Celebs Go Dating reveals Eden Blackman's replacement
Celebs Go Dating will be back for more match-making and dates from hell this autumn, but one dating guru who won't be there to advise the celebs this year is Eden Blackman.
E4 has now announced who will be joining Nadia Essex and Junior Client Co-Ordinator Tom Read-Wilson in the celebrity dating agency for its upcoming fifth season – and he's certainly got a lot of experience under his belt.
Paul Carrick Brunson, founder of award-winning matchmaking firm PCB Agency, is set to join the show for its new series and it sounds like he's the perfect match for the next group of celeb singletons.
Not only is he an advisory board member of the Matchmaking Institute, the oldest professional matchmaking professional organisation, he is also the founder of The Black Love Industry Professionals.
Paul has written several dating books and appeared on shows such as Good Morning America, The TODAY Show and the Oprah Winfrey Network.
In fact, Oprah herself called him "much more than a matchmaker" after he co-hosted Oprah Winfrey's Lovetown, USA with her.
It certainly seems like he has the credentials of a master matchmaker, so those celebs will be in safe hands.
I’m excited about this for 3 reasons:
1) @LadyNadiaEssex & @TomReadWilson are brilliant.
2) I love 🇬🇧
3) Helping people is a passion. So why not do it on one of the 🔥🔥🔥 shows on TV. https://t.co/AgtNpVJMqy- Paul Carrick Brunson (@PaulCBrunson) July 19, 2018
Paul has tweeted about his excitement at the prospect of joining the show, revealing that "Lady Nadia Essex and Tom Read Wilson are brilliant" and that he loves the UK. He also said that "helping people is a passion".
Eden quit the show in March, announcing on Twitter: "I'm immensely proud of the show's success but after four great series, it's now time for me to fully commit to my other projects.
"I'm thankful to everyone at Lime Pictures and C4 for the opportunity, I've had a great time and following the best rated series to date, wish them nothing but more success for the show moving forwards."
We'll get to see the brand new batch of celebs looking for love – and watch Paul in action – later this year on E4.
