Rapper Professor Green (real name Stephen Manderson) brings his distinctive personality to the dating scene at age 42.

After his marriage to Millie Mackintosh ended in divorce and his subsequent separation from fiancée Karima McAdams in 2024, he's ready to explore new romantic possibilities. He remarked: 'I’m 42 and single, not something I ever thought I’d be. But then there were times when I didn’t think I’d be 42 and alive so onwards and….onwards.'
Loose Women panellist Coleen Nolan, 60, returns to dating following her split from boyfriend Michael Jones. Their on-off relationship, which began in 2021 after meeting on Tinder, ultimately ended in 2024. Now seeking romantic success through professional help, Coleen shared: 'I am so excited to be joining the agency I really would love to meet someone so I’m hoping the agents will be able to help me with that because so far, I’ve not been very good at it myself. So, fingers crossed for me!'

Agents, it’s time to find me a husband!'

I’m at a stage in my life where I have a clear sense of who I am and what I want, which feels great. I’m looking forward to meeting amazing people, having some fun, and hopefully creating something meaningful through the experience.'
Australian television personality Lucinda Light, who gained fame on Married At First Sight Australia, ventures into UK dating after her marriage on the show failed to develop romantically.
