ready to date,
04:44but there's more pressure than needs to be on it by saying it's a date.
04:47Meeting? What works for you?
04:48Meet-up? A drink?
04:51I don't know.
04:52How about Meet-up?
04:53But does that feel more comfortable for you?
04:55Yeah.
04:55Perfect, because that really is all it is.
04:58Is it a silly question?
04:59Is this a nerve-wracking prospect?
05:03Um, yeah.
05:05This is the first time I've ever met anyone or had a situation like this.
05:10You've got this, big guy.
05:12Stop talking like a virgin.
05:13You're a rapper.
05:14Having the gift of the gab's part of the job.
05:16Yeah, I was like, what do people say when they do this stuff?
05:18Oh, God.
05:19I know very little about Viv apart from she promised incredible conversation.
05:25Um, I gather she likes music given she's a DJ.
05:29I want to know what her guilty pleasures are.
05:31I often think guilty pleasures shouldn't even be called guilty pleasures.
05:34You've clearly never been to one of my hide-the-grapefruit parties.
05:43Back at HQ, agency's second-timer DP is heading in to see Dr T and PCB.
05:49Watch out for the angle on that mirror, David.
05:51In those shorts, you might see a celeb Todger before 12pm.
05:55David Potts.
05:56Potts and pans.
05:57Yes, yes.
05:59Classic Dr 2.
06:01At the dinner party, the agents revealed David's first date would be with Mark.
06:05Oh, my God!
06:07He has jacked me!
06:10Oh, my God, I need to chill out, but what the fuck?
06:14Oh, my God, this is love!
06:17I mean, he has a big personality.
06:20No shit.
06:21I feel like he had a bigger personality the last time he was at the agency.
06:25Really?
06:26Yeah.
06:26I can't help.
06:27What I'm most curious about is what has changed to allow him to be a little bit more reserved.
06:35Hello!
06:37Yeah, much more reserved.
06:40Are you not wearing any bottoms?
06:42I've got nothing on.
06:44Oh, wow.
06:46You're back, you're back.
06:46I'm back, baby.
06:48You're back.
06:48I wish that it was in the memo that we're not wearing pants today.
06:52You know what, David? I've never seen you in pants before.
06:54Well, I hope he's wearing pants now because he's sitting on a crane couch.
06:58I had him on at the dinner party.
07:01Oh, I didn't look below the table.
07:02I should have just gone like, ah, I had pants on.
07:06David, are you going to show up differently this time than you were previously at the agency?
07:11Wear some trousers for a start.
07:12I mean, I definitely took it semi-serious last time, but...
07:18Semi.
07:19Babes, if anything I know about a semi is it doesn't work.
07:24In my experience, whack an elastic band on the bass, act confident, you'll be all right.
07:28I think this time around in the agency is very different for me.
07:32Last time I was here, my guard was very much up.
07:35Whereas this time, I'm so open because I really want to make a go of this.
07:39You had not had, though, a relationship prior to your time last at the agency.
07:46So have you had one since?
07:48Nope.
07:49For the last seven years.
07:51For the last 32, love.
07:54What do you think it is that you're missing by not being in a relationship?
07:58Trousers.
07:59Like, watching my mum and dad, my grandma, and then when my granddad was alive.
08:04Like, them together.
08:05Like, I want that.
08:09Like, I'm very happy with my life, but there is definitely that part missing.
08:16It'd just be nice to, like, debrief with someone at the end of the day.
08:19Do you know what I mean?
08:21You know, like, all that stuff that couples do?
08:25Yes.
08:25I don't need somebody, but I 100% want it more than anything.
08:33Aw, David, I want you to have it too.
08:35To me, you do still seem impulsive.
08:40Mm-hmm.
08:41Yeah.
08:41I think I'm an impulsive person.
08:43Yes.
08:44For sure.
08:45I can relate with you because I used to be, like, super impulsive as well.
08:51Yeah.
08:51And I think now what I have is controlled impulse.
08:55That's what I need.
08:56When you think about your upcoming date with Mark, we could begin to work on this already.
09:01Mm-hmm.
09:02Okay.
09:03So, for example, you see him.
09:05He doesn't look like the photo.
09:07Okay.
09:08Now, what's a controlled decision?
09:10What would that be?
09:12Scream inside.
09:13Yes.
09:15Then let it breathe.
09:16Then let it breathe.
09:17Then just have a ball and see what happens.
09:20He's learning.
09:21But the thing is then if he looks better than the picture, I don't, I'll be like a fizzing
09:26bottle ready to explode.
09:28Then you can scream.
09:28Maybe not.
09:29But then you don't make a quick decision like, you know what?
09:32This is my partner for life.
09:33Right.
09:33Get to a place where you are regulated.
09:36Still water.
09:37Still water.
09:38Mm-hmm.
09:39That's good.
09:39Let's go with that.
09:40Okay.
09:41Because I'm always sparkling.
09:42Yes.
09:43Yes.
09:43Still water.
09:44Still water.
09:47Okay.
09:47Yes.
09:48Control your impulse.
09:49Okay.
09:50Good start.
09:51Well then, on that note then, David, thank you for coming.
09:54No, thank you.
09:55Thank you guys.
09:56Bye.
09:57Come here.
09:58Have fun.
09:59Mwah.
10:00Mwah.
10:00Come on in.
10:01Come on in.
10:02Gorgeous as always.
10:03I'll see you soon.
10:04All right.
10:05We'll see you.
10:05Bye.
10:06Bye-bye.
10:08That was so lovely.
10:09I believe he really can find love this time.
