Ex In The City line-up revealed as FIVE former Love Islanders, ex-Big Brother housemate and Drag Race star sign up

FIVE former Love Islanders are back on telly - only this time fully clothed.

Stunner Leanne Amaning is among 16 contestants taking part in the new series of Ex In The City, which starts on October 20 on MTV.

After her stint on Love Island back in 2020, Leanne didn't find The One, so hopefully her stint on the upcoming dating show will be more successful.

The other former Islanders taking part are Eve Gale, Joshua Ritchie, Arabella Chi and Jack Fincham.

They will be joined by Big Brother star Imogen Thomas and Towie favourites Bobby Norris and Demi Sims.

Two familiar faces from The Circle will also be taking part - Manrika Khaira and Freddie Bentley.

Ibiza Weekender stars Callum Izzard and Deano Bailey have also signed up alongside Drag Race star Tia Kofi, A Place In The Sun's Danni Menzies, Celebs Go Dating hunk Levi Davis and Olympian gymnast Lisa Mason.

The dating show veterans will go on blind dates in London, only for an ex-lover to arrive too.

The show is a spin-off to Ex On The Beach, which has proved difficult to film due to Covid rules and restrictions.

Here we take a look at the single stars looking for love...

Eve Gale

16

Love Islander Eve Gale was dumped from the villa on day six in 2020.

The beauty didn't manage to find a man in the outside world either, but will she be able to on Ex In The City?

Joshua Ritchie

16

Josh Ritchie shot to fame on the first-ever series of the popular ITV2 dating show in 2015.

He failed to find a girl, but did manage to place third alongside Lauren Richardson as pals.

Since then he's appeared in a number of reality dating shows including Ex On The Beach and Celebs Go Dating.

Arabella Chi

16

Arabella Chi is also on the look out for a new man.

The beauty starred in the fifth series of Love Island back in 2019, but only lasted a measly seven days in the villa.

Jack Fincham

16

The last of the Love Islanders who are taking part in the show is 2018 winner Jack Fincham.

He won the show alongside ex-girlfriend Dani Dyer but they split shortly after.

Since then he's been on Celebs Go Dating to find a partner, but didn't have much luck.

Manrika shot to fame earlier this year on the third season of Channel 4's The Circle.

The star got into a virtual relationship with Natalya Platonova, who was pretending to be a boy called Felix, during the programme.

So hopefully this will work out a little better...

Freddie Bentley

Meanwhile season one runner-up Freddie Bentley is also on the look out for a new man.

Demi Sims

16

Towie favourite Demi Sims, who was recently linked to Geordie Shore's Bethan Kershaw, is also hoping to find a girlfriend with the help of the show.

Bobby Norris

16

Demi's co-star Bobby Norris, who left the show earlier this year, is also looking for love.

Deano Bailey

16

Ibiza Weekender's Deano Bailey may have had romances with co-stars Ellie Young and Imogen Townley on the ITV2 show in 2017, but they certainly didn't last.

Callum Izzard

16

The hunk will be joined by co-star Callum Izzard, who starred on the programme from 2019 to 2020.

Callum was engaged to Love Island star Georgia Steel, but split after just under a year together.

Has he left his laddish ways behind to try and find a girl?

Imogen Thomas

16

Former Miss Wales Imogen Thomas, who took part in the seventh series of Big Brother in 2006, wants to get back on the dating scene.

The star split from her , Adam Horsley, back in 2018 and is now ready to find love again.

Danni Menzies

16

A Place In The Sun's Danni Menzies is brilliant at finding guests on the Channel 4 show their dream property, but will she be able to find her dream man?

Levi Davis

16

Rugby union player Levi Davis, who currently plays for Ealing Trailfinders, failed to find a girlfriend during his stint on Celebs Go Dating last year - so maybe Ex In The City will be his time to shine.

Lisa Mason

16

Viewers will also be able to see if Olympic gymnast Lisa Mason is as successful in the dating scene as she is on the floor.
