He's joining another reality TV show!
Love Island and Big Brother star Chris Hughes is reportedly being lined up for Celebs Go Dating.
He'll be replacing Christine McGuinness, who revealed on Instagram this week that she had backed out because it felt "too soon" to be dating publicly following her separation from presenter Paddy McGuinness in 2022 after 11 years of marriage. The former couple also co-parent three children - twins Penelope and Leo, 11, and eight-year-old Felicity.
She wrote: "I joined Celebs Go Dating with great intentions but have realised that dating on a public platform and the attention is brings is just too soon for me. They've said the door is always open for me which I'm so grateful but for now I'm returning home to my family."
A spokesperson for the show added: "We have loved having Christine on the show and completely respect her feelings and decision to return home and have told her that the door is always open for her in the future at the agency."

Now, according to The Sun, producers are keen to secure Chris as her replacement.
It follows his much-publicised stint on Celebrity Big Brother last month, where he became close with fellow housemate Jojo Siwa. Since their exit, the two have insisted that their bond is simply platonic.
A TV insider said: "This is set to be a great coup for Celebs Go Dating. The agents will be eager to get to know the real truth about Chris and what he is looking for following his connection with JoJo."
Joining Chris on the show this year will be Kerry Katona, S Club 7 star Jon Lee, Mark 'The Beast' Labbett from The Chase, Too Hot To Handle's Louis Russell and Love Island All Stars contestant Olivia Hawkins.
