Celebrity Gogglebox<\/a> is back with a fresh batch of famous faces to comment on the week\u2019s TV.<\/p>\n

Joining the Channel 4<\/a> line-up this series are the likes of former Love Island<\/a> star Olivia Attwood<\/a> and Strictly Come Dancing<\/a> runner-up George Clarke<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The series returns this Friday, with other showbiz names including Gladiators<\/a> stars Harry Aikines-Aryeetey<\/a> and Matt Morsia, as well as Chariots of Fire star Nigel Havers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Attwood, 35, is set to appear alongside her mother Jennifer, in a duo she described as \u2018chaotic but in the best possible way\u2019.<\/p>\n

The ex-Islander added: \u2018It\u2019s not often that we agree on things, which I think the viewers may find entertaining.<\/p>\n

\u2018My family are huge fans of the show so it\u2019s a real honour to be a part of such an iconic British programme.\u2019<\/p>\n

Meanwhile,\u00a0bodybuilder Morsia, who is best known as Legends on Gladiators, said: \u2018Everyone knows how good I am at being on TV, but turns out I\u2019m even better at watching it. <\/p>\n

\u2018Wow. Absolutely incredible sofa performance.<\/p>\n

\u2018I 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.\u2019<\/p>\n

His co-star Aikines-Aryeetey, who competed alongside Clarke in the 2025 series of Strictly, said: \u2018Filming Celebrity Gogglebox was pure fun from start to finish, just a proper night-in full of laughs, brilliant TV, and plenty of unexpected moments. <\/p>\n

\u2018It was a really enjoyable experience and great fun to be part of.\u2019<\/p>\n

Clarke said filming Gogglebox gave him an excuse to tease his sofa partner and fellow content creator Max Balegde.<\/p>\n

\u2018He 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,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the line-up of Celebrity Gogglebox newbies, comedian and actor Julian Clary said of his contributions: \u2018I 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.\u2019<\/p>\n
