Celeb Ex on the Beach returns with its second edition of the starry dating show, including a surprise contestant from RuPaul's Drag Race.
The perfect antidote to the woes of Valentine's Day, the MTV series kicks off tonight (February 15) as it follows its very single contestants looking for love... until their exes get in the way.
A sneak peek of the first episodes sees the gang – a mix of Love Island stars and other TV personalities – getting acquainted in Gran Canaria when A'Whora makes her fabulous entrance.

Needless to say, she made quite the impression on her co-stars, who couldn't hide how excited they were to have a true queen in the villa.
"A real-life drag queen, I am in heaven," Geordie Shore's Nathan Henry said.

"I can't believe A'Whora just walked in, I'm such a fangirl," Love Islander Megan Barton-Hanson also admitted.
"What an icon, she looks insane, her makeup unreal," she continued.

A'Whora took part in the second season of Drag Race UK, where she ranked fifth.
"RuPaul always says 'Don't f**k it up', well this ain't Drag Race, bitch. I came here to f**k shit up," A'Whora said of her Celeb Ex on the Beach stint.
Asked what she would do if her exes were to show up on the series, A'Whora implied she meant business.
"The reason I do drag is because every guy broke my heart and it was always cause they said I was too feminine," she explained.
"I decided to then become a drag queen to own being feminine. Like, you said I was too femme, I'll show you what too femme is."
