00:00Tonight, James gets grilled, Gabby gets a mosh, and David gets stuck. Plus, it's the first
00:18mixer of the series. As our celebs, Go!
00:27I could flex my chest. I need to lie down now. Dating! This is hell.
00:44Welcome to Celebs Go Dating, the only place dedicated to helping romantically challenged
00:50celebrities cop off with members of the public. Ah, yes, they have come through the photographs.
00:56It's a new day at the agency where Tom snuck onto Anna's laptop to access some pretty
01:02X-ray material by the sounds of things. Oh, yes, the top view. That's majestic.
01:09Sounds like he's logged onto P-Dog's OnlyFans page. Wait till you see the bottom view, Tommy
01:13boy. Cavernous. And we can always add candles, can't we?
01:17You'd have to ask him first, you kinky sod. Speaking of which, here comes our resident
01:21sexpert, Dr Tara. And what happens is that everybody's so chummy by the middle of the
01:27evening that you feel like you've known them for eons. Well, that sounds lovely, sort of
01:32flappery. Oh, hi, babe. Flappery's fine. No, I think that sounds sublime. Tom, you can't
01:38just ignore her. She's a doctor. Luckily, these two have arrived.
01:43Ooh, it's brass monkeys. Brass monkeys? It's slang. It's cold enough out there to freeze
01:49the bollocks off a brass monkey. Pretty weird, I'll give you that. No, that'll be absolutely
01:53lovely. Right, shall we? Weird knocking to go into your own office. Easy peasy. And then
02:00the same way home. Oh. Hello, hello. Double trouble. That's a surprise. All right. Bye. Bye.
02:06He's busy. He's so busy. I've just been firming up with them all. And the mixer. Yes. That's
02:12right. It's nearly first mixer time, baby. I'd better get down because we've got James,
02:16David and Gabby in today. T, you're working too hard. Too hard. Work hard, let's face it.
02:22He does naffle, bit of cleaning and then a chat. See you soon. But it's nearly there.
02:27Very, very, very nearly there. Exciting. Grazy. Jesus, he got down, says quickly.
02:34I reckon trousers down, slide down a banister. And it's a good job too, because the first
02:38celeb of the day is on his way. Looking like a sexy Battenberg, it's David Potts.
02:44And just like Battenberg, he's very sweet, but always goes down well. Gobble, gobble.
02:49Hello, celebrity dating agency. Hi, Tom, it's David. David coming due.
02:55Who's David coming due?
03:04Hello, my darling boy. Oh, look. Hello. You smell gorgeous. Oh, thank you.
03:15It's something me and very old ladies wear. Lavender and the look of fear that death
03:19is just round the corner. Oh, it's gorgeous. It's a lost scent, actually.
03:23You have to go down the sort of perfume equivalent of the black web to get it.
03:27Ah, oh, OK. It's called Amazon, Tom. It's so dramatic.
03:31Oh, you're here. My entreaties to the gods have been answered.
03:35Was you requesting me back? Oh, I was. Was I at the top of the list?
03:39Yep, just after Joey Essex, Pete Wick, Charlotte Dawson, Sam Thompson,
03:43Chloe Sims and Kerry Katona. Yep, top of the list.
03:46You know, I can tell a lot has happened to you in the interim. Yeah.
03:49In the interim, the outer rim, whichever rim, really.
03:52Are you excited about having your first consultation?
03:55Yes, I am. And 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, OK, your book. Yes.
04:08The internet's resident sexpert. Yes, that's what she is.
04:13How do you like it? Available at all good bookshops
04:16and some shit porn shops. There's nothing she doesn't know.
04:20She can be endlessly pumped and the well never run astray.
04:24My kind of leader.
04:28Now, here's someone else who's used to endlessly pumping.
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. Definitely 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? Meet-up? A drink?
04:51I don't know. How about meet-up?
04:53But does that feel more comfortable for you? Yeah.
04:55Perfect, because that really is all it is.
