Jess Wright opens up about her past in emotional date with Cameron Diaz’s hunky PT on First Dates
Former TOWIE star opens up about her relationship with former flame Ricky Rayment
JESS Wright is set to get more than she bargained for as she looks for love on Channel 4's Celebrity First Dates?
The unlucky-in-love Towie star is set to take part on the hit dating show - and immediately hits it off with personal trainer to the stars Tom.
Tom has spent the last ten years working across the pond in New York, and had a client base boasting Hollywood heavyweights including Cameron Diaz and Jim Carrey.
As a result has next to no knowledge of 30-year-old Jess's TV reality show history - something that she is more than happy with.
In fact, when asked what her perfect match would be, Jess even went so far as to request the matchmakers find someone who DIDN'T know how she found her fame.
She said: "I always worry that when I meet someone who's watched TOWIE they have a certain perception of me.
"I hate it, because you know what I like you, know what I don't like, where as with them I haven't got a clue."
It appears that the production team took her requests on board, partnering her up with a hunk that's sure to get her pulse racing in more ways than one.

The pair get along so well, that at one point Jess even opens up about her turbulent relationship with a former flame.
While she never reveals his name, it is apparent to Jess's fans she is referring to Towie lothario Ricky Rayment.
Labelling their relationship as "horrendous", she does admit that their time together, and her time on Towie, has changed her for the better.
She said: "The person who was on telly and had that relationship is a completely different to who I am now.
"I mean she was weak, she was vulnerable and she didn't know who she was.
"I feel like now I've got the absolute ability to say no you're not right for me."
Celebrity First Dates will be setting up the stars with members of the public to see if they can strike it lucky away from their famous friends.
As well as Jess, Eastenders star Richard Blackwood will make an appearance, as well as Gogglebox's Scarlett Moffatt and presenter Esther Rantzen.
Will they find true love?
Check out Celebrity First Dates, Friday at 9pm, on Channel 4.
