Now The Sun can exclusively reveal ‘King of Ibiza’ Wayne, 63, agreed to film some scenes while they were there. 

An insider said: “Bosses thought it would be really fun to bring Wayne back to film some scenes while the gang were out in Ibiza. 

“He is a Celebs Go Dating legend and also the King of Ibiza, so it made sense to shoot a cameo with him while the show was filming on the party isle. 

“Wayne isn’t dating this time around, sadly, but he gave the celebs some advice from his time on the show which will make for some funny viewing. 

“None of the cast knew he would be filming so it was a great surprise.”

During his first time on the show, Wayne left viewers stunned when he made a revelation about his dating history.

Wayne isn’t the only last-minute line-up change of the series, after Christine McGuinness quit the show days into filming.

In a statement, Christine said: “I joined Celebs Go Dating with great intentions but have realised that dating on a public platform and the attention that brings is just too soon for me.

“They’ve said the door is always open for me, which I’m so grateful for, but for now I’m returning home to my family.”


Christine signed up for the show following her public split from ex-husband Paddy, 51, in 2022.