04:58Is it a silly question? Is this a nerve-wracking prospect?
05:04Um...
05:05Yeah, this is the first time I've ever met anyone
05:09or had a situation like this.
05:11You've got this, big guy. Stop 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.
05:26Um, 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.
05:52In those shorts, you might see a celeb Todger before 12pm.
05:55David Potts.
05:56Pots and pans.
05:58Yes, 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?!
06:15Oh, 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.
06:47I'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, Dave, 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 that.
07:04I 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.
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.
07:40You 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.
08:00Like watching my mum and dad, my grandma, and then when my granddad was alive, like them together.
08:06Like, 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.
08:20Do you know what I mean?
08:21Mm-hmm.
08:21You know, like, all that stuff that couples do.
08:25Yes.
08:26I 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. I think I'm an impulsive person.
08:44Yes.
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.
08:57When you think about your upcoming date with Mark, we could begin to work on this already.
09:02Mm-hmm.
09:02Okay.
09:03So, for example, you see him.
09:06He doesn't look like the photo.
09:08Okay.
09:08Now, what's a controlled decision?
09:10What would that be?
09:12Scream inside.
09:14Yes.
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 that if he looks better than the picture, I'd be like a fizzing bottle ready to
09:27explode.
09:28Then you can scream.
09:28Maybe not.
09:29But then you don't make a quick decision like, you know what?
09:31This is my partner for life.
09:33Right.
09:34Get to a place where you are regulated.
09:36Still water.
09:37Still water.
09:39That's good.
09:39Let's go with that.
09:40Okay.
09:41Because I'm always sparkling.
09:42Yes.
09:43Still water.
09:44Still water.
09:45That's the only time you make a decision.
09:47Mm-hmm.
09:47Okay.
09:48Control your impulse.
09:49Okay.
09:50Good stop.
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.
10:06Bye-bye.
10:08That was so lovely.
10:10I believe he really can find love this time.
10:13I strongly believe that, actually.
10:15And, you know, some people are drains.
10:18Some 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 Stephen 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 Stephen as a person, the man behind the music, and what he's passionate about,
10:51and 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.
11:00Now all we need is our Professor Green, who I suspect might be bringing his lead pipe in when he
11:05sees Viv.
11:06Hi, Viv.
11:07Hello.
11:08How are you?
11:08I'm good.
11:09You all right?
11:09Nice to meet you.
11:10How are you?
11:11Nice to meet you.
11:11Yeah, I'm good.
11:15How's life?
11:17Oh, 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?
11:34And he's off.
11:35So I'm originally from Whiffenstow, so East 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.
11:46Good girl to go.
11:47Oh, it's a big tune.
11:50Brian Harvey, man.
11:51Yeah?
11:51Yeah.
11:52Be you?
11:52Be you, I don't know.
11:54His voice was a bit of me, yeah.
11:56I'm here with you, Stephen.
11:58Only because we couldn't book Brian Harvey.
12:00By the way, there's literally a path behind you, and my eyes have got a habit of wanting
12:04to process every bit of information that there is, just to let you know I'm not at all
12:09being elsewhere.
12:10You're not bored by me?
12:11No, not at all.
12:12Absolutely not.
12:13Yeah, it's cool, as long as you don't let it distract you too much.
12:17There was literally a dog doing a wing up a tree behind you, sorry.
12:20Oh, dear, Stephen, with 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.
12:33That tree must stink a piss.
12:44Welcome back to Celebs Go Dating, where we are just a few hours away from tonight's first
12:49mixer, but back with pro green who saw a dog stopping by a tree, P-I-S-S-I-N
12:55-G.
12:56Where's my record deal?
12:58So, aside from DJing, what do you do?
13:00I write comedy for television.
13:02Wicked.
13:03Yeah.
13:03So, yeah, got some funnies on a few shows, making other comedians look funnier than they
13:09are.
13:09Oh, 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...
13:19Horses?
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?
13:30Absolutely not, no.
13:30What do you mean by, like, shake your hands?
