Channel 4's Celebs Go Dating is back and as always, it promises to be jam-packed full of hilariously awkward dates, naughty, NAUGHTY cast relationships (cough, Adam Collard and Lottie Moss, cough!) and profound life coaching giving us all the feels.

However, we all know the true star of the show is, of course, Dating Expert Anna Williamson and her incredible wardrobe.

Closer's columnist is known for expertly clashing prints, flouncy floral dresses and adding cheery pops of colour. In fact, she is the expert on dopamine dressing and we spend the entire showing trying to track down her outfits.

But not to worry, if you love Anna's outfits just as much as we do - here's where to shop the presenter's fabulous dress sense, plus affordable dupes when the real thing is out of stock.
