Melody Thornton is taking part in 'Celebs Go Dating' to have "regular sex".

The former Pussycat Dolls singer insists she isn't going on the show to find lasting love, but wants someone she can get intimate with on a frequent basis.
She said: "I'm just trying to get some regular sex on a regular basis...
"Ferne [McCann, fellow contestant] has said she would have a baby tomorrow, I would not have a baby tomorrow.
"I'm 32 and I live in LA. I'm definitely trying to practise being in a relationship."
The 32-year-old singer admitted she has never had a serious boyfriend since she was a teenager and didn't want to "f**k up" her time in Pussycat Dolls by having a guy around to distract her.
She said: "I had one serious boyfriend during high school and then I got into the group.
"After that it was just like three months here, six months there - nothing solid.
"I've never lived with anyone.
"I never had a boyfriend [in the band]. Some of my bandmates full-on had boyfriends and I was like, 'How are you doing that?'
"It was the biggest opportunity you'll get in your life, so don't f**k it up by having someone drag you down."
But Melody knows exactly what she is looking for in a man.
She told new! magazine: "I like someone who is ambitious and has direction, and has some money."
And the 'Buttons' hitmaker has caught the eye of fellow contestant Joey Essex, even though the stars are not allowed to date one another.
Joey said:" It's in the contract that you can't get with the celebs so I haven't a choice [but] I wonder if Melody would date a 26 year old from Essex...
"If Melody wanted to go on a date, I might consider it."
