Celebs Go Dating expert Nadia Essex AXED from the show after being exposed as Twitter troll
CELEBS Go Dating expert Nadia Essex has been sensationally axed from the show after trolling social media users with fake accounts.
The reality star, 36, will not appear on the rest of the upcoming series after being caught out for misusing Twitter.
Nadia has starred on the E4 show since its launch in 2016 – appearing alongside former co-host Eden Blackman until he quit the series over their ongoing feud.
A TV source said: “Nadia has been suspended from the show until further notice and won’t be appearing on the rest of the series.
“Bosses have made the decision following an investigation into Nadia’s use of social media.
“She was found to be setting up fake accounts to troll certain users – which is something that won’t be tolerated.”
A spokeswoman for Celebs Go Dating confirmed to The Sun: “Nadia has been suspended following improper use of social media" while Nadia refused to comment.
Filming for the new series is already underway with the likes of Love Island’s Oliva Attwood and Eyal Booker, Made in Chelsea star Alik Alfus and Towie babe Chloe Sims.
But the show will be on the hunt for a new dating expert as Nadia’s suspension kicks in with immediate effect.
The last batch of romantic hopefuls included Muggy Mike, Gemma Collins and Stuart Little actor Jonathan Lipnicki.

Nadia and Eden's feud threatened to overshadow the success of the show after they unfollowed each other and stopped speaking behind the scenes.
In an interview earlier this year Nadia implied the show could do with a revamp saying: "I think now there's an opportunity to look at what works, and what maybe doesn’t and refresh it.
"In terms of going into the next series, we could make it something that’s phenomenal."
