Series chronology

The third series of the British reality dating programme Celebs Go Dating began airing from 4 September 2017 on E4 and finished on 29 September 2017. It was commissioned along with series 2 in late 2016. The show sees celebrities go on number of dates with members of the public to see if they can find love. The third series again stars Eden Blackman and Nadia Essex as the dating experts, and Tom Read Wilson as the agency's receptionist.

An episode that was due to be aired on 15 September 2017 did not air, seemingly pulled from broadcast moments before its scheduled starting time. The show's social media accounts even posted the trailer for the evening's episode hours before airing. An E4 spokesman cited "editorial reasons" and said the show would return on 18 September.[1] Scenes from the pulled episode were broadcast on 18 September. The series was also cut down from 20 episodes to 19 episodes.[2]

On 27 September 2017, Blackman confirmed that the show had been renewed for a fourth series, set to air in 2018.[3]

Production

A third series was announced alongside the second series in November 2016.[4] It was filmed over three months.[3] Nadia Essex and Eden Blackman returned as the dating experts, along with receptionist Tom Read Wilson.[5] Psychologist Dr. Pam Spurr helped the celebrities get in touch with their feelings and analyse their body language.[6] The series features same-sex relationships for the first time, as well as blind and silent dating.[5] Celebs Go Dating began airing from 4 September 2017 for four weeks.[5]

The Only Way Is Essex cast member Bobby Norris was confirmed to be appearing in the series in May 2017. He previously made a brief appearance at the end of the second series.
