Celebrity Gogglebox is returning. The showbiz spin-off of the much-loved Channel 4 show is making its comeback on Friday, June 16.

Ahead of the next series, Channel 4 has announced the familiar faces that will be returning to screens as well as dropping some new ones, including Davina McCall and Michael Douglas who will be joining the line-up for the first time.

Posting the list of "returners" on social media, the official Gogglebox Instagram page wrote: "#CelebrityGogglebox returns this Friday at the one-off time of 10pm on @Channel4.

New stars include Davina and Michael, and Tom Grennan with his dad Martin, with more faces set to be announced shortly. And while fans were delighted with the line-up, many were left feeling gutted that some favourites were missing from the line-up.

"They’re all amazing but am slightly heartbroken Rylan and Linda aren’t here," one said of the BBC Radio 2 presenter and his mum, while another added: "Where is Micha Richards, I won't be watching now," followed by a string of crying emoji faces.

"No Rylan or Linda," another pointed with a sad face emoji, as a fourth said: "Glad @martinjkemp and @romankemp are still there. Sad to see @rylan and his mum aren't though as they are so funny."

Others were loving the announcement, as one wrote: "What an amazing line-up. Love this show (both versions)" As another said: "Brilliant line up but Bez and Shaun are my favourites." For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
