Nadia Essex (born 16 December 1981)[1] is an English television personality and columnist. She is known for appearing as a dating expert on the E4 reality series Celebs Go Dating from 2016 to 2018.[2][3][4]
Career
In 2016, Essex became one of the dating experts on the E4 dating reality series, Celebs Go Dating. She appeared on Good Morning Britain in 2017.[5] In 2018, she appeared as herself on three episodes of Celebrity Ghost Hunt[6] In January 2018, Essex appeared on the fourth series of Celebrity Coach Trip, alongside Bobby-Cole Norris.[7]
Harassment and legal action
In 2018, she was suspended from Celebs Go Dating for trolling her former co-host Eden Blackman on social media.[8][9] She was removed from show midway through filming of the fifth series in September 2018, reportedly due to "improper use of social media".[10][11][12] Lime Pictures issued a statement confirming her suspension, saying she was "found to be setting up fake accounts to troll certain users – which is something that won’t be tolerated".[citation needed] Despite admitting to setting up several trolling Twitter accounts, Essex subsequently started legal proceedings against Blackman and Lime Pictures.[13][14] Essex's case against Blackman was thrown out of court but he obtained a harassment order against Essex in 2020 due to the 'false claims Ms Essex made against' him.[15][better source needed] If Essex breaches the order she will face 'fines, have her assets seized, or be imprisoned if comments are found to contain content deemed as harassment'.[16]
