Chris Hughes Also Withdraws From Celebs Go Dating

Christine McGuinness quit Celebs Go Dating shortly after filming began in Ibiza, stating it was too soon to date publicly after her divorce from Paddy McGuinness, and producers have expressed support for her decision. Her exit was influenced by concerns over media scrutiny and its impact on her family, despite having enjoyed her initial time on the show. Chris Hughes, initially rumored to replace Christine, has also decided to withdraw from the show after reflecting on his Celebrity Big Brother experience and public speculation about his friendship with JoJo Siwa. Olivia Hawkins and Louis Russell are reportedly developing a close connection on set, while the show's new Ibiza location has increased on-screen chemistry among cast members. Chris Hughes has since taken on a presenting role on ITV's This Morning. Producers have left the possibility open for both Christine and Chris to return to Celebs Go Dating in the future.
