Strictly Come Dancing's Anton Du Beke swiftly offered an apology after revealing a Celebrity Gogglebox "spoiler".
The former professional dancer, 58, is set to feature on the celebrity edition of Channel 4's popular programme, which first aired in 2013, with his fellow Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood.
Before his appearance on the show tonight (June 20), Anton joined This Morning's Friday episode, chatting with presenters Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary, reports Edinburgh Live.
Anton began by announcing, "Gogglebox tonight with Craig Revel Horwood." Alison expressed her enthusiasm for their upcoming stint, responding, "Brilliant. That's going to be great."
However, the Strictly Judge let slip a "spoiler" as he disclosed: "Can I say this out loud? We had to talk about Love Island for a bit. We watched a bit of Love Island. Can I say that? Is that a spoiler?".

Alison suggested, "You probably did, and you're probably going to get in trouble for this." Anton interjected: "I'm probably going to get in trouble. Apologies to Channel 4," prompting Alison to quip, "Thank you for the exclusive."
Anton added: "We had a little bit of that (Love Island) and other stuff." Dermot was curious about which residence they chose for filming.
Yet, revealing another behind-the-scenes "secret," Anton confessed: "Oh, right, no, we went to a place. I thought.."
Before he could complete his thought, Alison chimed in with: "So you had a pretend one (house)." To which Anton agreed: "Yeah."
The studio erupted in laughter as Dermot concluded the segment imitating the Gogglebox narrator.

The blockbuster spin-off will feature Anton and Craig sharing their humorous take on the week's television highlights comfortably from their couches.
Having collaborated for over two decades, the duo joined the inaugural series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2004 and have paired up on the dance circuit even prior to that.
They are set to grace Celebrity Gogglebox next to the recent addition Vernon Kay, who is Tess Daly's husband and a fellow Strictly veteran.
Anton couldn't contain his enthusiasm, saying: "I'm super excited to be swapping the judges' chair for a comfy sofa! Sitting down with my dear friend and fellow Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood to enjoy a bit of telly on this new series of Gogglebox."

