Celebrity Big Brother star is late shock signing for Celebs Go Dating – and vows to WALK OUT if match is boring
SHE’S not long been out of the Celebrity Big Brother house, but now Donna Preston has joined another reality series.
The comedian is a late signing to the latest series of E4’s Celebs Go Dating.
Donna will appear alongside The Chase’s Mark Labbett, S Club 7’s Jon Lee, Love Island’s Olivia Hawkins, Sam Prince from Made In Chelsea and Too Hot To Handle’s Louis Russell.
She completes the line-up following the exit of Christine McGuinness, who, after a few days, realised she wasn’t yet ready to date in the public eye.
She said: “I’m buzzing to be joining the show and to finally crack the code on what men really want, besides snacks and not being asked what they’re thinking.
“I’m intrigued to meet new people, but let’s be honest, if a date’s boring, I won’t waste anyone’s time.

"Life’s too short to sit through tales of someone’s coin collection, I’ll be gone before the starter arrives.”
The Apocalypse Wow host was previously tipped to take part in the E4 dating show before joining Celebrity Big Brother last month.
An insider told me at the time: “Donna was toying with dipping her toe in the dating pool on TV and had been in talks with bosses on the E4 show, but then she was also offered CBB.
“She felt it was the better career move.”

CHERRY SOLD ON PADDY
PADDY MCGUINNESS is a man in demand – but his co-host Cherry Healey is not surprised.
He was already filming Channel 4 reality series Tempting Fortune when he added the BBC’s Inside The Factory to his roster after replacing Gregg Wallace.
Earlier this year, Paddy and Cherry made their debut together on the BBC Two series – which takes a deep dive into the making of some of the nation’s favourite snacks – and are due to return for another run later this year.
Cherry said: “I can see why he’s at the top of his game, because you give him a script and he works with it really fast, he just knows how to ‘Paddify’ it. He’s really good at everything.”
She added: “We’ve got a couple of abroad trips coming up for the show. It’s utterly delicious, don’t be hungry when you watch it.”
RETURN A ’SAUR THING
AFTER a quarter of a century, hit BBC science series Walking With Dinosaurs is returning to our screens, packed full of new discoveries.
But even with the latest science, palaeontologist Dr Nizar Ibrahim, who features on the show, says there is no way of creating a real-life Jurassic Park.
He said: “With dinosaurs, the genetic material isn’t in the state we need to bring them back.
“Though, dinosaurs haven’t really become extinct – birds are surviving dinosaurs.”
Walking With Dinosaurs airs on Sunday at 6.25pm on BBC One.
DELAYED ITV comedy C*A*U*G*H*T will finally hit screens from June 1.
