"ERMMM, SIGN ME UP!”

On January 13, Celebs Go Dating revealed the start date and a teaser video on Twitter.

Zanetti, who has always been well-known on the music scene in Leeds, found international success with his 2016 track "You Want Me".

His career began after he was expelled from Royds School and left Tinshill Learning Centre at 16.

At the same time he became a father to Deaconn, who is now 14.

From then, Zanetti worked hard doing jobs such as labouring on building sites, milk rounds, 12 hour factory shifts and even a stint as a butcher.

This was in addition to performing in clubs and selling his own records in Leeds Market.

For the formative years of his son’s life, he lived with his partner Lizzie, with whom he started the massively popular club night, Insomnia,

In 2010, Lizzie tragically died in a car accident on the M62 as she was driving home from work.

He then created his own brand, Sleepin’ Is Cheatin, which hosts festivals, club nights, records and fashion merchandise.

In 2018, he appeared on Love Island where he threw a party for housemates - taking his career up a level.

Then, in August 2019, he opened his own nightclub in Hirst's Yard called The Dollhouse.

Since its launch, the club has proved very popular with footballers, influencers and even pop stars like Mel B.
