Celebrity Gogglebox is back with a fresh batch of famous faces to comment on the week’s TV.
Joining the Channel 4 line-up this series are the likes of former Love Island star Olivia Attwood and Strictly Come Dancing runner-up George Clarke.
The series returns this Friday, with other showbiz names including Gladiators stars Harry Aikines-Aryeetey and Matt Morsia, as well as Chariots of Fire star Nigel Havers.
Attwood, 35, is set to appear alongside her mother Jennifer, in a duo she described as ‘chaotic but in the best possible way’.
The ex-Islander added: ‘It’s not often that we agree on things, which I think the viewers may find entertaining.
‘My family are huge fans of the show so it’s a real honour to be a part of such an iconic British programme.’

Meanwhile, bodybuilder Morsia, who is best known as Legends on Gladiators, said: ‘Everyone knows how good I am at being on TV, but turns out I’m even better at watching it.
‘Wow. Absolutely incredible sofa performance.
‘I had a great time on the show and I need to say a massive thank you to Gogglebox for literally paying me to watch TV. What a time to be alive.’
His co-star Aikines-Aryeetey, who competed alongside Clarke in the 2025 series of Strictly, said: ‘Filming Celebrity Gogglebox was pure fun from start to finish, just a proper night-in full of laughs, brilliant TV, and plenty of unexpected moments.
‘It was a really enjoyable experience and great fun to be part of.’

Clarke said filming Gogglebox gave him an excuse to tease his sofa partner and fellow content creator Max Balegde.
‘He reacts to everything, so you’re never bored. It’s so easy to get into as well, you just sit there, say exactly what you’re thinking, and before you know it, we’ve gone completely off track,’ he said.