Coronation Street legend Sue Cleaver gives health update after quitting ITV soap – and reveals TV and Loose Women future
The actress revealed exactly when she made the decision to leave the soap - and it may surprise you CORONATION Street legend Sue Cleaver has given fans a fresh health update after quitting the ITV soap after 25 years. The actress, who played telly favourite Eileen Grimshaw since 2000, waved goodbye to the cobbles in an emotional exit episode earlier this month. 7 Coronation Street's Sue Cleaver has opened up about her health in a new interview Credit: Rex 7 The Loose Women star admitted she felt 'faint' at times while filming the show Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 7 Sue said she has taken control of her life again with the use of Dexcom Credit: Dexcom 7 Sue said she is chuffed with her Corrie legacy as the star exited the soap after 25 years Credit: Shutterstock Editorial Behind-the-scenes, Sue, 61, was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes over 20 years ago, and while she's known for her strength on screen, the star admitted at times she'd feel faint while filming. But the star has now revealed that the use of Dexcom, a continuous glucose monitor, has helped give her back control of her life. Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Sue said: "I think there is a lot of misunderstanding around diabetes, people tell you can't eat chocolate or sugar - but where I struggle with my diabetes is when I'm about to go on stage or when I'm about to go on Loose Women or live shows. "Before I go on I'd have to prick my finger and check if my sugar is stable enough to get me to the interval or do I need to eat." Sue admitted there has been times that she's felt "faint" on screen. "If I'm about to go on stage or live shows and I don't know if I'm going to make it if my sugars aren't stable enough, and I don't have time to prick my finger, you tend to think 'let me eat this thing now' and then you tend to feel the effects of it later or the middle of the show. "But with Dexcom, I just have to look at my phone and see my sugar levels, it takes all of the worry out of it." TV FUTURE After quitting the soap, Sue has now also revealed what her future TV career plans include and whether or not she'll join a rival soap. She told us: "I'm chuffed with my Coronation Street legacy, they gave me a wonderful send off and the ending that I asked for and I wanted Eileen's exit to mirror what I feel I'm doing and what I want other women to do - to live fearlessly, don't let fear hold you back, be who you want to be. "It's never too late to try something new, that's what I wanted for her, this realisation for her to go 'hang on a minute, I don't have to stay, I can do something completely different, all it takes is courage. Coronation Street's Eileen Grimshaw waves goodbye to the cobbles after 25 years "I think people forget that you either have courage or you don't, courage is a muscle, start really small and put yourself our of your comfort zone for a couple of minutes a day, enquire about book club or evening class, because that muscle really does." Sue said her final scenes "brought a tear to her eye" as she saw a row of taxis lined up down the street, with her character having worked at StreetCars taxi firm during her time on the soap. "There were moments when I had a little wave of emotion, we filmed the final scene on a Thursday and we went out for dinner and I came back on the Friday to do some other scenes and at the end of that it was really weird feeling, but it felt right." The TV star admitted she now has the "freedom" to explore other passion projects after spending over two decades at ITV. She said: "It was the right time for me to go, the door is still open, my hearts there, my husband still works there, I still see them all. "But for now, it's absolutely the right thing, it's time for me to have some freedom, to not be committed to things, to do passion projects, which is why I'm going back to the theatre. "I love doing Loose Women, there are other things I want to do and there is a lot more of the world I want to see." Although Sue has the freedom to join other soaps, she admitted her loyalties still lie with Corrie, saying: "I don't think so at this stage, I think I'm very committed to Corrie and Corrie has been very committed to me. "I've been incredibly fortunate and it gave me the opportunity that not many actresses have, to be at home, to be there for my son in the morning and put him to bed at night and to have a proper home life, whereas normally you have to go where the work is. "I've been extremely fortunate, it's not lost on me how lucky I've been, it has a big place in my heart." SUE'S DECISION TO LEAVE Soap fans were devastated after it was announced that matriarch Eileen was set to leave the soap, just months after Helen Worth, who played Gail Platt, also said farewell. She said: "Weirdly enough I remember quite a long time before it came out that Helen was going, she rang me and said 'I just wanted to ring and tell you I'm leaving', and I went 'Helen, I just want to tell you I'm leaving as well'." A number of stars on the soap have been axed over the last few years amid budget cuts. However, Sue, who starred on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here in 2022, admitted she left the soap on her terms and had made the decision years ago. "I made the decision to leave when I went and did the jungle, I'd known for a while, it had been a while in the planning," she said. HEALTH UPDATE Sue has opened up about wearing the Dexcom ONE+, a continuous glucose monitor that helps track her glucose levels to manage her Type 2 diabetes. Sue said: "Dexcom has made a big difference in my life, having diabetes and having decision fatigue - it can be a mental marathon all the time. "Diabetes is lifelong and the management is lifelong and you do get tired thinking about what you can eat and what impact it's going to have. "What I love about Dexcom, it helps me see how my body is reacting to stress, food in real time. It stops me needing to guess but it tracks all the trends. Dexcom is a small, fast and easy to use, helping to simplify diabetes management for those with Type 2. Dexcom's new State of Type 2 Report - which looked at patients and doctors in the UK and other key European cities - discovered 72% of those living with Type 2 Diabetes believe that using a CGM device helps to improve their lives, a further 74% believe that it would also reduce the risk of complications. EXIT STORYLINE Sue said she told ITV bosses that she wanted her on-screen son Ryan Thomas to return as part of her exit storyline. She said: "I asked for Ryan to come back, I rang him even before I rang Corrie to let him know I was leaving. I told him not to say anything and asked him to come back and he went 'I'd have to for my mother'. They asked me what plan of exit I'd like and I said I want Eileen to go off to Thailand to start her new life and Ryan to come back and take me." The theatre star said she now has the freedom work on various other projects after dedicating over two decades to the soap. "I won't miss being tied to people, I'm really enjoying my freedom and getting up in the morning and going to the gym and deciding what to do with my day," she continued. "Everything I do now are passion projects like going back to the theatre. "I've got so much going on at the minute." Although Sue is no long on Corrie, she has her hands full with other TV jobs including being a panelist on Loose Women. But the star firmly hit back at rumours that the panel is feuding. Sue said: "I love it. I've known the girls for years, it's such a fun thing to do. It's that typical thing, Denise and I will disagree with something on the show, we're great mates, we've known each other for 26 years but then there are rumours that they've fallen out, we've not fallen out over anything. "People don't say that when you see Match of the Day, can we not please move on. "It is one big family and a huge amount of loyalty. We're very honest and brave and we put ourselves out there and in order to do that we have to feel very safe. "We don't wear our heart on our sleeve and talk about things like that when you don't feel safe. "There aren't clashes, we're making our programme and doing our job - it's just different opinions, we're not falling out with each other. I get on with everybody, I love them all. It's just really nice." Last month it was announced that Loose Women will air for only 30 weeks of the year from January. Speaking about her Loose Women future, Sue said: "Nobody knows what's happening in TV, I'm just getting on with what I'm doing in my life and I'm just enjoying it. "I've had a great time on it, I've had a great ride, I don't know what will happen in the future - I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow or the next hour." 7 Sue has hit back at rumours that the Loose Women panel is feuding Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 7 The actress revealed the moment she knew she wanted to leave the soap Credit: ITV

