EXCLUSIVE: In the episode tonight, Anna Williamson discusses Christine McGuinness’ decision to leave Celebs Go Dating.
Tonight, Celebs Go Dating viewers will see Christine McGuinness leave the agency after an emotional chat with dating experts, Anna Williamson and Paul C Brunson.
Christine left the dating service last week, but episodes one and two made it abundantly clear that she was struggling. The mother of three had to choose who to travel to Ibiza, we saw. The leave-the-process, according to Anna, was the “powerful decision” Christine made.
In last night’s episode, Christine was told she’d be going on a blind date, although she told the cameras she “hated surprises,” and tonight, it looks like it all gets to much for her as she makes the “brave” decision to quit. It comes after Christine McGuinness says ‘it’s my fault’ and reveals surprising truth behind Paddy split.
Now, dating expert Anna Williamson has spoken to the Mirror on the shock moment she found out Christine would be leaving.
Although it appeared Christine was only working for a week before making the decision to leave, Anna confirmed that this wasn’t the case. The dating expert claimed that the actress “really worked on herself” both on and off the screen as a result of her “brave” decision to quit.
“Every moment counts when you’re in the agency,” she said, adding that Christine spent a good few weeks with us. It was “really lovely to get to know her,” according to the host, and this is what makes the show so unique: it is authentic.
No one else but Christine, nor any of us, could have predicted that she would enter the process unprepared for what she was doing at the time.
“And often we only know that only those who can make those decisions when we start to work on ourselves, and that’s what Christine did and it was very brave of her.”
Anna and Paul were shocked to learn the news, who had not known about it until she had spoken with them during a scene planned for tonight’s show.
We didn’t know until the scene where you’ll find us, Anna said. We as coaches realized that she found the process challenging because everyone finds it difficult. That was put in even more spotlight by Ibiza.
The agents were obviously sad to see her leave, but Anna claimed she and Paul applauded the star’s “brave” choice to leave.
She came to us to tell us that she had decided it wasn’t the right time, which was brave. That was absolutely applauded by Paul and me. That is always the best way for our clients to lead us as coaches. We’re just helping them stay on the right path for them while they’re in the driving seat.
During her two weeks at the agency, Christine was extremely open about her past, opening up about the reasoning behind her split with Paddy for the first time. Christine once again opened up to the agents, as she revealed that ‘the trust was broken’ in her marriage.
Anna believes that speaking up during the emotional exchange helped her progress.
It’s really important for us to identify where our clients are on the journey and determine whether we can help them any further in releasing any pain, she said.
The couple who wed in 2011, made a shock announcement in 2022, that they had decided to go their separate ways.
“Working through our previous relationships and healing and vocalizing absolutely makes you feel much more whole and in a more deliberate state of mind,” Anna continued.
She was very generous in allowing her to drop her walls and trust us by telling us exactly what had caused her relationship breakdown, and it was obviously very emotional to talk about.
Christine left the show, with her head raised, and the door will always be open should she ever want to go back, according to Anna and the other agents.
