Celebrity Gogglebox is back after a break, but even though there are some new faces, the oldies are the favourites. Fans were thrilled to welcome back Bez and Shaun Ryder of Happy Mondays.
The pair set the charts alight back in the Madchester era and in previous series of Celebrity Gogglebox have been notable for their hilarious exchanges. And Friday's (June 16) show was no exception.
Shaun and Bez are watching a programme set in Las Vegas when Bez looks thoughtful. "Have you been in Las Vegas?" he asked his former bandmate.
"Yeah, you have, we have," Shaun responds, but Bez doesn't agree: "I've never been there."
Shaun emits the exasperated laugh of a close friend: "Dude, we've played in Vegas! We've done Vegas loads of times.
"We're the Mondays, we've stayed in a motel, them giant hotels like that with all the slots going on and everything."
"Are you sure?" Bez says, perplexed.
Shaun responds: "Positive, B, yeah, yeah."
Fans of the duo were laughing out loud at the exchange. Amie @amz07 tweeted: "Bez not remembering playing in Vegas," followed by laughing emojis.
barry doherty @barrydo76 agreed, saying: "Bez is brilliant." JR @J_R_2018 couldn't say he was surprised, tweeting: "Bez forgetting he’s been to Vegas… least surprising news of the week #CelebrityGogglebox"
Everyone seemed to agree, though, that the Salfordian duo were the best thing about Celebrity Gogglebox. Mitchell Webb @MitchellWebb85 said: "Shaun and Bez on deffo on my celebrity’s I need to meet list! #GoggleBox #CelebrityGogglebox"
And Sullivan @_Sullivan11 added: "It wouldn't be the same without shaun Ryder and bez #CelebrityGogglebox"
And a Shaun and Bez special? Aisling @aislingd_88 thinks so: "I need one episode of just Bez and Shaun #CelebrityGogglebox," she tweeted, with a crying laughing emoji.
Celebrity Gogglebox is on Fridays at 9pm on Channel 4, or catch up on All4
