Celebrity Gogglebox is making its return to television with a brand new line-up of familiar faces, including two Strictly stars.
The Channel 4 spin-off first aired in 2019 and has since established itself as one of the broadcaster’s most beloved programmes.
The forthcoming eighth series will welcome back several firm favourites, such as Vernon Kay and Paddy McGuinness, Nick Grimshaw and niece Liv, and Denise Van Outen and Johnny Vaughan.
Yet there will also be a fresh batch of celebrity contributors offering their views on the week’s finest, worst, and most peculiar television content, all delivered from the cosiness of their living rooms.
Olivia is one of the new faces
Among the new notable personalities joining the Gogglebox roster this series are TV personality Olivia Attwood alongside her mum Jennifer, and Harry and Matt, better known as Nitro and Legend from Gladiators, reports the Daily Star.
Completing the cast are Strictly star George Clark, content creator Max Balegde, comedian and actor Julian Clary and television presenter Nigel Havers.
Discussing her Celebrity Gogglebox appearance, Olivia Attwood remarked it “was chaotic but in the best possible way”. She elaborated: “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.”
Corrie icon Nigel is making an appearance too
Meanwhile, Matt, aka Legend, commented: “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. Anyway, 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.”
Strictly 2025 finalist George Clarke added: “I loved it, mainly because it gave me a full excuse to take the mick out of Max on national TV.
“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!”

Coronation Street legend Nigel Havers also remarked: “It’s a dream come true working with Julian on Gogglebox. I can’t think of a better way to spend an evening… (Julian wrote this).”
A host of much-loved British celebrities are also due to make their return, amongst them Vernon Kay and Paddy McGuinness, Bez and Shaun, Roman and Martin Kemp, Ashley Banjo and Perri Kiely, Nick Grimshaw and niece Liv, the Mangans, Rylan and mum Linda, Mo Gilligan and Babatunde Aleshe, Denise Van Outen and Johnny Vaughan and Vicky Pattison and Pete Wicks.
