The real reason Tallia Storm signed up to Celebs Go Dating

Tallia Storm has revealed the real reason she signed up to Celebs Go Dating.

And it’s not just about finding ‘the one’.

The singer revealed this week: “I’ve only gone down the TV route as I’ve just brought out an album… I view this as promotion.”

She told the Daily star newspaper: “It’s not like I’ve joined Made In Chelsea or TOWIE, it is a one off show not a continuing series.

“It is exactly what I wanted to show people my funny, banter personality.”

Teasing what’s to come from the series, airing nightly on E4, Tallia continued: “On my first date I came across sassy as I wasn’t into the guy at all. The trouble is when I fancy someone I become a mute and I get really awkward.

“It gets cut down to 15 minutes but these dates are actually three hours long.”

And she said taking part on the show had prompted a lot of musical inspiration.

“I’ve been writing some of the best songs I have ever done over the past three months of filming just because I have had so many mixed emotions,” Tallia explained. “I’ve 100% been writing about people on the show.

“They wouldn’t know it was about them but maybe if it wins a Grammy I will tell them.”

Celebs Go Dating continues tonight at 9PM on E4.

In this evening’s episode, Comedian London Hughes has some fun with a huge wrestler on a date in Wales. Competition heats up between Jade Jones and Tallia as they battle it out for the same guy. Meanwhile, Ollie is sent on two dates.