13:32Like, I'll literally shake my hands when I get a lyric.
13:34Like, when I find that piece of the puzzle, it gives me an excitement that I don't really
13:39get 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.
13:44When 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 meet-up after all.
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.
14:12Hello, Celebrity Dating Agency.
14:14Hello, I'm here for the agency.
14:16Oh, 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 brought 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, Tom's office would look like
14:55Billingsgate and not just smell like it.
15:00Speaking of shit dates or shit meet-ups, whatever, back with Stephen with a PH.
15:07Have you seen these boats?
15:13Oh, it's called The Ship, isn't it?
15:15Yeah.
15:15That'll do it.
15:16Maritime Museum.
15:19Over there in Greenwich.
15:21Yes.
15:22Yes.
15:23Greenwich Mean Time.
15:25Yes.
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, they had to make you a model to
15:35some sort of scale.
15:36So some of these boats were actually...
15:37Oh, models for...?
15:39For people who bought the boats, yeah.
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.
15:51You'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 that.
15:55I mean, we could have shared one, couldn't we?
15:57Probably could, hang on.
15:58I mean, that would have been a bit...
15:59Next time, wee!
16:00That would have been...
16:00Hey, wee!
16:02Hold up!
16:02Is the big bad rapper blushing?
16:05Oh, he's lost four words to that.
16:07Sorry, he's blushing now.
16:08I don't know how, but Stevie's ship chat must have floated Viv's boat.
16:12I'm not just saying it, I actually have had a really nice time.
16:15Likewise.
16:17Shall we do splitsies?
16:18No, 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.
16:24Thank you so much.
16:26Shall we make a move?
16:27Yeah, let's do it.
16:28I've had a really nice time.
16:30Have you?
16:31Thank 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, but he navigated some choppy waters and set
16:41sail 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, and 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, just like a little bit
17:18of a belly twinge.
17:20That could just be your nuts tied up in your three-inch running shoes.
17:23I just need to think controlled impulsivity or something like that.
17:28So basically control my impulsions.
17:33The fucking word is.
17:36Yeah.
17:37Let'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.
17:47Hi, nice to meet you.
17:48Are you okay?
17:48Right, it's the moment of truth.
17:50Time 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.
18:12That's not boring.
18:13It 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.
18:24Nosy.
18:24I'm still getting used to a lot of, like, the English slang.
18:26Oh, God, yeah.
18:27And the accents, for sure.
18:29Like, 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.
18:37But 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.
18:50Please.
18:50Yeah.
18:50And then you can try and do mine.
18:52Ooh.
18:52Ooh.
18:53Right, what do you want me to say?
18:56Do you want me to just go for it?
18:57Just go for it.
18:57Okay.
19:01Want me to repair myself?
19:02Yeah, get in character.
19:03No, no, no, no, no, no.
19:06You all right, Dave?
19:07Right, okay.
19:08Mm-hmm.
19:10G'day there, I'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 prefer that to his normal accent.
19:20How was that?
19:21That was pretty good.
19:22I just got it in.
19:23I don't think I'd be able to do, like...
19:25The justice.
19:26Yeah.
19:26I think give it a go, though.
19:28Um...
19:28This could be interesting.
19:30Ooh, I 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, Davey's 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.
20:02At her first date, fisherman Johnny brought along a water-based wingman.
20:07Nobody's ever fetched you a goldfish.
20:08He also brought along some chat that truly sucked.
20:11I'd suck a fart out of your arse.
20:14Fit, haven't you?
20:15Which meant Gabs wasn't too keen to let her catch nearer.
20:18You get the idea.
20:19Little Johnny.
20:21Yes.
20:22And he's a gift from me to you, seeing as you sent me on a date with Big Johnny.
20:27What?
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.
20:39And I've watched Gary Lucy be sick on a yacht.
20:41I was really kind of apprehensive about my date, and I think I had every reason to be.
20:46He said some of the most outrageous things to me.
20:49Such as?
20:49Like what?
