Celebrity Gogglebox is returning to Channel 4 for its eighth series, and the new line-up has been confirmed, featuring fresh faces alongside familiar favourites. The spin-off, which first aired in 2019, has become one of the broadcaster's most beloved programmes.
New Additions to the Cast
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. Completing the cast are Strictly star George Clarke, 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."
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)."
