Celebs Go Dating star Paul Carrick Brunson has admitted that he didn’t know who the stars were in the latest series of the E4 show.
The 46-year-old love doctor discussed the return of the celebrity dating show in an appearance on Lorraine this morning.
The hit E4 series will see a new batch of frisky stars looking for love from 9 pm on Monday (January 17).
But, Paul Carrick Brunson said he had “no idea” who this year’s cast members were, with a line-up including presenter and columnist Ulrika Jonsson and Towie star Chloe Brockett.
Host Lorraine Kelly asked: “Were you surprised by the celebrities? Do they surprise you? Because we see them in a completely different light.”

Paul replied: “What's interesting is, because I come from the United States, I have no idea who any of the celebrities are.
“No idea. When I walked in I remember the person who drove me in said, I can't wait to see what happens with Ulrika. I don't know.”
This year’s cast also includes The Apprentice star Ryan-Mark Parsons, Made in Chelsea’s Miles Nazaire, For Five star Abz Love and reality TV star Nikita Jasmine.
Channel 4 has promised this season will be the most dramatic series yet as the renowned London-based dating agency is back with a makeover.
The series will feature new challenges, memorable dating outings and more chances for celebs to find the one.
