It all kicks off this Friday night
Channel 4 has started to reveal which stars will join the cast of Celebrity Gogglebox for its upcoming new series.
Over the past few years, Celebrity Gogglebox has had its usual familiar faces on the sofa watching TV. And while there are a lot of returnees, this year the show is adding to its lineup.
The seventh season of the celebrity special – in aid of Stand Up To Cancer – begins on Friday (June 6). And, with only a few days to go, Channel 4 has started to release its cast lineup.
It looks set to be a great season already. So who is returning? And who is joining for the first time? Let’s look at the lineup so far…

TV presenter Rylan Clark is a Celebrity Gogglebox expert by now. He appeared on the very first season way back in 2019.
But then the star took a break for two years, before returning in 2022 alongside his mum, Linda. And the pair have remained on the sofa ever since.
See you Friday!
After their return was announced on Channel 4’s Instagram, fans flooded the comments to celebrate.
One wrote: “Aww, I am so happy to see you both! See you Friday!”
Another penned: “It will be good to see both of you again.”