Love Island's most outrageous conspiracy theory yet as fans claim one star is an 'AI bot' after string of 'glitchy' moments - but have YOU noticed them?
Love Island fans have shared what might be the most outrageous conspiracy theory in the show's history. Viewers of the ITV2 dating show have claimed that one of the Islanders is an ' AI bot' and was suffering a string of 'glitchy' moments while in the iconic villa. The sexy singleton in question is none other than Yasmin Pettet, 24. The commercial banking executive, who is currently coupled up with Shea Mannings, 25, entered the villa alongside Emily Moran, 24, and Malisha Jordan, 24, earlier this week and has certainly ruffled a few feathers amongst the cast. She has gone after 25-year-old Megan Moore's man Dejon Noel Williams, 26, and also laid it on thick with 29-year-old Helena Ford's beau Harry Cooksley, 30. But her perfect posture while chatting with her co-stars and standing by the firepit has raised a few eyebrows. One fan took to TikTok to share the bizarre theory with a selection of clips and the caption: 'Guys I'm scared... I think she's AI.' Meanwhile others have taken to X, formerly known as Twitter, to say the same thing. 'Yas is actually AI.' 'This Yas girl gotta be AI.' 'I saw someone say Yasmin is AI and bro she is literally not real.' 'Yasmin is the certified first Love island AI icon #Loveisland #loveislanduk.' 'Are we sure Yasmin isn't AI robot? #LoveIsland.' Another said on Instagram: 'AI Yasmin, we needed her.' Yasmin has been bringing the drama this season - and fans are loving it. The beauty left Dejon shocked when she asked if he'd consider a threesome with her and Toni Laites, 24. She's also not been afraid to get to know other guys - including Harry. The pair snogged during last night's episode, leaving his girl Helena fuming, as well as her man Shea. During a recent challenge Yasmin kissed two other boys during the course of the game. When she pulled Shea for a chat around the fire pit to check in, he told her: 'You made me look like a mug.' Yasmin replied: 'Yeah, that wasn't my intention, it was just a game that I felt everyone else was playing way too safe.' One wrote on Instagram: 'Yasmin speaks the truth tho and she is gorgeous.' 'I love Yasmin.' 'Ngl I actually loveee this girl!! Yasmin.' 'The Yasmin show... is exactly what she wanted and she's certainly got it!' Before entering the villa, Yasmin said: I'm looking for a guy who is fit, has a nice body and who is funny with a bit of banter.' When asked what her ick is, she revealed: 'A guy that's stingy.' Love Island airs on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX. NAME: Dejon Noel Williams AGE: 26 FROM: London OCCUPATION: Semi-pro footballer and personal trainer WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Someone who is beautiful on the inside and out, looks after themselves and is healthy CLAIM TO FAME? My dad being an ex-professional footballer. I've met all kinds of famous people through him. When I was younger it was weird because he was just my dad, but we'd go to a game and fans were asking for photos. I've met David Beckham, he was really nice. Megan Moore NAME: Megan Moore AGE: 25 FROM: Southampton OCCUPATION: Payroll specialist WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? I'd like to meet someone who is tall, with a nice tan, nice eyes and a nice smile.

Taking hours to do my hair NAME: Alima Gagio AGE: 23 FROM: Glasgow OCCUPATION: Wealth Management Client Services Executive WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? A tall man with a handsome face. You know when you just look at a guy and they have that Disney prince look to them? That's it WOULD MAYA HIRE YOU FOR YOUR FLIRTING SKILLS? I think she'd hire me because I'm a good flirt. I always ask guys on a night out to guess which country I'm originally from. If they get it right, they can get my number. But they never guess correctly so it works really well if you don't want to give a guy your number. I'm originally from Guinea Bissau. If they're close and I really fancy them, I'll give them my number anyway. NAME: Ben Holbrough AGE: 23 FROM: Gloucester OCCUPATION: Private Hire Taxi driver WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

I feel like Northern people have much more banter than Southerners. If you look through my previous dating history, you'll see I clearly go for personality. You can pretty much laugh me into bed.