20:50I can't say it. Say it.
20:51I can't say it.
20:52Go on, say it.
20:53You two are ladies.
20:55Was it that bad?
20:57What was it about?
20:57He told me he wants to suck a fart out of my arse.
21:01Don't knock it till you're trying 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...
21:15I 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 of wasting my time?
21:24Ooh.
21:25So, were you expecting a husband right away?
21:29I mean, I wanted a husband years ago, hun.
21:32It's just not looking good.
21:34You know, you're going on a long journey here with the agency.
21:38Spot 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, admire 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 life.
21:57Mm-hmm.
21:57It's different.
21:58To move on, we need to know the past.
22:01Oh, God.
22:02I'll 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 a love island.
22:18And then I was with myself for a year.
22:23He cheated on me.
22:26And then...
22:27Oh, my God.
22:28It'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.
22:50Because I'm just like, oh, my God.
22:54It wasn't your fault.
23:08Welcome back to Celebsco Dating, where after Gabby's date with fisherman Johnny floundered, it's all got a bit emotional for
23:15the Love Island ledge, who's been opening up about her two-timing exes.
23:18Oh, bless her.
23:20You are so resilient.
23:23You'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.
23:39It can be very painful to show that level of vulnerability.
23:42But what I do know is that it can lead and will, I reckon with Gabby, lead to growth.
23:48You've gone through many infidelities.
23:51Mm-hmm.
23:52I would say statistically more than what an average person would have endured.
23:59Why 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 and 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?
24:21Yeah.
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?
24:49Mm...
24:50I don't know.
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 because 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.
25:26Um, because I know what is, I know what I deserve.
25:31I have tried to be better.
25:34I 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 self-conf-, that inner self-confidence, right?
25:45But real self-esteem, put 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, in your relationship world, going,
25:56I'm Gabby and I'm the full package.
25:59That's the work we need to change.
26:01Mm.
26:01Sound fair?
26:02Yeah.
26:03A healed version of Gabby.
26:05We have got you under our wing.
26:07We think you're incredible.
26:08Mm.
26:09And we are just really excited to see where we can help move you.
26:12Thanks, guys.
26:12Can we do a group hug?
26:14Yeah.
26:15Let's bring it in.
26:16Let's bring it in.
26:16Let's bring it in.
26:17Yeah.
26:18Mm.
26:19We love you.
26:20No more shady men.
26:21Yeah.
26:22Yeah.
26:23Stop dating, pricked.
26:25Should 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.
26:41Oh, 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.
26:55Back 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.
27:09Mm-hmm.
27:09So, have you been on many dates since you've been here in London?
27:13I haven't, actually.
27:14Okay.
27:14Yeah, I've been...
27:15Yeah, I've been, like, one or two.
27:17Okay.
27:18This is the third.
27:18Oh, okay.
27:19I'm going to be honest.
27:20The fact that Mark is so much shorter than me is kind of putting me off a little bit.
27:26But I'm going to try and look past it, okay?
27:29And I'm going to try and not let this affect the date, because he is fit.
27:33What's your go-to?
27:34Like, what's your normal type, if you have one?
27:37Normal type is funny.
27:39What about you?
27:40What do you usually go for?
27:41So, as, like, a person...
27:43Yep, strictly 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.
27:58Okay, yes, yeah.
27:59Okay?
28:00Mm-hmm.
28:00So, I'm broadening my horizon.
28:02Lucky me.
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 in some heels.
28:15Erm...
28:16I like tall.
28:17Looking fresh.
28:19That's a massive tick for you.
28:20Yeah, thank you.
28:20You look fresh to death.
28:21Thank you, thank you.
28:22Yeah, for sure.
28:23If you put a pair of heels on, it's done.
28:25It's exciting, dude.
28:27Brilliant, brilliant.
28:28Just as long as you're done with this height banter.
28:31How tall are you?
28:32Oh, for fuck's sake.
28:33Ooh, erm, 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 gonna get sunburned.
28:55Do you know what I mean?
