Tom Read Wilson would jump at the chance to date James Haskell.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Tom, 39, shared in the new issue of Closer magazine: “James is hunky!<\/p>\n
“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.<\/p>\n
“If he asked me very nicely to go on a date, I think I’d be a fool to say no.”<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.”<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
“And then he said to me, ‘So, now you know!'”<\/p>\n
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”.<\/p>\n
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?”<\/p>\n
Tom replied: “No. Well, the thing is that there’s not very much…”<\/p>\n
Lisa chimed in: “To find at the moment.”<\/p>\n
Tom added: “I can find them, but I can’t keep them.”<\/p>\n
His fellow campmate, Heart Radio presenter and broadcaster Kelly Brook, 46, wondered: “Why do you think you can’t keep them?”<\/p>\n
Tom responded: “I don’t know what it is. I think I’m such a curiosity if I meet a guy.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
