CELEBS Go Dating’s Jon Lee has begun a new relationship – having met his now-boyfriend through the show.
The S Club singer, 43, is among the famous faces set to appear in the E4 dating programme’s latest series.
It sees single stars join an exclusive dating agency in a bid to find romance.
The Sun can reveal Jon’s efforts ultimately prove successful, as he has found love with hunky Jordan Fairhurst.
Jordan, who works in marketing, met Jon when they were set up by the show’s matchmakers.
An insider tells The Sun: “Sparks flew between Jon and Jordan instantly.
“There was a real connection there from the get go and things developed really quickly.
“They have been on a few dates on the show, but now they are in official and in a full blown relationship.
“Jon never expected to find something serious on the show. but Jordan really took him by surprise.
“Fans will see how the relationship develops on the show but it’s one of the love stories of the series. It’s all very sweet.”
Earlier this year, Jon took to Instagram and shared news of his Celebs Go Dating involvement.
He captioned: “So exciting to be joining the season 14 cast of @celebsgodating!”
One fan commented: “I can’t wait to see you on this, you’ll be fab xxxx.”
Another wrote: “Love this… goodluck lovely.”
While a third penned: “Looking froward to watch our Jon look for romance.”
A fourth remarked: “Oh hello!!!!! How exciting.”
Filming is taking place in Ibiza during the first date stages, for the first time ever.
The cast previously jetted off to the White Isle to begin filming, with the show airing in the summer.
Also on board are returnee Kerry Katona, The Chase quizzer Mark Labbett, Too Hot To Handle hunk Louis Russell, former Love Island contestant Olivia Hawkins and Sam Prince from Made In Chelsea.
Jon's dating history
In August 2010, Jon Lee revealed that he is gay in an interview with Gay Times Magazine.
He said at the time: “If someone had said ’are you gay?’ I would have said yes, but no-one ever did.
“I’ve never felt the need to leap out of the closet singing and dancing about it.
“I’ve always known I was gay, from a very young age. I came out to my friends and my family at a very young age, so for me it’s always been my life and it’s never needed to be a huge change that I’ve had to tell everyone about.”
In 2018, Jon made a surprise appearance on dating show Dinner Date in a bid to look for love.
Viewers – and the star’s dates – were shocked as he turned up waiting to be wined and dined.
Speaking about his decision to be on the show, he said: “Dating in S Club didn’t really happen. I met people here and there, but you can’t just say ‘hi, I’m Jon, by the way I’m off for six months’.”
Seven years later, he signed up to appear in E4 dating programme Celebs Go Dating.
Other famous names in the same series include Kerry Katona, Mark Labbett and Olivia Hawkins.
Last month, The Sun revealed Celebrity Big Brother star Donna Preston had been snapped up as a late signing.
She said: “I’m buzzing to be joining the show and to finally crack the code on what men really want, besides snacks and not being asked what they’re thinking.
“I’m intrigued to meet new people, but let’s be honest, if a date’s boring, I won’t waste anyone’s time.
“Life’s too short to sit through tales of someone’s coin collection, I’ll be gone before the starter arrives.”