10:13I strongly believe that actually.
10:15Absolutely.
10:15And you know, some people are drains, some people are fountains.
10:19He's a fountain.
10:21Yep.
10:22A fountain full of moisturizer and fake tan.
10:24But a great guy with it.
10:27I'm ready.
10:29Okay, it's date o'clock or as Steven with a PH would put it, daytime meet up o'clock.
10:34And bang on time, here comes Viv.
10:37With a VI and a V.
10:38I look so good and I don't need your validation.
10:42I'm hoping to learn more about Steven as a person, the man behind the music and what he's passionate
10:50about and just the real, just the real him I guess.
10:54The real Slim Shady?
10:56Oh no, that's the other one.
10:58Anyway, we've got our Miss Scarlet.
10:59Now all we need is our Professor Green, who I suspect might be bringing his lead pipe
11:04in when he sees Viv.
11:05Hi Viv.
11:07Hello.
11:08How are you?
11:08I'm good.
11:09Nice to meet you.
11:11Nice to meet you.
11:11Yeah, I'm good.
11:15How's life?
11:16Oh God, he looks like a nervy dog at Battersea.
11:19My first impressions of Viv, she's gorgeous, but I do struggle making small talk.
11:24How do you sit across from someone you've never met and make conversation?
11:28Come on Stevie boy, you got this.
11:32Okay.
11:33Where about she from?
11:33And he's off.
11:35So I'm originally from Wiffenstow.
11:37Okay.
11:38East London girl.
11:39E17?
11:39E17.
11:40Like the band?
11:41Loved the band.
11:42I loved the band.
11:43Loved the band.
11:43What was your favourite E17 song?
11:45Stay.
11:46You got to go away.
11:48Big tune.
11:49Don't sing.
11:49Brian Harvey, ma'am.
11:51Yeah?
11:51Yeah.
11:52Be you.
11:53Be you?
11:53I don't know.
11:54His voice was a bit of me, yeah.
11:56And him with you, he's demon.
11:58Only because we couldn't book Brian Harvey.
12:00And by the way, there's literally a path behind you and my eyes have got a habit.
12:03Of wanting to process every bit of information.
12:06That's okay.
12:06That there is.
12:07Just to let you know, I'm not at all being elsewhere.
12:11No, not at all.
12:12Absolutely not.
12:13Yeah, it's cool.
12:13As long as you don't let it distract you too much.
12:17There was literally a dog doing a wee up a tree behind you.
12:20Sorry.
12:20Oh dear, Stephen.
12:22With a PH.
12:23Okay.
12:24Yeah.
12:25Nice.
12:27Okay.
12:28And now another one.
12:29Sorry.
12:30Bad Stephen.
12:30No, no.
12:31Naughty boy.
12:32Bad boy.
12:32That tree must stink a piss.
12:44Welcome back to Celebs Go Dating, where we are just a few hours away from tonight's
12:48first mixer.
12:49But back with pro green who saw a dog stopping by a tree.
12:53P-I-S-S-I-N-G.
12:56Where's my record deal?
12:58So, aside from DJing, what did you do?
13:00Write comedy for television.
13:02Wicked.
13:02Yeah.
13:03So, yeah.
13:05Got some funnies on a few shows, making other comedians look funnier than they are.
13:10Oh really?
13:10How much do you charge asking for a friend?
13:12What are you excited about at the minute?
13:14What am I excited about at the minute?
13:18Erm...
13:18Horses?
13:19Do you know what?
13:20Music, again.
13:21Nice.
13:22Yeah.
13:22Very much music.
13:24Because music's the one thing that I'll come up with a lyric and I'll shake my hands.
13:29Do you know what I mean?
13:29Absolutely not, no.
13:30Do you mean by, like, shake your hands?
13:32Like I'll literally shake my hands when I get a lyric, like when I find that piece of
13:35the puzzle, it gives me an excitement that I don't really get from anything else.
13:40Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.
13:40What gives you that excitement?
13:41What are you excited about?
13:42I love creating things.
13:43When I create something I'm like, yeah, I feel alive, as cliche as it sounds.
13:49Alright, well she likes creating something and he likes shaking his own hands.
13:52We've all learnt something and weirdly there might be hope on this meetup after all.
13:55Am I swimming in a fishbowl? Am I in the deep end?
14:01Talking of hands, Gabby's got hers full of the wet, slippery little Johnny she was given
14:05on her first date through the agency.
14:07Am I in the deep end? Oh, there's no way out.
14:12Hello, Celebrity Dating Agency.
14:14Hello, I'm here for the agency.
14:17Oh, Gabby.
14:18Come in, come in, come in.
14:21It's not that easy, it's not that easy.
14:25These days can't find a man to please me.
14:30Come in, come in.
14:34Hello.
14:35Hello, Tom.
14:36Oh, you have a little friend.
14:39This is little Johnny.
14:40Where did you get him?
14:41My date bought him.
14:43Your date?
14:44Oh, I see.
14:45He was big Johnny and this is little Johnny.
14:47And I think I would love it if you guys could just take him off me.
14:50Leave it out, Gabs.
14:51If we were given a fish every time our clients had a shit date,
14:54Tom's office would look like Billingsgate and not just smell like it.
15:00Speaking of shit dates or shit meetups, whatever,
15:03back with Stephen with a PH.
15:07Have you seen these boats?
15:13Oh, it's called the ship, isn't it, here?
15:15Yeah.
15:16That'll do it.
15:16Maritime Museum.
15:19Over there in Greenwich.
15:21Yes.
15:22Yes.
15:23Greenwich Mean Time.