28:57Yeah, don't get too close to the sun, though, David.
28:59You'll end up like that Greek fella.
29:00What's his name?
29:01The one with the wings.
29:02Oh, never mind.
29:03No 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.
29:13To the left.
29:14Take it back now, y'all.
29:15It's superstar DJ James Haskell.
29:18Right foot, left foot.
29:19Left foot, left foot.
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.
29:29Take it back now, y'all.
29:30One hop this time.
29:32One hop this time.
29:34We need wider door frames for you.
29:36How are you?
29:37You all?
29:38I'll be right.
29:39You're doing fantastic, yeah.
29:41Oh, 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.
29:48Who was the one who flew too near the sun?
29:50Icarus.
29:51Icarus, yeah.
29:52Icarus!
29:52That'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.
30:23Back at his date with Mark, David's delivering a masterclass in first aid technique slash getting
30:28hammered.
30:29Delete where applicable.
30:31Ooh.
30:32There goes a spritz.
30:34I just thought I'd chuck it back, you know.
30:38Ooh.
30:39That's the Narvan.
30:40No drop wasting.
30:41Well, he's just trying to get his money's worth.
30:43Speaking of which, isn't it about time you got the bill?
30:46Here we go, guys.
30:47Thank you so much, my love.
30:51What's up, David?
30:52Come out without your bank card again.
30:53Don't worry, I'm sure they do Apple Pay.
30:58I'll get this.
30:58No.
30:59Are you sure?
31:00My pleasure.
31:02That's one advantage, you're not wearing trousers, no pockets for your wallet.
31:05Smart.
31:06Perfect.
31:07Would you like your receipt with that?
31:08Ah, no, that's fine.
31:08All right.
31:09Thank you so much.
31:10Have a good rest of your day, guys.
31:11Thank you so much.
31:12So, how'd you find the date?
31:14Hmm.
31:15Instant face-to-face date feedback.
31:17This could be awkward, and I'm here for it.
31:20Yeah.
31:20Yeah, it was lovely.
31:22It was definitely lovely.
31:23I think you're really lovely.
31:24Um, lovely person.
31:26Great energy.
31:27Great chat.
31:28What about you?
31:29Uh, 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.
31:35Yeah.
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, I'll have a little think about it.
31:50Yeah, no worries.
31:50I'll have a little think, my darling.
31:52Ah, yes.
31:53The old treat them, non-committal after calling them little approach.
31:56Classic potsy.
31:58Oh, he is wearing trousers.
32:00Yes, thank 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.
32:11Oh, Jesus.
32:12Oh, wow.
32:12That's...
32:13Oh, it's raining.
32:14Oh, 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 tell you what, when he does trousers, he fucking does trousers.
32:27Look at them.
32:27So when I walked in and saw Mark, I thought, wow.
32:32And then he stood up and I was like, wow, but so stunning.
32:38Sometimes stunning things come in small packages.
32:41And sometimes small packages come in stunning things.
32:44But it's rare, take it from me.
32:45So maybe someone with a little bit more oomph and a few more inches.
32:52Wouldn't go amiss.
32:56Ooh, that's disgusting, I'm joking.
32:59No, he's not.
33:03Back at the agency, ex-rugby slash superstar DJ James Haskell
33:07is heading up to see Anna and Paul,
33:09who will be keen to find out whether his date with Kitten went well
33:12or he just went home to flank.
33:16Come on in.
33:18Oh, no.
33:19No.
33:21James, it's good to see you.
33:23Hass kicked off his agency experience with Kitten,
33:26who may have been keen to get her claws into him.
33:29People have always told me that they can imagine me
33:31with a rugby player.
33:32Oh, really?
33:33But a conflap with Colleen confirmed he wasn't in the mood
33:36for dancing or making sexy music.
33:39I probably need someone a bit more mature than that,
33:42a bit more kind of worldly wise.
33:45The 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,
33:52a romantic spark for me in that sense.
33:54She was very attractive.
