Celebs Go Dating relationships coach Paul C Brunson remains haunted after filming the hit dating show in lockdown in a spirit-filled mansion.
The series in which Gary Lineker’s brother Wayne was looking for love saw the cast move into a £30million pad on the Sydenhurst estate in Chiddingfold, Surrey.

But for more than 60 years from 1949, it was a home from home for disabled Ukrainians stranded in England after World War Two.
Paul says: “When we filmed Celebs Go Dating: The Mansion that place felt a little spooky to me.
“Then I learned Tom Cruise was coming to live there afterward and was like, ‘This place definitely is haunted.’ Right after we filmed we had to clear out because he was moving in for the Christmas break.

“The energy felt off – I would walk in and feel like I was being pulled down.
“Instead of feeling uplifted and energetic, glowy and light, it was hard to lift up your feet.
“It felt heavy and didn’t feel good. That was the hardest shoot ever in my life. I don’t know if it was a ghost or what!”
While his paranormal skills are being sharpened, Paul’s psychic abilities are as en pointe as his dating advice.
He predicted Gary Lucy and Laura Anderson would make the show’s first baby minutes after meeting the former Hollyoaks actor.

Paul says: “When Gary walked into the agency after he left I turned to everyone and said, ‘That’s going to be the first super strong love story that we get out of Celebs Go Dating – we just have to find him someone but he’s ready.’
“He was walking in a place where I have everything I want in my life except for my partner, whereas a lot of the celebs are still looking for things in their life.
“Fast forward to the final when we were in Cyprus and they were caught on camera kissing.
“I said, ‘I think there’s going to be a Gary/Laura baby’. And now this is the first couple to come together as part of the show and have a baby.”
Unfortunately, the pair split last month and are at loggerheads now after Gary revealed the baby’s gender last week without Laura’s permission.
Paul is being inundated by famous people begging for a slot on the show.
The 46-year-old says: “I get messaged by celebs going, ‘I need help with my love life and I’d love you to work with me.’
“Some of them just want to get on TV but I like that they reach out.”

Now Paul has teamed up with Barclays to warn of the dangers of financial romance scams. And a new BBC One series, called Scam Interceptors, starts tonight.
He says: “This is something that I’m highly concerned about – 36% of Brits have been targeted or know someone who has been targeted for a romance scam – that equates to millions of people and everyone is susceptible.
“Over the last month, there’s been a 60% increase in reported losses around romance fraud.
“The average person is losing £10,000, and I believe most people are not reporting so those figures are probably much higher.”
