A Celebs Go Dating star has d!ed after a protracted illness.
For people who don’t know what the show is about on TV, A group of stars has to meet people from the common public in order to find love.
Professional matchmakers from the dating firm place them with people who are most compatible on paper, which makes connections seem more likely.
It seems like the perfect prescription for success to have professional advice and dates that are a good fit, but that’s not often the case.
Sadly, a TV star who became famous as a relationship coach on the hit show has d!ed.
Family members of the first dating coach wrote on Instagram this morning (June 24, 2017) to share the terrible news.
In 2016, Eden Blackman, who is now 57, hosted the show. He quit after a disagreement in March.
After leaving the show, the actor and his co-star Nadia Essex got into a legal battle after she sued him and the show’s producers for gender-based discrimination and harassment.
After that, she made a bunch of fake X (previously Twitter) profiles to bother Eden and makeup stories about his personal life.
She admitted to trolling and taking responsibility for her actions, but she said her mental state was to blame for what she did because of the hostility she had to deal with while working for Celebs Go Dating for two years.
