Tom Read Wilson would jump at the chance to date James Haskell.
The 41-year-old rugby player is taking part in the 10th anniversary series of E4’s Celebs Go Dating, and he and Tom, the show’s junior client coordinator-and-receptionist, have been getting on well.
Tom, 39, shared in the new issue of Closer magazine: “James is hunky!
“But most importantly, he’s very generous. He’s given me Champagne – in a way, he’s winning and dining me. There’s a secret compartment in my desk that opens, and it’s teeming with gifts from James.
“If he asked me very nicely to go on a date, I think I’d be a fool to say no.”
Amid James – who has a three-year-old daughter called Bodhi with his 38-year-old ex-wife, TV personality Chloe Madeley – trying to find his perfect woman, Tom is hoping to find his Mr Right.
Tom previously shared that he is “very happy” being single, but has now said he would love to strike up a romance with a non-public figure.
The reality TV star said: “My dream is to date someone outside of my realm, not someone on TV. I find it so interesting to learn about what people do, especially if it’s very different to what I do. I’ve dated doctors in the past.”
Tom then recalled a very interesting date with a “bovine vet”, adding: “He taught me how to test for pregnancy in a cow – not on the farm, I hasten to add, but he did a very involved mime.
“And then he said to me, ‘So, now you know!'”
During the November 24, 2025, episode of ITV’s I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!, Tom admitted to his campmates that he can find men, but “can’t keep them”.
His co-star, Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley, 49, asked Tom: “Because you are in a dating show [Celebs Go Dating], are they very intrusive of your dating life?”
Tom replied: “No. Well, the thing is that there’s not very much…”
Lisa chimed in: “To find at the moment.”
Tom added: “I can find them, but I can’t keep them.”
His fellow campmate, Heart Radio presenter and broadcaster Kelly Brook, 46, wondered: “Why do you think you can’t keep them?”
Tom responded: “I don’t know what it is. I think I’m such a curiosity if I meet a guy.”