15:24Yes.
15:25Yeah.
15:27GMT.
15:28Yep, there you go.
15:29Jesus Christ.
15:31Apparently, if you were to buy a boat back in the day,
15:32they had to make you a model to some sort of scale.
15:36So some of these boats were actually...
15:37Oh, models for...?
15:39For people who bought the boats.
15:40Like a prototype sort of thing.
15:41Oh, that's an interesting story.
15:43Is it an interesting story?
15:45Is it?
15:47I don't think it is.
15:49Sorry to this term.
15:50You're not, mate.
15:51You're doing us a favour.
15:52Grab a chair, will you?
15:53I think we offended the chef by sending...
15:55I mean, we could have shared one, couldn't we?
15:56Probably could have.
15:58I mean, that would have been a bit...
15:59Next time, wee!
16:01That would have been...
16:02Is the big bad rapper blushing?
16:05Oh, he's lost four words to that.
16:06Sorry, he's blushing now.
16:08I don't know how, but Stevie's ship chat
16:10must have floated Viv's boat.
16:12I'm not just saying it.
16:13I actually have had a really nice time.
16:15Likewise.
16:17Should we do splitsies?
16:17No, I'll get this one.
16:19Thank you, I appreciate it.
16:20That's all right.
16:21When you're ready.
16:23Thank you so much.
16:26Should we make a move?
16:27Yeah, let's do it.
16:28I've had a really nice time.
16:30Have you?
16:30Thank you for coming on a date with me.
16:34It was lovely hanging out.
16:35Well, it wasn't all plain sailing for the prof,
16:38but he navigated some choppy waters and set sail for home.
16:42And I've run out of sea-based metaphors.
16:44Where's little Johnny when you need him?
16:45Stephen was really easy to talk to.
16:48I would see Stephen again.
16:50Date two would be great.
16:51I feel good about how it went.
16:53Lots to process.
16:54Viv's wicked.
16:55She's got a great vibe.
16:57But beyond that, I don't know yet.
16:59You can see why he's a professor.
17:01See you back at the lab.
17:05From pro green to pro glow now,
17:07and it's David who's on his way to his first date with Mark.
17:11Fuck her up, big boy!
17:14There is that slight little bit of nerves, but it's like, you know,
17:17just like a little bit of a belly twinge.
17:20That could just be your nuts tied up in your three-inch running shorts.
17:23I just need to think controlled impulsivity or something like that.
17:28So basically control my impulsions.
17:32Fucking word, Ez.
17:36Yeah.
17:37So let's hope it's not a short king.
17:39If he is, you'll have to bend down to kiss his ring.
17:45You okay?
17:46Hi. Hi, nice to meet you.
17:48Are you okay?
17:48Right, it's the moment of truth.
17:49Time to find out how tall Mark is.
17:52Hi.
17:53Hello.
17:53Hi, nice to meet you.
17:54You too.
17:55I'm David.
17:56Oh, this is over.
17:57Mark, you're okay?
17:58Yeah.
18:03Oh, what are you going to drink?
18:05I am a little boring.
18:08Little am boring.
18:09What a catch.
18:10So I'm going to do like a gin and tonic.
18:11That's not boring.
18:12It is boring.
18:13A bit classic.
18:14Yeah, no, it's classic.
18:16Classically boring.
18:17What are you getting?
18:17Do you know what?
18:18I might get an Aperol Spritz.
18:19Okay.
18:20I think I'm going to go with that, maybe.
18:21But I will have a little nosy at the other things.
18:23Nosy.
18:24I'm still getting used to a lot of like the English slang.
18:26Oh, God, yeah.
18:27And the accents for sure.
18:28Like, I bet my accent's very different to everyone around here, innit?
18:31Mm-hmm.
18:32I absolutely did an inside scream when Mark stood up.
18:36But I'm not going to let my impulsions take over.
18:40I'm going to enjoy the day and see what happens.
18:43You never know.
18:44It could be the love of my life.
18:45I think, right, I don't want to big myself up,
18:47but I think I can do quite a good Australian accent.
18:50Yeah.
18:50And then you can try and do mine.
18:52Ooh.
18:53Right, what do you want me to say?
18:55Uh...
18:56Do you want me to just go for it?
18:57Just go for it.
18:57Okay.
18:59Okay.
19:00Let me prepare myself.
19:02Yeah.
19:02Get in character.
19:03No.
19:04No.
19:05No.
19:05No.
19:06You all right, Dave?
19:07Right, okay.
19:08Mm-hmm.
19:10Good day there.
19:10I'm David.
19:12I've come all the way from Bolton up north.
19:15It's been bloody lovely to be here with you today.
19:18I think I'd prefer that to his normal accent.
19:20How was that?
19:21That was pretty good.
19:22I just got it in.
19:23I think I'd be able to do, like...
19:25The justice.
19:26I think give it a go, though.
19:28Um...
19:28This could be interesting.
19:30Ooh.
19:30I don't even know what to say.
19:32Uh...
19:32Hi, my name's...
19:33See?
19:34I can't...
19:35Anyway.
19:36Yeah.
19:37I tried.
19:38I tried.
19:39Well, aside from laughing in his date's face,
19:42Dave is doing well at being less impulsive so far.
19:44I'm impressed.
19:48On the other side of town, Gabby and a goldfish are off to meet the agents.
19:53Come on in.
19:57Hello.
19:57Oh, hello.
19:58What on earth?
20:00What did you bring with you?
20:01This is little Johnny.
20:03At her first date, fisherman Johnny brought along a water-based wingman.
