Fans of Celebrity Gogglebox were thrilled as a beloved duo made their return to the Channel 4 show. The programme, which first aired almost seven years ago, kicked off a brand-new series this month. Viewers saw familiar favourites like Shaun Ryder and Mark 'Bez' Berry, Vicky Pattison and Pete Wicks, and Jennifer Saunders with her daughter Beattie. New additions included George Clarke and Max Balegde, Julian Clary and Nigel Havers, and Olivia Attwood with her mum Jennifer. However, one duo was noticeably absent from the first episode: Rylan Clark and his mum Linda.
Rylan and Linda Return
Rylan and Linda first joined the programme in 2019 and have been firm staples ever since. Although they missed the premiere, they were back in action this Friday (June 12). Sharing a clip on Instagram, the 37-year-old said: "Guess who's back on Gogglebox… It's Linda! We are very excited to be back this Friday night." Turning the camera to his mum, Rylan asked if she was excited to be back, and she confirmed she was. He finished the video by adding: "Right, we'll see you Friday night!"
Fan Reactions
Fans quickly commented on the post, with many thrilled to see them return. One person said: "Love you guys. So good to see you back and looking lovely as always." Another shared: "Hey Linda, about bl**dy time." A third fan added: "Glad you are both back, was hoping you would." One person commented: "I wondered where you guys were last week!!! Good to have you back again. Love your banter." Someone else wrote: "Delighted to hear this news - missed the pair of you last week & was hoping you would be back." Another added: "Good to see you back Linda..and Rylan of course. Cannot wait to see you both back on." On X, one person said: "Rylan and his mum back." As another added: "I love @Rylan's mum so much."
