As Celebrity Gogglebox comes back to screens, new and returning famous faces are taking to the sofa to entertain the nation.

It boasts an impressive alumni, including father-and-daughter duo Danny and Dani Dyer; married reality stars Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash; Spice Girls icon Mel B and her daughter Phoenix Chi – to name just a few.
The seventh season is welcoming a fresh new cohort of stars to gain their Gogglebox stripes with everyone from comedy legends to pop icons.
As the full line-up is slowly revealed, there are even exciting rumours of exactly who will complete the cast such as Alison Hammond and her son Aiden who have already done a travel show together.
So, without further ado, here's who to expect cropping up on your screen every Friday night.
The Inbetweeners star James Buckley has delighted fans after confirming he and his wife Clair will appear on the show this year.
The 37-year-old actor, best known for portraying Jay Cartwright in the hit 00s sitcom, took to social media to share the exciting news.
'Hi guys, how's it going? We are joining the Gogglebox family. We're going to be watching some great TV and some not so great TV. And you'll be able to join us on Friday on Channel 4 at 9pm,' he said.
James and Clair have already won fans over with their joint YouTube/podcast/book brand, At Home With The Buckleys which tackles 'the wild ride that is modern marriage, parenting and adulting'. https://www.instagram.com/p/DKZ_FwvCanh/
The parents of two children – Harrison and Jude – are candid about their 'early lives, years of cult TV fame, having children and setting up their YouTube channel', cultivating over 250k subscribers.
If that wasn't enough, they also have another podcast, In Sickness and In Health which focuses on discussing 'relationship non-negotiables.'
As such, there is plenty of excitement to see this dynamic duo bring their witty rapport to the Gogglebox sofa.
'Can't wait to see you on it jay cartwright you legend,' Chris_leeds_united_woodrow said.
'Omg I'm buzzing!! Cannot wait!' jessica_sellwood95 echoed.
'These two are class. What an addition to Gogglebox this is gonna be,' kellyann83 agreed.
Next up, we have pop singer Jess Glynne, 35, and her partner Alex Scott, 40, who is a well-known former Lioness and sports commentator.
Taking to Instagram to share their involvement in the new season, the loved-up couple said: 'We are both so excited to be joining the Gogglebox family.'
Alex then turned to the Hold My Hand hitmaker and asked, 'Are you ready to watch some TV?' to which Jess responded, 'Yeah, are you?' and Alex replied in the affirmative, encouraging viewers to join them on Friday. https://www.instagram.com/p/DKe0DC4isSC/?hl=en
The brand-new stars have been in a happy relationship since summer 2023 and have been seen together at plenty of red carpet events.
Jess spoke about the joy she has found in life to Metro last year: 'I am happy, I feel like I've found a really good balance in my life. I've got support in my family, my business, my partner, everyone around me.'
Of course they have sparked plenty of excitement among fans.
'Aww looking forward to this weeks episode even more,' user raerubyraek said.
'No place I'd rather be,' officialanmollakhani joked.
After a standout year of cameos from Big Boys to Doctor Who, Rylan is charming the nation for another year as he returns to the sofa with mum Linda.
First joining the show in 2019, the mother-and-son duo have been staples of the Channel 4 reality show.
In a recent Instagram post, they confirmed this dynamic duo would be shaking things up again with Rylan joking: 'Cor, someone's had her makeup done, look!'
Fans celebrated their return, calling them 'the best'. https://www.instagram.com/p/DKed5aJiNJR/?hl=en
The Happy Monday rockers are back at it for another season as they announced on social media.
'We're back on Gogglebox with crisps, chocolate, jelly babies, popcorn and we're gonna watch tele and what?' Bez asked Shaun.
'Talk a right load of b****,' Shaun gleefully responded.
The pair have made quite the spalsh on the show, with such vibrant chemistry that fans have veen called for them to get their own show all together.
In 1993, the pair formed Black Grape together and remained close friends since then https://www.instagram.com/p/DKeRYPwCp1Q/?hl=en
British swimmer Ellie Simmonds and close friend, radio personality Richie Anderson – who were co-stars on Strictly Come Dancing in 2022 – are returning for another season of Gogglebox.
'When I got the call I did wonder whether I should do it. Then I thought I'd do a leap of faith. You don't know until you try,' Ellie said about her decision to join at the time.
The retired Paralympian, who recently featured in a new documentary, Ellie Simmonds: Should I Have Children, called their return to the show as 'so exciting'.
The famed Radio 1 broadcaster Nick Grimshaw – who first appeared on the show in 2019 – is returning for another season of Gogglebox shenanigans with his niece, Liv.
In a chat with The Times last year, the regular joked: 'I love watching telly in the evening but watching myself watching telly on Gogglebox is a step too far.
'When I do, I spend the next few hours thinking, 'Wow, I really shouldn't be on the TV,' which I think is a healthy reaction.'
This year has seen another big career milestone for the DJ and presenter who has recently joined the 6 Music Breakfast Show. https://www.instagram.com/p/DKcxGvzi8yW/?hl=en
Comic duo – Babatunde Aleshe and Mo Gilligan – are back, back again.
As Mo said: 'We're back, we hope you're back too. Come on! No scary movies though please.'
Babatunde was in full agreement although they both seemed to quickly accept their fate that there was likely a scary movie in their future.
The longtime friends and collaborators decided to join Celebrity Gogglebox when their work dried up over the pandemic.
The I'm A Celebrity star recounted: 'Then the pandemic hit, and the tour got postponed. I was like OK, right, back to square one.
'But then [Mo] said, 'look, we're still guaranteed to do the tour, but in the meanwhile do you want to join me on Celebrity Gogglebox?' And I said 'hell, yeah!' And so it all fell into place. I started doing that, and then my manager at TfL informed me that they had to let me go.'
Last but certainly not least, Diversity duo Jordan Banjo and Perri Kiely are back.
The Britian's Got Talent winners and self-proclaimed 'besties' are sitting shoulder-to-shoulder' in the new series, as they told fans.
They first appeared on the show with brother Ashley Banko in September 2021 and have been regulars since then. More Trending

