Former Love Island star Olivia Attwood and George Clarke are among the celebrities set to appear in the upcoming series of Celebrity Gogglebox, which returns to Channel 4 this Friday. Attwood, 35, will be joined by her mother Jennifer, while Clarke will appear alongside content creator Max Balegde.
Attwood said: 'Doing Celebrity Gogglebox with my mum was chaotic but in the best possible way. It's not often that we agree on things, which I think the viewers may find entertaining.' She added that her family are huge fans of the show, calling it 'an honour to be a part of such an iconic British programme.'
Other celebrities confirmed include Gladiators stars Harry Aikines-Aryeetey and Matt Morsia, comedian Julian Clary, actor Nigel Havers, and content creator Max Balegde. Matt Morsia joked about his involvement, saying: 'Everyone knows how good I am at being on TV, but turns out I'm even better at watching it.'
Clarke, who was a runner-up on Strictly Come Dancing last year, said he 'loved' the experience as it gave him 'a full excuse to take the mick out of Max on national TV.' Balegde expressed his excitement to be back filming with Clarke on 'one of our favourite TV shows,' describing it as 'a privilege to be a part of the Gogglebox family.'
Returning cast members include Vernon Kay and Paddy McGuinness, Bez and Shaun, Roman and Martin Kemp, Ashley Banjo and Perri Kiely, Nick Grimshaw and niece Liv, the Mangans, and Rylan and his mother Linda. New additions include Mo Gilligan and Babatunde Aleshe, Denise Van Outen and Johnny Vaughan, and Vicky Pattison and Pete Wicks.
