Anna Williamson has promised fans of Celebs Go Dating they can expect the latest series to be "bigger and better" than ever.
The TV presenter and dating agent revealed the E4 show, which returns tonight, has pushed the boundaries further than ever before - and admitted songstress Sinitta challenged the experts on a number of occasions.
Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Anna, 41, says fans can expect a number of twists, turns and awkward moments as the latest batch of famous faces try their luck in love.
Among those taking part is pop star Sinitta and Anna confessed she tested the agency and questioned their advice.
She said: "Sometimes the celebrities question our advice and they want to challenge us on that. Sinitta challenges us and that can be a moment where we do have to manage it well."

Joining Sinitta on the show is actor Gary Lucy, Love Island's Liam Reardon and Laura Anderson, and Tinder Swindler victim Cecilie Fjellhoy, while TOWIE's Pete Wicks returns for a third time.
Geordie Shore's Bethan Kershaw has also requested the agency's help, as has The Apprentice's Navid Sole.
And Anna was full of praise for the latest group, gushing: "This is genuinely one of the strongest series I think we've ever done of Celebs Go Dating. It really does get bigger and better than ever and I think what fans can expect is the Celebs Go Dating they know and love where it's able to fire on all cylinders."

The Relationship Place co-founder went on to explain how the stars have been able to film their finale abroad now they are free of Covid restrictions following a number of cut-back series in recent years.
She added: "The celebrities really commit themselves to the dating process and we have made some very, very good couples."
While Anna was coy on the final outcome for the famous faces, she admitted they had all been on an emotional journey to make them better daters.

She continued: "We really pushed our celebs this time. We thought now is the time to keep evolving and we've got to keep testing them more than ever."
In situations never seen before, Anna revealed the group is removed from the agency for the first time in the show's history and teased there are a number of "tricks and challenges" used by the experts to try to help the group's dating game - including a secret room in the agency which gives the dating power to the celebs.
Brand new Celebs Go Dating returns Monday November 28 at 10pm on E4, every weeknight.
