Ritchie Neville to find love again on Take Me Out celebrity special along with Arg and Thom Evans

A stream of single celebs are up for grabs on ITV show

RITCHIE Neville is actively looking for love after his ex-fianceé Natasha Hamilton got engaged to another man - and he's doing it on Take Me Out.

The 5ive singer, 37, is set to star in an incredible celebrity special of the ITV dating show next year.

And despite his recent heartache - watching the mother of his daughter Ella get engaged to another man this week - just NINE months after they broke up - he doesn't seem phased about returning to the dating pool.

The boyband heartthrob - who used to date Billie Piper - turned to the nation's top love doctor Paddy McGuinness to help him turn his bad romantic luck on its head.

He said: "It was kind of the right place, right time to let Paddy have a go at match making for me.

"It’s only getting a grilling from 30 women, revealing secrets about yourself that you've never revealed before and potentially going on a first date, all in front of the great British public.

"What could possibly go wrong?”

Joining him in the Love Lift is Towie star James 'Arg' Argent.

His relationship with Lydia Bright was a running theme of the ITVBe reality show, but fans saw her dump him once and for all in a beach showdown a few months ago.

Later she got drunk and had sex with him again, but that romp seems to have officially ended their affair for good.

Typically upbeat, Arg revealed he loved going on Take Me Out, where he met a selection of ladies who had failed to find love across the show's eight series.

He said: "I had a really great time and experience filming Take Me Out and meeting all the lovely ladies!"

Luckily for the girls, boybanders and reality stars weren't the only thing on the menu for the man-hungry singletons.

Kelly Brook's hunky rugby ex Thom Evans also comes out looking for a date, as does Roman Kemp, Olympian Nile Wilson and Strictly star Melvin Odom.
