Celebrity Gogglebox fans make same comment as two new stars join cast

Celebrity Gogglebox fans have made similar comments as show bosses revealed two new stars have been added to its 2023 lineup.

As has happened in previous years, the cast members of the regular version are taking a well-earned break for the summer, and Celebrity Gogglebox now airs at 9pm on Fridays in its place.

Former Loose Women panelist Jane McDonald made her debut on the star studded edition as it launched last week (June 16) of the popular Channel 4 programme. The 60-year-old was joined by her friend Sue as they cast their eye on the week's best TV.

Other famous faces on the bill include Nick and Liv Grimshaw, Bez, Shaun Ryder, Paul Sinha, Olly Levy, Clare Balding, Alice Arnold, Martin and Roman Kemp, Tubsey, Big Zuu, Hyder, Rob Beckett and Tom Allen.

On Thursday, Gogglebox bosses took to social media to announce another new pair would be providing armchair commentary from this Friday (June 23). They are Adam Lambert and Beverley Knight.

A post on Instagram showed a photo of the two on their sofas, with the caption: "We're 'Starstruck' to announce that @adamlambert and @beverleyknight will be joining the #CelebrityGogglebox fam this week! Friday at 9pm, @Channel4"

Fans were clearly thrilled by the announcement, with many making the same reference in the comments section. It comes after Adam Lambert performed an "iconic" rendition of traditional nursery rhyme The Muffin Man, to the tune of Cher's 'Do You Believe in Life After Love', on Jimmy Fallon's The Tonight Show.

Amanda said: "DO YOU KNOW (the muffin man), while Caz said: "Do you know the muffin man? I'm sorry after that performance I can't get that out of my head, it was so good".

Sam said: "I will not be able to sing that song any more without the muffin man reference" and Mike said: "THE MUFFIN MAN HIMSELF!"
