Overview

• In limited clips aired August 11–13, McGuinness confirmed she has dated women since her 2022 separation and refuses to adopt a specific sexual orientation label.
• She told the show’s experts that her marriage foundered after “the trust was broken,” and admitted she still carries guilt for having initiated the split.
• Diagnosed with autism and ADHD in her late thirties, she described overwhelming anxiety about public dating, saying it “scares me so much” before walking away from the show’s Ibiza mixer.
• Although she withdrew days into filming, producers have said the door remains open for her to return to Celebs Go Dating in a future series.
• Meanwhile, tabloid reports of past romantic links and the slow sale of the couple’s £6.5 million Prestbury mansion have continued to intensify the privacy challenges she cited.
