DJ Dylan, who appeared on the civilian version of Big Brother in 2023, tried his cheeky charm on the star, shortly after splitting with his girlfriend, Gabriella, last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for him, someone else has better luck, with Kerry going public since filming ended with toyboy Paolo Margaglione<\/a> who she met later on on the show.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A source told The Sun Online: \u201cDylan\u2019s a real character and he\u2019s also looking for love – he\u2019s also not shy or impressed by celebs as he meets so many in his job.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe experts knew he\u2019d be a good match for Kerry, but she only had eyes for another man on the show so Dylan was out of luck!\u201d<\/p>\n

The Sun Online has reached out to Dylan for comment. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Dylan, who is also a music producer, lived a lavish lifestyle before appearing on reality TV<\/a>, having regular performing stints in Ibiza.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Coventry-native also still keeps in touch with his Big Brother housemates, sharing pictures partying with fellow former housemates Ali Bromley, Lily Benson and Daze Aghaji two weeks ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The star became notable for sharing his story about having to have his leg amputated in 2017, following a head-on collision with a taxi while riding his motorbike in Tenerife.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He later launched a YouTube channel called \u2018An Amputee Abroad\u2019 which documented his rehabilitation and desire to travel the world in the wake of his accident.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kerry returns to our screens tonight as part of Celebs Go Dating\u2019s newest clients \u2013\u00a0joining the likes of Love Island\u2019s Liv Hawkins, The Chase\u2019s Mark Labbett, and S Club 7\u2019s Jon Lee.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Love Island\u2019s Olivia Hawkins shares steamy snog with Celebs Go Dating co-star at Ibiza pool party<\/span><\/div>\n

But we already know that her time with the dating agency is a success, with Kerry already jetting off with personal trainer Paolo on a sunsoaked getaway.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She\u2019s also moved him into her home<\/a> after just two months together.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Paolo is Kerry\u2019s first relationship since her split with long-time fianc\u00e9 Ryan Mahoney<\/a> after a \u201cbreach of trust\u201d, and it came as a surprise to her, with her admitting she was appearing on the show mainly for financial reasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking exclusively to The Sun Kerry said: “I was adamant I was not interested, I just wanted the money, the paycheque, a bit of publicity and therapy. I was adamant I was not interested at all [in dating].”<\/p>\n

Opening up about dating younger men on the show, Kerry insisted that age really is just a number – with the star having an 11 year age-gap<\/a> with her new man Paolo.<\/p>\n

Kerry joked: “I feel like 21, so who cares!<\/p>\n

“For me it’s energy, it doesn’t matter who you are – an age gap is an age gap, as long as you’re happy and have that connection.<\/p>\n

“You could be with the same person for the next 10 years and be miserable as anything, it doesn’t matter.”<\/p>\n

A source said of her new man: “Paolo\u2019s got an amazing body but he\u2019s also a sweet guy to boot.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s a single dad to two girls, so he has his head screwed on and is responsible.\u201d<\/p>\n
