Mollie King, best known for her time in The Saturdays and as a Strictly Come Dancing semi-finalist, has signed up for the latest series of Celebrity Gogglebox alongside her partner, former cricketer Stuart Broad. The couple will appear on Friday’s episode (July 9) of the Channel 4 spin-off.
King, who also co-hosts a BBC Radio 1 show with Matt Edmondson, said the experience was a lovely chance to share their at-home viewing habits. “Between juggling busy schedules, there's nothing I enjoy more than switching off together in front of the TV, so it felt really special to share a little bit of that with viewers,” she said.
The radio DJ admitted the pair had disagreements over some programmes but enjoyed the process. “We had so many laughs filming it and, although I can't promise we agreed on every programme, we had the best time,” she added.
Broad echoed her sentiments, saying: “Celebrity Gogglebox was a genuinely enjoyable experience and a chance to show what Mollie and I are really like when the remote control is up for grabs. We had plenty of opinions, a few disagreements and a lot of laughs along the way.”
The new series of Celebrity Gogglebox, now in its eighth run, also features other new faces including Strictly star George Clark with content creator Max Balegde, and comedian Julian Clary with actor Nigel Havers. Returning favourites include Vernon Kay and Paddy McGuinness, Nick Grimshaw and his niece Liv, and Denise Van Outen with Johnny Vaughan.