Five Great Reads: Jacinda Ardern, how they made The Goonies, and a year of celibacy
Top of the weekend to you all. This week's learning: sometimes you have to endure the tedium to experience the joy. Happy reading. Apparently there is more to YouTube than cat videos and countdowns of the 17 post-grunge songs that should have been massive (but weren't). Just ask the 400 million people who subscribe to MrBeast, creator of such viral smashes as I Spent 100 Hours Inside the Pyramids! and I Survived the 5 Deadliest Places on Earth. Jimmy Donaldson, the 27-year-old behind the moniker, is a big deal. Mark O'Connell goes deep on an entertainer who he describes as 'monomaniacally committed to a lethally pure conception of algorithmically determined entertainment'. Star-maker performance: Donaldson's breakout video was 2017's I Counted to 100,000!, which, over the course of about 40 hours, did exactly what it said on the tin. How long will it take to read: Twelve minutes. A key to the appeal of The Goonies is perhaps the casting: enduring stars Josh Brolin, Sean Astin, Ke Huy Quan and Martha Plimpton among them, all before they were famous. Astin and some of his fellow child actors, alongside crew members and Joe Pantoliano – one of the film's adult villains – share the inside story of what it was like on the set 40 years ago. Steven Spielberg plays a prominent, uncredited role. Friends for life: The cast members stay in touch via an email chain and still catch up. 'We just know one another, and we kind of pick up exactly were we left off,' says Kerri Green, who played Andy. 'It's pretty special.' How long will it take to read: Five minutes. Further reading: Speaking of classic children's films of 1985, Marty McFly's guitar from Back to the Future is missing. Jacinda Ardern likes drum'n'bass, has been seen in Portishead T-shirts, and was elected prime minister of New Zealand aged 37. Just six years later, as Jacinda-mania began to sour with some constituents, she dramatically resigned. In her first major interview since calling it quits, Ardern takes the Guardian's editor-in-chief Katharine Viner through her Mormon upbringing, her entry to politics, and learning she was pregnant days before becoming PM. 'I've always felt like I had a general sense of where New Zealand is at on something. I relied on it a lot while I was in office. You feel an energy.' – Ardern on what guided her response to the Christchurch mosque massacre. How long will it take to read: Ten minutes. Further reading: Ardern asked Queen Elizabeth II for advice on parenting in the public eye – the monarch's response was succinct and pragmatic.

Sign up to receive it in your inbox every Saturday morning after newsletter promotion Daniel Janzen has been monitoring insects in Costa Rica's Guanacaste conservation area since 1978. The first 'light trap' he set up helped scientists identify an astonishing 3,000 species – these days, far fewer moths flutter towards the glow. The declining numbers are part of what some call a 'new era' of ecological collapse, where rapid extinctions occur in regions that have little direct contact with people. The loss of insect life can set other dominoes falling, and a clear culprit has emerged: global heating. How long will it take to read: Five minutes. Further reading: Blatten, the tiny Swiss village engulfed by a mountain – another entry from our age of extinction series. The US professor and author Melissa Febos reckons humans have a 'collective derangement' around love and sex, hooked on the early stages of infatuation. So after a 'ravaging vortex' of a relationship and five other 'brief entanglements' she went cold turkey for a year. The Dry Season, her new memoir, details how her life subsequently flourished. Happy ending: Having redefined love as 'contingent upon a very conscious choice to support the flourishing of another person', Febos met her now wife. How long will it take to read: Five minutes.