33:57There was lots of things we sort of talked about.
33:59OK.
34:00All right.
34:01Good feedback.
34:01So, we asked Kitten,
34:03in your opinion, what did James do right on your date?
34:07I feel like he was a gent.
34:09Always checking in to see if I'm OK.
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
34:28two and a half years with Chloe.
34:30I'm very aware that I do not want to do anything in front of Chloe
34:34and I don't want to rub anything into her face.
34:39I think people in the press, they look for kind of nefarish reasons.
34:43It puts pressure on the person you're with.
34:44It puts pressure on you.
34:45We didn't take this lightly.
34:47You know, a couple was terrible.
34:48We 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?
35:12Welcome back to Celebs Go Dating,
35:14where the agents want to know if rugger-bugger James Haskell
35:17got into a scrum with another hun during his time with Chloe.
35:21Was there an effect?
35:25Take 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.
35:39And I probably needed to be more there for Chloe
35:40when 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
35:47to be where we are now than it was before.
35:49It doesn't sound like there was one massive catalyst
35:52for the relationship breakdown.
35:53You have a child.
35:54You throw careers into the mix.
35:57One in five couples break up within the first 12 months
35:59of having a baby.
36:00Lucky bastards.
36:01I want to be really respectful
36:02because 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
36:11if 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.
36:26The stakes are so much higher.
36:27And it is about juggling all these balls.
36:30All right, you can ease back on the rugby puns now.
36:32And I think just to reassure you, we will never do anything
36:35to jeopardise your relationship with your ex,
36:40with your daughter, with your family.
36:42But if you do snog someone, we'll put it on the telly.
36:45Just saying.
36:46I think it's very, very important for you to know
36:51that respecting your ex doesn't mean erasing your desire.
36:57Yep.
36:58Here we go.
36:59Lock the door.
36:59Shut the curtains.
37:00We're getting deep.
37:01I think part of that also will impact your dates
37:05because you want there to be clarity from the datey's standpoint
37:11that you are here to date.
37:13Hmm.
37:14Surely going on the date is a bit of a giveaway,
37:16but maybe that's just me.
37:18And I think you being clear in terms of what you're seeking,
37:22even if it's not with this particular person,
37:24kitten in this case, I think is very, very important.
37:26Brian, you 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,
37:33how the hell does this all work for me now?
37:36And we will help you with that, okay?
37:38And I want you to maybe just,
37:39just let out a little bit of that control
37:42and give it over to us.
37:43Fine, fine.
37:44Okay?
37:45The best environment to allow James to relinquish is a mixer.
37:50Oh, yeah.
37:51That's the best environment right there.
37:52Oh, yeah.
37:52Oh, and you are going to be a mixer maestro.
37:55Yes.
37:55I'm just asked 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.
38:04And we just can't wait.
38:05Not like a school disco,
38:05trying to kiss how many people you can kiss.
38:07No, no, no.
38:08I'm joking.
38:09I'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?
38:14Of course you can, yeah.
38:15Right.
38:15Of course you can.
38:16Mind the dicky leg.
38:17Mind the dicky leg.
38:18And the leggy dick.
38:19The shoulder, 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
38:37as they cast them adrift in a pool of sexy singles.
38:43We've got Tom polishing big balls, we've got champers, we'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, stop walking in slow motion.
38:55We've got a mixer to do.
38:58Oh, love!
38:59Oh, love!
38:59Oh, love!
39:00Tee!
39:00Figgity, chic, chic!
39:02Well, backhand you, kid.
39:03Oh, love.
39:05No, no.
39:06Silly old character.
39:08Oh, love.
39:10Oh, love.
39:10Oh, love.
39:10Tee, this is exceptional.
39:12This is an amazing mix and we haven't even got started there.
39:15It puts a lot of spring in my step, this.
39:17Oh, ooh!
39:18It makes me bounce.
39:20Love.
39:20All right, calm down.
39:21You've rattled the IB for final boss fan club over there.
39:24All right, Tee, do you have our special station set up?