20:06Nobody's ever fetched you a goldfish.
20:09He also brought along some chat that truly sucked.
20:11I'd suck a fart out of your arse.
20:13Fit, aren't you?
20:14Which meant Gabs wasn't too keen to let her catch nearer.
20:18You get the idea.
20:19Little Johnny.
20:20Yes.
20:22And he's a gift from me to you, seeing as you sent me on a date with Big Johnny.
20:27Wait, what?
20:28You and Johnny have had a baby?
20:30Look, she's a dating expert, not a biologist, all right?
20:33Big Johnny bought this with him.
20:34Never in the history of the agency has this ever happened.
20:38And I've watched Gary Lucy be sick on her yacht.
20:41I was really kind of apprehensive about my date and I think I had every reason to be.
20:46Said some of the most outrageous things to me.
20:48Such as?
20:49Like what?
20:50I can't say it.
20:50Say it.
20:51I can't say it.
20:52Go on, say it.
20:53You two are ladies.
20:54Was it that bad?
20:56What was it about?
20:57He told me he wants to suck a fart out of my arse.
21:01Don't knock it till you tried it.
21:07Agency first.
21:08That is an agency first.
21:09Two agency first, a fish.
21:10Fish and someone's chat up line being they want to suck a fart out of your butthole.
21:14I mean.
21:14I really have come into this with high hopes.
21:19I want to try and meet somebody because otherwise I'm just like, what's the point?
21:23I'm wasting my time.
21:24Ooh.
21:25So were you expecting like a husband right away?
21:29I mean, I wanted a husband years ago, hon.
21:32It's just not looking good.
21:34You know, you're going on like a long journey here with the agency.
21:37Spot on.
21:38I think managing expectations is going to be really key for you.
21:42You are a boss bitch and we couldn't be more for that.
21:46Yes.
21:46Freaking love it.
21:47Love it.
21:48Admire it.
21:48But I think there is perhaps a lot of work we can do around why.
21:52And I think that is often very indicative of possibly what you've gone through in your
21:56life.
21:57It's defense.
21:58To move on, we need to know the past.
22:01Oh God.
22:02I start from the top.
22:04I had a boyfriend.
22:06And then he cheated on me in the end.
22:09And then I had a boyfriend.
22:12Who also cheated on me.
22:15What?
22:16So then I went on Love Island.
22:18And then I was with myself for a year.
22:23He cheated on me.
22:26And then...
22:27Oh my God, it's actually a running theme.
22:30And then the boy, the guy after him, cheated on me.
22:36So I'm getting upset.
22:43Woman to woman.
22:44That's the worst fucking thing ever.
22:46Yeah.
22:47It's kind of embarrassing when I just said it out loud.
22:50Just like, oh my God.
22:53It wasn't your fault.
22:56It wasn't your fault.
23:20So resilient.
23:22You've got to hand it to Dr T and A dubs.
23:25Even when emotions run high, they're always there with expert insight.
23:31That's really shit.
23:33Thanks, Hannah.
23:34Gabby has shown real courage in opening up about her previous relationship trauma.
23:38It can be very painful to show that level of vulnerability.
23:41But what I do know is that it can lead and will, I reckon with Gabby, lead to growth.
23:47You've gone through many infidelities.
23:51Mm-hmm.
23:52I would say statistically more than what an average person would have endured.
23:58Why do you think they've cheated?
24:04Um, I think whenever all of the people that have cheated on me, I think I've always put them on
24:11a pedestal.
24:13And always believe that they're better than me.
24:16One of them even said to me once, oh, do you ever think, do you ever wonder why I chose
24:19you?
24:20What?
24:20Yeah.
24:22What?
24:23Because he was so in demand at the time.
24:25Oh, what a POS.
24:27You have dated some shit, man.
24:29Mm-hmm.
24:30I know.
24:30Mm-hmm.
24:31But you know what?
24:32When you have shit people around you, they just make you feel like shit.
24:36Oh, yeah.
24:37And this plays into your self-esteem.
24:40Yeah.
24:41What do you think of yourself?
24:44Mmm.
24:50How's it done?
24:53You have so much to give in a relationship.
24:55Mm-hmm.
24:56But you come across as very lost.
24:58Mm-hmm.
24:59Do you know the difference between being confident or seeming confident versus having high self-esteem?
25:07Externally, you present very confidently, which is really helpful.
25:11Because sometimes you can fake it till you make it.
25:13Yeah.
25:13But a lot of times you can't.
25:15And so internally, you haven't really worked too much on your self-esteem.
25:21No, because I think, well, I would like to think that I've got good self-esteem.
25:26Because I know what is, I know what I deserve.
25:31I have tried to be better.
25:33I have done some mindset work and stuff over the past.
25:36Mm-hmm.
25:36I think it's just deep-rooted issues.
25:40100%.
25:41Yeah.
25:41What we need to really work on you with is that inner self-confidence, right?
25:46But real self-esteem.
25:47Put yourself on that pedestal.
25:49And what we want to do is work on that inner core resilience to help you show up in your
25:53dating world,
25:54in your relationship world going, I'm Gabby and I'm the full package.
25:58That's the work we need to change.
26:00Mm-hmm.
26:01Sound fair?
26:02Yeah.
26:02A healed version of Gabby.
26:05We have got you under our wing.
26:07We think you're incredible.
26:08Mm-hmm.
26:08And we are just really excited to see where we can help move you.
26:11Thanks, guys.
26:12Can we do a group hug?
26:14Yeah.
26:14Let's bring it in.
26:15Oh, man.
26:16Let's bring it in.
