Donna Preston appeared on the latest series of Celebs Go Dating, but she didn’t manage to find love while taking part in the show; instead, she miraculsouly met somebody after filming
Celebs Go Dating star Donna Preston has shared her secret romance after meeting her new man just days after the show ended. The actress appeared on the latest series of the show but didn’t find love while taking part.
The 39-year-old joined the series late, but she still tried to find the one. But it wasn’t until after she left the agency that she managed to meet her new man.
It was at the glamourous wrap party that Donna came face to face with her new boyfriend for the first time. She has now opened up and said that she has managed to couple up with a true gentleman.

Donna spoke to The Sun ahead of the release of psychological horror-thriller The Nice Ones, where she talked about her new romance. She said: “It was such a laugh. I didn’t meet anyone on the show, but afterwards I ended up meeting a man in Marbella.
“At first, I thought I’d bagged a billionaire — but no, he’s just the most chivalrous man I’ve ever met. And honestly, it’s not about yachts or champagne. For me, it’s the little things: watching the sunset on the beach, those perfect quiet moments together.”
Earlier this year, Donna became a fan favourite on Celebrity Big Brother, where she went on to form a close friendship with Drag Race star Danny Beard.
Jack P Shepherd went on to win the series but it also gave Donna a step into the reality world. But even before taking part, she knew that reality TV wouldn’t affect her successful acting career.
She said: “I don’t really see them as opposing worlds. For me, it’s all storytelling — whether it’s drama, comedy, or reality TV.
“Audiences are smart; they know people can wear different hats. I actually love the freedom of being able to show different sides of myself: the actor, the comedian, and the woman just being human on reality shows. In many ways, they all feed into one another.”
The next series of Big Brother is due to hit our screens at the end of the month, with Donna hinting that she might be seen on the spin-off chat show Late & Live.
The most recent season of Celebs Go Dating is arguably one of the most successful, with some people finding love through the agency.
Not one, but two celebrities found love with clients on the agents’ books, and are still going strong months after filming.
Kerry Katona and Jon Lee both found love with their new partners right in front of their eyes. The two of them can often be seen on social media showing off their new romances.
