Celebs Go Dating expert Anna Williamson has opened up on Adam Collard and Lottie Moss' relationship behind the scenes of the hit Channel 4 show as their romance hits a further bump in the road.
The Love Island star and model's romance has been very up-and-down with the latest twist involving Adam calling time on their relationship after he caught Lottie texting an ex-boyfriend. However, dating expert Anna has insisted their feelings are "real" as she hinted at more twists and turns.
Reflecting on the moment she discovered Lottie and Adam had spent the night together, Anna told the Mirror: "It was a bit of a shock. It happens, we're always open to following the celebs in what organically happens. Everyone's a grown adult, we can't tell people who they have to date and they must only date those people.
"It was a surprise when Adam and Lottie had sex with each other on the very first mixer, which was an interesting one because obviously, they'd come into the agency to not do that, to do things in a slightly different way. But, we really applauded them and actually it turned out to be a really interesting storyline to follow because it's been real emotions that have been unfolding with Adam and Lottie."
"And it's quite reflective of people that do hook-up quickly and feelings start to develop and then it moves the relationship into a multi-layer place and then you throw into the mix the fact that they’re at a dating agency, and they’re there to date other people as well," she continued.
Megan Barton Hanson and Demi Sims spark reunion rumours with sweet TikTok video"It’s been quite complicated for them, brought on by themselves, but in a completely organic way. So I think as always, we're open minded as coaches and agents, and we will always support and steer celebs in where their feelings are genuinely taking them."
Speaking out on whether she, and fellow experts Paul Carrick Brunson and Dr Tara Suwinyattichaiporn, ever considered asking the pair to leave the agency, she said: "I think they were always ready for the process. I think they just got a bit over excited at the beginning. And we’ll always stick with somebody and the agency is there to learn and grow. If we were going to throw people out just because they perhaps did not progress in a linear way, then we wouldn't be doing our jobs right at the agency."
Hinting at a possible future for the on-off couple, Anna revealed the experts supported the Love Island star and model in any way they were able. "With Adam and Lottie, we wanted to work with exploring if there is something between you two, or if it one of those situations where you were both sexually attracted to each other and that's that. We were just very open minded with the whole process and we were there to support both of them individually and together as they wanted," she continued.
