“My poor friends and family.”
Lady Nadia Essex, one of the love guru’s on E4’s Celebs Go Dating, has expressed her upset at rumours online that she was dead.
The hoax started circulating last night when the show was pulled at the last minute without explanation and E4 showed an episode of Come Dine with Me: Made in Chelsea instead.
Nadia’s fellow matchmaker on the show said he didn’t know why it wasn’t broadcast.
Seems #Celebsgodating isn't on tonight. I don't know why but it must be for good reason. Normal service should be resumed next week 😁

Nadia quickly took to Twitter to dispel the rumours about her death, saying it had really upset her.

She explained that she lives close to the tube station in London’s where yesterday’s bombing took place and said she was feeling “very sensitive”.
Thanks Chelsea. Really upsetting after such a traumatic day. Parsons Green is my nearest station so feeling very sensitive ATM 😓 https://t.co/uQeFDFqlvt

Her family had also gotten wind of the rumours and were “beside themselves” with worry, she added.

She also posted to Instagram this morning, urging her followers not to attack anyone for starting the rumour.
“Guys I’m begging anyone doing this to poor Emma please STOP!!!,” she wrote.
“We don’t know who started it but I’m fine. This poor woman doesn’t deserve this. Please please be nice to people today.”
We’re thankful that she’s ok but can’t get over how a rumour like that would start.