26:17Yeah.
26:18Mmm.
26:19We love you.
26:20No more shady men.
26:21Yeah.
26:22Yeah.
26:23Stop dating pricked.
26:24Shall we do a boob high five?
26:26High six, surely.
26:27Yeah!
26:28You two have amazing racks.
26:30No worries.
26:31Gabby, we love you.
26:32Love you too.
26:33And we're going to have fun.
26:34Game face on.
26:35Okay.
26:36Mixer.
26:37Well, if the boob high six didn't get you in the mood for the first mixer, I don't know what
26:41will.
26:42Oh, she left a fish.
26:43Tom will sort that out.
26:46Farewell.
26:47Don't worry, the fish is fine.
26:49Tom's just out of shit.
26:54Back with agency two-timer David Potts now, who's taking time out from ripping Aussie Mark's
26:59accent and whinging about his height to having a proper convo.
27:05Right, Mark, talk to me.
27:07Let's get into the nitty gritty.
27:09So, have you been on many dates since you've been here in London?
27:12I haven't actually.
27:14Okay.
27:14Yeah.
27:14I've been, yeah, I've been like one or two.
27:17Okay.
27:17This is the third.
27:18Oh, okay.
27:19I'm going to be honest, the fact that Mark is so much shorter than me, he's kind of putting
27:25me off a little bit.
27:26But I'm going to try and look past it.
27:29Okay.
27:29And I'm going to try and not let this affect the date because he is fit.
27:33Right, what's your go-to?
27:34Like, what's your normal type if you have one?
27:37Normal type is funny.
27:38What about you?
27:40What do you usually go for?
27:40So, as like a person.
27:43Yep.
27:44Strictly no animals.
27:45I want someone who's like kind, who can work the room.
27:49It's got a bit of spunk, you know?
27:51Like a bit.
27:51I do normally go for older.
27:53I know you are older.
27:55Okay.
27:55But the agents have told me I need to broaden my horizon.
27:58Yes.
27:59Yeah.
27:59Okay.
28:00Mm-hmm.
28:00So, I'm broadening my horizon.
28:02Lucky me.
28:03Well done, David.
28:04I think this counts as progress.
28:06So, ideally I like someone tall as well.
28:09Bloody hell, not this again.
28:11But it's fine, we can just stick you with some heels.
28:15I like tall, looking fresh.
28:18That's a massive tip for you.
28:20Yeah, thank you.
28:20You look fresh to death.
28:22Yeah, for sure.
28:23If you put a pair of heels on, it's done.
28:25It's exciting.
28:27Brilliant.
28:28Brilliant.
28:28Just as long as you're done with this height banter.
28:31How tall are you?
28:32Oh, for fuck's sake.
28:33Oh, um, 167 centimetres.
28:37Which is like five foot five.
28:38Ah, okay.
28:39So, I am six foot one and a half.
28:42I think I'm 187 centimetres.
28:45That's very tall.
28:47How's the weather up there?
28:48Do you know what?
28:49It's bloody boiling.
28:50This is what I'm saying.
28:51This is why I'm always hot.
28:52Because I'm so close to the sun.
28:53Exactly.
28:54Like I'm going to get sunburned.
28:55Do you know what I mean?
28:56Yeah, don't get too close to the sun though, David.
28:59You'll end up like that Greek fella.
29:00What's his name?
29:00The one with the wings.
29:01Oh, never mind.
29:02No time for that because...
29:05Oi, oi!
29:06Here comes a celeb who didn't get the cream on his date with Kitten.
29:09Which means his search for the perfect pussy goes on.
29:15It's superstar DJ James Haskell.
29:17Right foot, let's start.
29:19Left foot, let's start.
29:20Left foot, let's start.
29:20Hello, celebrity dating agency.
29:22Yeah, it's James Haskell.
29:23Oh, come in.
29:25Easy tiger.
29:26Calm down, Tom.
29:27To the left.
29:28Take it back now, y'all.
29:30One hop this time.
29:32One hop this time.
29:34We need wider door frames for you.
29:36Do we? How are you? You alright?
29:37Mmm.
29:38Oh, do you alright?
29:39You're doing fantastic, yeah.
29:40Oh, you're giving me mercury sandals.
29:43You don't get them in shoe zone.
29:45I shall float for the remainder of the day.
29:47Yes.
29:47Who was the one who flew too near the sun?
29:50Icarus.
29:50Icarus, yeah.
29:52Icarus, that's his name.
29:53Don't go too near the sun.
29:54His father built him in the wings, didn't he?
29:56Yes, yes.
29:56He said, don't fly too near the sun.
29:57Yeah, I like Greek mythology.
29:59Oh, me too.
30:00Well, you're like Zeus.
30:01You're like Zeus with all the juice.
30:03Better than Hermes with all the herpes.
30:05Stop it.
30:05You're just gargantuan.
30:07It's typical flanker heft, isn't it?
30:10It is.
30:11What a flanker indeed.
30:12I bet he's been flanking himself blind since he split up with Chloe.
30:16By that I mean playing a bit more rugby, obviously.
30:22Back at his date with Mark, David's delivering a masterclass in first aid technique slash getting hammered.
30:29Delete where applicable.
30:30Oh, there goes the spritz.
30:34I just thought I'd chuck it back, you know.
30:39No drop wasted.
31:01No drop wasted.
31:03Not wearing trousers.
31:03No pockets for your wallet.
31:05Smart.
31:06Perfect.
31:06Would you like receipt with that?
31:07No, that's fine.
31:09Thank you so much.
31:10Thank you so much.