NAME: Megan Forte Clarke AGE: 24 FROM: Dublin OCCUPATION: Musical theatre performer and energy broker WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously and has a sense of humour. If they're not bad looking, that's always a plus. I love a boy that's a bit pasty, like Timothée Chalamet.

NAME: Harry Cooksley AGE: 30 FROM: Guildford OCCUPATION: Gold trader, semi-professional footballer and model WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? The girl next door that makes me laugh and can hold eye contact with me. I don't think I'd go for the most obvious girl, I like a real sweet girl. CLAIM TO FAME? I'm the body double for Declan Rice.

Clean hair cut. Someone that can make me laugh - I'm super outgoing. And someone that's quite active. Maybe one day we could start our own family together. I WANT TO DATE A BRITISH GUY BECAUSE... I've lived in three different states and I'm still single. It's time to try something new! I have some British friends and they're pretty charming. I think all Americans love a good accent. British men are just more polite, with better manners. NAME: Shea Mannings AGE: 25 FROM: Bristol OCCUPATION: Scaffolder WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

Real reason Love Island girls can't stop ‘bullying' Yasmin say fans as they slam ‘nasty' behaviour
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island fans are up in arms as Yasmin becomes the latest target in the villa – and viewers reckon they know exactly why. Tensions exploded after Yasmin locked lips with Harry THREE times in the hideaway. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Yasmin, left, took some heat last night Credit: Eroteme 5 Megan has been accused of leading the pack Credit: Eroteme 5 Helena was also seen slamming Yasmin Credit: Eroteme 5 Yas has been targetted by the girls Credit: Eroteme Add to that some X-rated 'threesome' chats with Dejon, and it seems Helena, Meg and Megan are now doing everything they can to keep her down. Last night's explosive game where islanders had to guess who said what turned savage when the girls ganged up on Yasmin, mocking her answers. Now viewers are calling out the 'nasty' behaviour and branding the girls 'jealous' and 'intimidated'. One fan wrote: 'Helena, Meg and Megan repeating they're not threatened by Yasmin makes me think they are…' Another tweeted: 'Meg has been non-stop harassing Yasmin and making nasty comments. I'm surprised Yasmin hasn't snapped already.' A third said: 'These girls are being SO nasty to Yasmin when she doesn't owe them anything – their so-called 'men' do. It's so uncomfortable to watch.' Meg, in particular, is getting heat, with one viewer fuming: 'Meg showed her true colours with Malisha. She's just a bully.' Another said: 'They're blatantly looking down on her because they think they're hotter. That's the basis of it – pure jealousy.' However, not everyone is on Team Yas. One critic wasn't buying her confidence, writing: 'Nah. Yas is a desperate pick-me. It's not genuine – it's attention-seeking to appear more fun and exciting. Watch as Love Island's Harry and Yasmin's share passionate secret snog behind Helena's back with lip-biting and neck scratching 'She keeps putting down the other girls to lift herself up. It's tragic.' Viewers had already accused one girl of bullying another bombshell. Love Island star Malisha Jordan broke her silence last night on claims she was "bullied" while in the villa by Meg Moore. Malisha spoke out after being brutally dumped by bombshell Harrison Solomon, who had to either send her or Toni Laites home. During her time in the villa, Malisha found herself at the centre of a "bullying" row after clashing with Meg Moore. Meg was furious with Malisha for getting to know her man Dejon Noel-Williams and fans watching at home felt she was being picked on. But in a Q&A with fans now she is out of the show, 24-year-old Malisha has quashed the claims. The teaching assistant, who is already back home in the UK, was asked: "Is there any bad blood between you and Meg?" She replied: "No, but I'll answer all about this on Aftersun on Sunday x." Malisha's time in the villa was marred by her fallout with Meg over fitness trainer Dejon. The girls came to blows several times after Malisha insisted on chatting to Dejon despite him being coupled up with Meg. Following her exit, Malisha said: "I don't regret anything, I did what I needed to do as a bombshell. "Sometimes the reactions were a bit uncalled for. "I did go into the first chat with an open mind and I said I don't want to have any arguments. "Then it just got heated. I'm not here for the drama… a lot of it was miscommunication."
