Michael Bolton reveals three 'Celebrity Dating Game' contestants, including Taye Diggs

ABC isn't playing around with its Celebrity Dating Game.

Grammy-winning singer Michael Bolton, who will cohost the show alongside actress and singer-songwriter Zooey Deschanel, revealed to Entertainment Tonight that former Bachelorette Hannah Brown, Grammy-nominated rapper and singer Iggy Azalea, and multi-hyphenate Taye Diggs will be three of the contestants vying for love.

"I'm gonna be singing throughout the show to give people hints," Bolton, who also serves as executive producer, said during the interview, though the 68-year-old wouldn't confirm nor deny that Brown met her current boyfriend, Adam Woolard, while filming: "There definitely was chemistry going on between people during the show."

ABC's official website gives a better explanation as to how the reality game show will work: 

"Offering the same iconic feel as the original classic dating show, each episode follows two celebrities who each pick one lucky suitor from a hidden panel of three bachelors and/or bachelorettes based on answers to a variety of questions. But there's a twist! The celebrity identities will remain a mystery to their suitors, who are given clues via hilarious parody song performances by host Michael Bolton."

Celebrity Dating Game will premiere June 14 as part of the network's "Summer Fun & Games" lineup. 

Originally, ABC aired The Dating Game from 1965-73.
