EXCLUSIVE: James Haskell, the 41-year-old rugby star, has made a jaw-dropping confession about his Celebs Go Dating co-star, Coleen Nolan, 61.
In a recent appearance on This Morning, James admitted to having a major crush on Coleen, revealing he’d be “giving her a spin” if the rules didn’t stop them from dating.
The two are currently starring together on the hit E4 reality series, where they date a mix of singletons in search of true love. But it seems there’s a special spark between these two celebs.
While discussing his co-stars, James couldn’t help but gush: “We’ve bonded really well, and they’re so nice, I love them. Especially Coleen, I’ve got a real crush on her.”
Things got even more awkward (or exciting?) when James joked that, had he the chance, he’d “probably” ask Coleen out, and the entire studio audience was left in disbelief!
But the biggest twist? At the end of the segment, James got the surprise of his life when Coleen appeared in the studio! She rushed over for a very flirty embrace as James cheekily asked, “Do you wanna sit on my knee?” Coleen laughed and shot back, “Not again!”
However, the flirtation didn’t stop there. The pair continued to tease each other with playful banter, with James even cracking a joke about needing to lock the door to keep Coleen from “climbing through the window.” Talk about a celebrity love connection!
But wait, it gets better. Despite the obvious chemistry, James has had his fair share of struggles in the dating department. During a mixer event with other singles, James was slammed by the dating experts for having “no game.” Ouch! 
Dr. Tara didn’t hold back, commenting, “Dude’s got no game,” while Anna Williamson said, “He’s a good guy, but we need him to step up his performance!”
