After it was found that Adam Collard and Lottie Moss slept together, the Celebs Go Dating agents left them hanging.
Despite signing up to the programme to be paired with possible suitors by experts, the former Love Island star, 27, and model, 25, swiftly took matters into their own hands and chose to declare their interest in each other early on.
While whispers about their apparent romance have been circulating for months, the two were forced to confess on the reality show, each individually disclosing on last night’s episode that they’d spent the night together following a dating event put on to assist the celebs meet other people.
The experts were not thrilled, with one even calling Adam a ‘d***head’ following his admission.
On Thursday’s episode, after each of the famous faces, which included presenter Vanessa Feltz, former Islander Chloe Burrows, comedian and internet personality Spuddz, and Made in Chelsea’s Mark-Francis Vandelli, received feedback in person from dates, Lottie was told to stand up in front of the group and share what had happened between her and Adam.
Lottie questioned ‘why’ and claimed she was’scared’ as she realised she was going to be thrust into the limelight, while Adam appeared resigned to the knowledge that he was about to be drawn into the unfolding drama.

Almost instantly suspecting what had occurred, the other renowned faces gasped, but also appeared to be struggling not to laugh.
After being reminded by agent Paul Carrick Brunson, who said that each had ‘come to the agency this week and told us…’, Lottie jumped in and exclaimed: ‘F*** off, why are you doing this to me right now.’
‘You told us that you both spent the night together,’ he continued.
‘Oh, Jesus Christ why did you do this to me,’ she repeated, while Adam just looked dumbfounded.
The couple was then required to ‘explain’ their relationship and inform the guy and girl they’d chosen to go on additional dates about what happened.
Despite the awkwardness, their dates took it in stride and expressed their want to see Adam and Lottie again, although they were displeased with what they’d just learned.
However, as agent Anna Williamson stated, dating was “all about honesty and respect,” and while they didn’t mind the celebrity pair “exploring each other,” they didn’t like that it was kept a secret.
Lottie revealed details about her growing affair with Adam after confirming their relationship last week, saying her partner was ‘soppy’ and enjoyed cuddling.
‘When I first saw Adam I was like, “Nah, he’s not my type. Literally not my type at all” and then bam’, she recalled while appearing on Chloe’s Chloe Vs The Word podcast.
She went on to say they had a ‘special connection’.
Celebs Go Dating continues Monday at 9pm on Channel 4.