31:12So how'd you find the date?
31:14Hmm.
31:15Instant face to face date feedback.
31:16This could be awkward and I'm here for it.
31:20Yeah, it was lovely.
31:22It was definitely lovely.
31:22I think you're really lovely.
31:24Lovely person.
31:25Great energy.
31:26Great chat.
31:27What about you?
31:28Uh, the same.
31:30Yeah.
31:30Great energy, great chat.
31:31I think we have a connection.
31:33Okay.
31:33I'd be keen to get to know you a bit more.
31:34Yeah.
31:35Find out a bit more about, um, A, your dating history.
31:38Okay.
31:38B, your life.
31:40Yeah.
31:40Your, you know, life in the entertainment industry.
31:42Neither of those should take long.
31:44No, I'd be keen to see you again and see, yeah.
31:46See how it goes.
31:48Yeah.
31:48I'll have a little think about it.
31:50Yeah, no worries.
31:50I'll have a little think, my darling.
31:52Ah, yes.
31:52The old treat them non-committal after calling them little approach.
31:56Classic potsy.
31:58Oh, he is wearing trousers.
32:00Yes.
32:00Thank you so much.
32:02I'd love to see David again.
32:04I felt like the goodbye was quite friendly, but it's a first date.
32:07So you kind of never know until you sort of go on a second date and explore that.
32:10Oh, Jesus.
32:12Oh, wow.
32:12That's...
32:13Oh, it's raining.
32:13Oh, gorgeous weather.
32:15My philosophy is I'll get this one, you get the next one.
32:18Because if I intend to see you again, then I'm more than happy to pay.
32:21Yeah, I wouldn't be banking on that if I were you.
32:23I'll tell you what, when he does trousers, he fucking does trousers.
32:26Look at them.
32:27So when I walked in and saw Mark, I thought, wow.
32:31And then he stood up and I was like, wow, but so stunning.
32:38Sometimes stunning things come in small packages.
32:40And sometimes small packages come in stunning things.
32:44But it's rare.
32:45Take it from me.
32:46So maybe someone with a little bit more oomph and a few more inches.
32:52Wouldn't go amiss.
32:53Oh, that's disgusting. I'm joking.
32:58I'm joking.
32:59No, he's not.
33:03Back at the agency, ex-rugby slash superstar DJ James Haskell is heading up to see Anna and
33:08Paul, who will be keen to find out whether his date with Kitten went well or he just went
33:12home to flank.
33:15Come on in.
33:17Oh, no.
33:19There he is.
33:20James.
33:21How are you?
33:22It's good to see you.
33:23Has kicked off his agency experience with Kitten who may have been keen to get her claws into
33:28him.
33:28People have always told me that they can imagine me with a rugby player.
33:32Oh, really?
33:33But a conflap with Colleen confirmed he wasn't in the mood for dancing or making sexy music.
33:39I'd probably need someone a bit more mature than that, a bit more kind of worldly wise.
33:44The date that you went on with Kitten.
33:47Yes.
33:47How would you rate it?
33:48Being really honest, it wasn't a spark for me, a romantic spark for me in that sense.
33:54She was very attractive.
33:57There was lots of things we sort of talked about.
33:59Okay.
34:00Good feedback.
34:01So, we asked Kitten, in your opinion, what did James do right on your date?
34:07I feel like he was a gent, always checking in to see if I'm okay.
34:12At times he complimented me.
34:13He has respect for his ex-wife.
34:16I'm just not sure if he is fully open to date.
34:21I think it's very astute, yeah.
34:23I felt really guilty.
34:24I felt really guilty because I've obviously been separated two and a half years with Chloe.
34:30I'm very aware that I do not want to do anything in front of Chloe and I don't want to
34:35rub anything into her face.
34:39I think people in the press, they look for kind of nefarious reasons.
34:43It puts pressure on the person you're with.
34:44It puts pressure on you.
34:45We didn't take this lightly.
34:47We did couples therapy.
34:47We did stuff.
34:48We worked at it.
34:52You know, I made mistakes.
34:56Was there an effect?
34:59Well, come on, James.
35:01Was there?
35:03Well, come on, James.
35:11Welcome back to Celebs Go Dating.
35:14Where the agents want to know if rugged bugger James Haskell got into a scrum with another hun during his
35:20time with Chloe.
35:21Was there an effect?
35:24Take your time, mate.
35:27No, no, no, not at all.
35:28All right, well that clears that up then.
35:30Case solved.
35:31My sporting career was very selfish because you had to be.
35:34Lots of travel, lots of work.
35:35Then I switched into DJing and travel and work with that.
35:38And I probably needed to be more there for Chloe when we had blow the early doors.
35:42And I think that, you know, we argued and stuff.
35:44And I just think it was one of those things where it was better to be where we are now
35:48than it was before.
35:49It doesn't sound like there was one massive catalyst for the relationship breakdown.
35:53You have a child, you throw careers into the mix.
35:56One in five couples break up within the first 12 months of having a baby.
36:00Lucky bastards.
36:01I want to be really respectful because Chloe will always be a massive part of my life.
36:04And will always be there, as will my daughter.
36:06They're really a priority for me.
36:08And that's something that I'm going to have to really manage if and when I meet someone.
36:12Let's call it for what it is.
36:13This is a very new experience for you now.
36:16Coming out of a relationship with a child.
36:18It's a whole new ball game.
36:20Oh, nice little rugby reference there from Anna.
36:22This is starting from scratch again when it comes to dating.
36:25The stakes are so much higher.
36:27And it is about juggling all these balls.
