Celebs Go Dating's Louis Russell bursts into tears in 'most emotional' scenes ever

It was an emotional day in the Celebs Go Dating Agency tonight, as Too Hot To Handle star Louis Russell broke down in front of the agents as he opened up about his past.

Louis has caused quite the stir during the show, and he hasn't been short of admirers - including fellow celeb and Love Islandstar Olivia Hawkins. Earlier in the week, Louis was scolded by his previous date, Jasmine, as it was revealed he had been kissing other dates while trying to "get with her".

In tonight's episode, agents Anna Williamson and Paul C Brunson wanted to dive deeper into why the star acts the way he does - and things got emotional, with Anna calling it one of the show's 'most emotional ever' in a chat with The Mirror.

"My view on relationships, love and marriage is very unstable, and it's very clouded," he said. "You come into this world alone, and you leave alone."

Opening up about his childhood, Louis told the agents that his mum and dad "shouldn't have been together."

"They just should not have ever been together or had me. It was just not a place where you should bring a child. They just didn't do it right. They showed me things and I saw things that child shouldn't see with your parents.

"I grew up around a household where s**t was breaking and people were shouting, and then my dad left. I just wanted to be with my dad. It was awful. And then I saw what it was doing to mum. I used to always come in and try to make her happy by dancing or singing, and it just didn't work.

"Saying all this, though, my mum and dad were amazing to me. My mum always made sure there was a roof over my head, clothes on my back and food on my table."

Paul then went on to ask Louis who he had that he could feel safe with other than him mother, as he broke down in tears. "I didn't really have anyone. Everyone thought I was a bad kid," he said - explaining that no one understood or even hugged him.

"You've never been bad, you've had bad stuff happen to you, Anna said - as Louis revealed he used his anger as he thought it would "protect" himself and his mother.

Opening up about the emotional moment, Anna, who gave Louis the "hug he so desperately needed" at the end of the deep dive, told The Mirror it was the reason she realised why she did the job she does.

In a chat earlier this month, the dating agent said: “Louis alluded in the opening episode that there was a lot to unpack - but he was adamant he didn’t want to go there.

“As the trust was built, I felt very strongly that we allowed Louis the opportunity to speak about some painful parts of his past, if he wanted to.

“Louis’ deep dive was one of the most emotional ones both Paul, I and Louis have ever had. I came out of that and Paul I both said to each other, ‘This is why we do this show.’”

Despite building up a number of connections in the agency, it looks like Louis has now found love elsewhere, having been spotted with Love Island USA star Huda Mustafa.
