Former Love Island star Olivia Attwood and George Clarke are among the stars who have joined the line-up for the upcoming series of Celebrity Gogglebox.<\/p>\n

Other celebrities include Harry Aikines-Aryeetey and Matt Morsia, known as Nitro and Legend from Gladiators, content creator Max Balegde, comedian and actor Julian Clary and actor and TV presenter Nigel Havers.<\/p>\n

The long-running TV show will return to Channel 4 this Friday, with reality star Attwood, 35, set to appear alongside her mother Jennifer.<\/p>\n

She said: “Doing Celebrity Gogglebox with my mum was chaotic but in the best possible way.<\/p>\n

“It’s not often that we agree on things, which I think the viewers may find entertaining.<\/p>\n

“My family are huge fans of the show so it\u2019s a real honour to be a part of such an iconic British programme.”<\/p>\n

Teasing about his involvement in the show, Gladiators star Matt said: “Everyone knows how good I am at being on TV, but turns out I\u2019m even better at watching it. Wow. Absolutely incredible sofa performance.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

\"LONDON,
\nMatt Morsia said he had a great time on the show<\/p>\n

His co-star Harry 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.”<\/p>\n

Clarke, who was a runner-up on Strictly Come Dancing last year, said he “loved” the experience of filming Gogglebox as it “gave me a full excuse to take the mick out of Max on national TV”.<\/p>\n

“He reacts to everything, so you\u2019re never bored. It\u2019s so easy to get into as well, you just sit there, say exactly what you\u2019re thinking, and before you know it, we\u2019ve gone completely off track,” he said.<\/p>\n

His fellow couch critic Balegde said he was “so excited” to be back filming with Clarke on “one of our favourite TV shows”.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s such a privilege to be a part of the Gogglebox family with such legends and it was so much fun doing what I do best \u2013 catching up with a friend over a good TV show and cup of tea,” he said.<\/p>\n

\nGeorge Clarke was a runner-up on Strictly last year<\/p>\n

Clary said doing Celebrity Gogglebox was an “absolute treat” and a “perfectly civilised way to spend an evening”.<\/p>\n

“I do like to think my commentary brought a certain level of refinement to proceedings, and Nigel managed to stay awake, although there is an unsightly stain on my sofa,” he said.<\/p>\n

More famous faces taking part this time around will be confirmed as the series airs.<\/p>\n

Other cast members set to return 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.<\/p>\n

They will be joined by Mo Gilligan and Babatunde Aleshe, Denise Van Outen and Johnny Vaughan, and Vicky Pattison and Pete Wicks.<\/p>\n

Celebrity Gogglebox returns at 9pm on 5 June on Channel 5.<\/p>\n