36:29All right, you can ease back on the rugby puns now.
36:32And I think just to reassure you, we will never do anything to jeopardise your relationship
36:38with your ex, with your daughter, with your family.
36:42But if you do snog someone, we'll put it on the telly.
36:45Just saying.
36:45I think it's very, very important for you to know that respecting your ex doesn't mean erasing your desire.
36:57Yeah.
36:58Here we go.
36:58Lock the door.
36:59Shut the curtains.
37:00We're getting deep.
37:00I think part of that also will impact your dates because you want there to be clarity from the datey's
37:09standpoint that you are here to date.
37:13Surely going on the date is a bit of a giveaway, but maybe that's just me.
37:18And I think you being clear in terms of what you're seeking, even if it's not with this particular person
37:23in this case, I think is very, very important.
37:26Right.
37:27You know, I am open to date.
37:28I think it's just, it's very new for you.
37:31Yeah.
37:31And I think you're figuring out how the hell does this all work for me now.
37:35And we will help you with that.
37:37Okay.
37:37And I want you to maybe just, just let out a little bit of that control and give it over
37:42to us.
37:43Fine.
37:44Okay.
37:44The best environment to allow James to relinquish is a mixer.
37:50Oh, yeah.
37:51That's the best environment right there.
37:52Oh, and you are going to be a mixer maestro.
37:55Yes.
37:55I'm just asking I'm still married.
37:58Yeah, I wouldn't lead with that if I were you.
38:00We're going to be intrigued to see how you do at it.
38:03And we just can't wait.
38:05Not like a school disco trying to kiss how many people you can kiss.
38:07No, no, no.
38:08I'm joking.
38:08I'm joking.
38:09Is he though?
38:10Don't go around getting out from everyone.
38:12I won't.
38:12Can we have a big bear hug?
38:13Of course you can, yeah.
38:14Right.
38:15Of course you can.
38:16Mind the dicky leg.
38:17Mind the dicky leg.
38:17And the leggy dick.
38:19Hold in the face, thank you.
38:20Come on, darling.
38:21Right, I'll see you guys later.
38:22Have a good one.
38:23Right, James, go and sort yourself out and get ready for tonight's big night.
38:27That's right.
38:28It's time for the first mixer of the series.
38:33A chance for the agents to see what our celebs dating skills are really like as they cast
38:38them adrift in a pool of sexy singles.
38:43We've got Tom polishing big balls.
38:45We've got champers.
38:46We've even got Mr. Pringles himself.
38:49Yeah, he's a bit older now.
38:50The next thing we need is some agents.
38:53Come on, guys.
38:53Stop walking in slow motion.
38:55We've got a mixer to do.
38:57Oh, love.
38:59Oh, love.
39:00Teakety-sheak-sheak.
39:02Well, back at you, kid.
39:03Back at you, kid.
39:05Oh, love.
39:05No, no.
39:06Silly old caggy.
39:08Oh, love.
39:10Teak, this is exceptional.
39:12This is an amazing mix of having even got started here.
39:15I know.
39:15It puts a lot of spring in my step.
39:17Oh, ooh.
39:18It makes me bounce.
39:20Alright, calm down.
39:21You've rattled the IB for final boss fan club over there.
39:24Alright, team.
39:25Do you have our special station set up?
39:27Yes, there's an alcove through there.
39:30Okay.
39:30We love to be spies.
39:33They won't even know that we can see and hear everything that's going on.
39:37No, no.
39:37It's a brilliant viewing station.
39:39You're going to be like Demi deities with eyes and ears everywhere.
39:43We'll be listening and watching everything our celebs get up to.
39:47This is our chance to see where they may be going right or wrong
39:50and pinpoint what we can do to help them during their time here at the agency.
39:54And let's not forget that we do have a little surprise up our sleeves.
39:59Ooh, what you got planned, Anna?
40:03The only thing this mixer needs now is some superstars.
40:07And failing that, some slightly famous celebs.
40:09And here they come.
40:16I am here for this mixer and for whatever the agents have in store for me.
40:21I cannot wait to strut my stuff, find my Mr. I, or if not, just get pissed with a lot
40:28of sexy boys.
40:30Hi, guys.
40:31You all okay?
40:33Right, first of all, who's gay and who's not?
40:36Have we got the gays here yet?
40:37Okay, sorry everyone, I'm just, there's no time you're wasting my time.
40:42David is having a ball.
40:44Yes.
40:45Yeah.
40:45It looks like he might be having a dozen balls at this, right?
40:48How old is everyone?
40:50I'm 34.
40:5234 where?
40:52Just turned 21.
40:55Liar.
40:56Treat them mean, keep them keen, eh, Potsy?
40:59This man knows what he's doing.
41:00Time for another, because here comes Gabby.
41:04You don't know me, underestimate me every time.
41:08I'm doing my best to look as confident as I can on the outside.
41:11But on the inside, I am shitting myself.
41:14I'm feeling really vulnerable and very overwhelmed.
41:18Nice to meet you.
41:19What's your name?
41:20I'm Rhys.
41:20I'm, you know, Rhys I am.
41:22Will I am's cousin.
41:24Very nervous.
41:25Yeah, look, I'm like shaking.
41:26It's quite intense.
41:27Gotta commend her for showing up and doing her best.
41:30Yes.
41:31How old are you guys?
41:3227.
41:3327.
41:3428.
41:3528.
41:3524.
41:36Oh, he's young.
41:38Actually, what we know is that she has been through a lot in relationships
41:42and we just need to help her soften those edges and boost that self-esteem.
41:47What was that?
