Dancing On Ice and Celeb MasterChef star in talks to sign up for dating show after coming out as pansexual
BRIT rapper and reality star Lady Leshurr is in talks to appear in a hit dating show.
The pansexual music star, 37, who has already appeared on Celebrity MasterChef and Dancing on Ice, could soon sign for E4's Celebs Go Dating.
A source told The Sun: “Celebs Go Dating bosses think Lady Leshurr would be perfect for the next series, and they’ve had meetings with her.
"Nothing is signed on the dotted line yet but the chats have been promising. She’d be great TV, she isn’t afraid to say what she thinks and she went down well during her previous reality TV stints.
"She’s also openly pansexual, so would be willing to explore dates with both men and women, so there is lots of scope for some very interesting drama at the agency!”
The Sun has contacted a representative for Lady Leshurr for comment.

Leshurr, real name Melesha O'Garro, first revealed she was pansexual six years and has since spoken openly about her sexuality.
She told Gay Times in 2018: "I’m just happy that I don’t have to hide anything anymore, I am free. In life you have to tell the truth, you have to feel comfortable in your own skin and now I feel so comfortable in my own skin."
It was American singer Kehlani who introduced Leshurr to the term pansexual via a series of tweets.
“I had never heard of it and after reading her tweets, I felt like everything she was saying applied to me," Leshurr said.
"I researched it and was like ‘That’s me, That’s what I am’. I like everybody.”
Despite the lightbulb moment providing her with a welcome sense of clarity, she allegedly faced resistance to sharing it publicly from her former manager, who said it "wouldn't be a good look".
Leshurr said: "I remember it made me feel so depressed because I wasn’t being allowed to be my authentic self and honestly, speaking from experience, I understand how it can make someone feel trapped, give you low self-esteem and anxiety, because you can’t fully be yourself."
The award-winning rapper previously described Barbie as her dream girl, acknowledging she'd been brought up around blonde-haired, blue-eyed girls she thought were attractive.
The Grime star shot to fame for her Queen Speech rap freestyles which established her as Grime royalty.
In 2016, the same year her Queen's Speech 4 was released, she won the MOBO Award for Best Female Act.
Three years later she won the Best Rap/Grime Act at the Birmingham Music Awards, and in 2020 was left speechless when she received the British Empire Medal in the Queen's Birthday Honours.
