Chloe, 27, left the Spanish villa in 2021 with Toby Aromolaran, after they were runners-up in the contest. Their split hit the headlines in October, so this time Chloe wants to keep her love life out of the spotlight.
“I wouldn’t want someone who is so public and shares a lot of their life,” she says. “If it doesn’t work out, you have to go through a public break-up, which is literally the worst thing I have been through.

Chloe arrives on the show alongside Made In Chelsea’s Mark-Francis Vandelli, model Lottie Moss, comedian Spuddz and TV presenter Vanessa Feltz.
While Chloe admits to hitting the gym hard before Love Island, she decided not to take the same approach with Celebs Go Dating.
“Before Love Island I put myself in boot camp. But for this, no. I like Deliveroo too much. I need to get my lie-ins,” she says. “I don’t want to be serious. I just want to have a laugh.”
That said, the influencer is “really nervous” about diving into her romantic past with the dating coaches. “It will be the first time I have spoken about my relationships. On Love Island I managed to get away without talking about it. The Celebs Go Dating experience is a lot more intense. I might take a lot more away from it.”
