Celebs Go Dating is airing a special virtual spin-off this summer.
Celebs Go Virtual Dating will see the dating skills of four celebrities put to the test.
E4 says the new spin-off “will bring all the dating drama of its sister show, but with the added challenges of video vetting love matches and trying to find that spark on a socially distanced date.
“How will our frisky four fare when getting up close and personal is off the table? Will they still excel in turning on the charm, or buckle under the remote pressure?”

Anna Williamson added: “I’m so excited to get the agency back up and running. We are really intrigued to see what dating looks like during this time, and looking forward to seeing how our date-ees handle dating in lockdown.”
Head of Unscripted Content for programme makers Lime Pictures Sarah Tyekiff said: “We are so excited to bring Celebs Go Virtual Dating to people’s screens.