39:27Yes, there's an alcove through there.
39:30Okay.
39:31We 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.
40:00Ooh, 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 shrug my stuff, find my Mr. I, or if not, just get pissed with a lot
40:29of sexy boys.
40:30Hi guys! You all okay?
40:33Right, first of all, who's gay and who's not?
40:36Have we got the gays here?
40:38Okay, sorry everyone, I'm just...
40:40There's no point in me wasting my time.
40:43David is having a ball.
40:44Yes.
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?
40:53Just 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.
41:06Underestimate 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.
41:18Hi.
41:19What's your name?
41:20I'm Rhys.
41:21You 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?
41:3327.
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.
41:49I got distracted by the man mounting who put the R in rugby and the beat in my heart.
41:55Because 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, I can also be open
42:12to dating, which is some great advice.
42:14Have you got any party tricks?
42:16There's not going to be one.
42:16I can flex my chest.
42:18I'm too much of a gentleman to look, right?
42:20Okay.
42:20They just pop.
42:21Well done.
42:22Well done.
42:22Happy to meet you.
42:23It's nice to meet you as well.
42:25I can't.
42:26You can't do 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?
42:36People, I'm really looking forward to this mixer.
42:39I'm a bit of a social butterfly and I'm looking forward to getting to know all of the spunky
42:44guys in the space.
42:45Cheers, everybody.
42:46Cheers.
42:47Oh my gosh.
42:48You guys are easing my nerves.
42:51Don't be nervous.
42:51It's a lot.
42:52We feel more nervous around you than you're going to have us, you know?
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 mixer.
43:13Forced 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.
43:22I 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 mixer.
43:34But hang on.
43:35Who's that sashaying down the stairs?
43:38That's a rhetorical question because I know it's Colleen.
43:41And 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.
43:53In you go anyway.
43:54Try to make the most of it.
43:55All the best.
43:56Oh, hello.
43:57Nice to meet you.
43:58Lovely to meet you.
43:59Mwah.
43:59Mwah.
44:00Are you very nervous?
44:01Yes.
44:02I feel so young.
44:03I know what you mean.
44:06Well, you look great.
44:07Like, whatever age you are, you look great.
44:10Ooh, who's this silver-tongued charmer?
44:12I know.
44:12Age is just a number.
44:14It really is.
44:14I certainly don't feel my age, but equally...
44:18There's practicalities.
44:19Oh, there's practicalities.
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
44:28of things.
44:29What's the usual type?
44:30Younger guys, older guys?
44:31I always just seem to let it dig younger guys.
44:34Yeah.
44:35But I don't know.
44:36I'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...
44:47I don't know.
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.
44:58Do 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.
45:05And then these lads start talking to me about their red flags and how they don't want
45:09a girl to be shy or to be awkward.
45:12And I'm stuck there being shy and awkward.
45:15It's nice to meet yous, though.
45:16Yeah, yeah, you too.
45:16See you, you too, you too.
45:17Hopefully you'll see you around.
45:18Better get around.
45:18Yeah, see you in.
45:19Nice to meet yous.
45:19Better get around too.
45:20Take care.
45:21Bye.
45:21Hope you get another drink.
45:22Yes.
45:23Thanks.
45:23Okay, where do I go now?
45:25This is daunting.
45:27Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
45:27I don't know what's going on here with Gabby.
45:29I'm so stressed.
45:31I literally don't know what to do.
45:35Oh, she's looking a bit stressed.
45:37I feel like...
45:38Am I talking to too many people?
45:41It's confusing me.
45:43I don't know.
45:43I'm so confused.
45:44This is very stressful.
45:50Oh, shit.
45:52This is how...
45:57Tomorrow night.
45:58You are outrageous.
45:59I love it.
46:00It's Mixageddon.
46:02Is it?
46:04Five minutes for you.
46:05This is hurt.
46:08As a celeb.
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!
46:17After that whole exchange,
46:18it came across as very rude.
46:21How?