41:48Oh, sorry, Anna.
41:48I got distracted by the man mountain who put the R in rugby
41:53and the beat in my heart.
41:54Because he's a DJ now.
41:56It's James Haskell.
42:02I'm nervous going into my first mixer.
42:04Don't mind talking to people, but this is under pressure.
42:07Paul has advised me that while I can have the utmost respect for my ex,
42:11I can also be open to dating, which is some great advice.
42:14Have you got any party tricks?
42:16I could flex my chest.
42:17I'm too much of a gentleman to look, right?
42:20Okay.
42:20They just popped.
42:21Well done.
42:22Well done.
42:22Happy to meet you.
42:23It's nice to meet you as well.
42:25I can't.
42:26Look out.
42:26You scared it off.
42:28I will do.
42:28I need to lie down now.
42:30Chest in the nick of time.
42:32Right here comes Aussie Mavs Lucinda.
42:35Can someone check on James?
42:35People, I'm really looking forward to this mixer.
42:39I'm a bit of a social butterfly.
42:40And I'm looking forward to getting to know all of the spunky guys in the space.
42:45Cheers, everybody.
42:46Cheers, cheers.
42:47Oh my gosh.
42:48You guys are easing my nerves.
42:50Don't be nervous.
42:51It's a lot.
42:52We feel more nervous around you than you don't have to sit up.
42:55You guys are so lovely.
42:57I'm like, where do we even start?
42:59Maybe by not marrying one of them instantly?
43:02Just a thought.
43:03It's too wee.
43:04Anyway, no time to dwell on that because we've got another celeb incoming.
43:08It's Stephen with a PH Manderson.
43:11My first mix-up.
43:12Forced enthusiasm and encouraged fun.
43:15It's going to be fine.
43:16It's going to be fine.
43:18Stephen, it's going to be fine.
43:19How you doing?
43:20Professor Green.
43:21Stephen.
43:21I don't think I've ever introduced myself as Professor Green to anyone.
43:25Never.
43:26No, what is weird is you talking to this delightful gentleman rather than any of the lovely ladies
43:32we've invited to this mix-up.
43:34But hang on.
43:35Who's that sashaying down the stairs?
43:38That's a rhetorical question because I know it's Colleen and she's not on the stairs yet.
43:42She's outside in the pissy rain.
43:44It's so out of my comfort zone walking into a room full of people and having to instantly
43:49put yourself out there.
43:50I can't think of anything worse.
43:52Oh well, in you go anyway.
43:53Try to make the most of it.
43:55All the best.
43:56Oh, hello.
43:57Nice to meet you.
43:57Hello, lovely to meet you.
43:59Mwah.
43:59Mwah.
44:00Are you very nervous?
44:01Yes.
44:02Everyone's so young.
44:03I know what you mean.
44:06Well, you look great, like whatever age you are.
44:09You look great.
44:10Oh, who's this silver-tongued charmer?
44:12I know, age is just a number.
44:13It really is.
44:14I certainly don't feel my age, but equally.
44:18There's practicality.
44:19There's practicality.
44:19Oh, there's practicality.
44:20Practicality?
44:21Sounds like someone's got his old Nan Simmer frame to sell.
44:24Elsewhere in the mixer, Gabby's still talking to one man and two Sixformers by the looks of
44:28things.
44:28What's the usual type?
44:29You've got younger guys, older guys?
44:31I always just seem to like date younger guys.
44:33Yeah.
44:34Erm, but I don't know, I'm trying to do something different.
44:37That means we've got no chance then.
44:39Well, you're not helping yourself with bants like that, mate.
44:41What's your biggest red flag?
44:43Big no-no.
44:46Erm...
44:48I don't know.
44:49Yeah?
44:50Being asked cheesy questions like that by the looks of it.
44:52What's your red flags?
44:54Do you know if someone's like...awkward?
44:57Yeah, yeah, yeah.
44:57Do you know what I mean?
44:58Read the room, Reece's Pieces.
45:00Gabs has already said she's nervous.
45:02You're not helping her here.
45:03I'm already on the edge and then these lads start talking to me about their red flags
45:07and how they don't want a girl to be shy or to be awkward.
45:12And I'm stuck there being shy and awkward.
45:14It's nice to meet yous, though.
45:16Yeah, you too.
45:16See you, you too.
45:17Okay.
45:17Better get around.
45:18See you in.
45:19Nice to meet yous.
45:19Better get around to you.
45:20Take care.
45:21Bye.
45:21Hope you get another drink.
45:22Yes.
45:23Okay, where do I go now?
45:25This is daunting.
45:27Whoa, whoa, whoa.
45:27I don't know what's going on here with Gabby.
45:29I'm so stressed.
45:30I literally don't know what to do.
45:35Oh, she's looking a bit stressed.
45:37I feel like...am I talking to too many people?
45:41It's confusing me.
45:42I don't know.
45:43I'm so confused.
45:44This is very stressful.
45:50Oh, shit.
45:52This is how...
45:56Tomorrow night.
45:58You are outrageous.
45:59I love her.
46:00It's Mixageddon.
46:02Is it?
46:04I love her.
46:05It's here.
46:05This is a hurt.
46:07As a celebs.
46:09I'm just looking at someone with a pulse.
46:11She's giving him nothing.
46:13Go!
46:14I feel like you ruled me out.
46:16Dating!
46:16After that whole exchange, it came across as very rude.
46:21Dating!
46:21You're of course is inside the room.
46:21I'll give a minute.
46:21I'm just going to get out of here.
46:21No one r increments in the room.
46:21If you want to get out of here.
