Celebrity Gogglebox was back on our screens tonight and the show reunited TV royalty. Sitting down to watch the telly was none other than The Royle Family stars Ricky Tomlinson and Sue Johnston.
The pair played husband and wife, Jim and Barbara, in the hit sitcom. But as they sat down to watch some of the latest TV and films, the duo proved they were just as funny in real life.
Ricky had viewers in stitches as he joked with his former co-star. Especially when one of the shows aired a young man who was so drunk he got out of bed and forgot to cover himself up.

Attempting to save Sue from the sight, Ricky joked: "You shouldn't be watching this at your age." He then covered her eyes so she couldn't see the untrousered young man.
Viewers watching Celebrity Gogglebox at home loved seeing the pair back working together. Taking to Twitter, Carrie Thomas (@carriet1234) said: "It's great seeing Ricky and Sue together again."
Susan Seddon (@SuzeHopper1) found Ricky hilarious. She said: "'You shouldn't be watching this at your age." Well said Ricky #CelebrityGogglebox."
While everyone found the duo funny, many noted that Ricky was very similar to his character in The Royle Family.Sara (@Mabel_Mouse_) added: "I love how Ricky Tomlinson is watching the telly in the same manner as Jim Royle #CelebrityGogglebox."
Dan Harvey (@DanHarvey74) added: "Was Ricky Tomlinson even acting in The Royle Family?"
Some even pointed out that his one-liners were very Jim-esque. JR (@J_R_2018) said: "‘I’ve had more fun in the dentist’ Ricky Tomlinson really was just playing himself in the Royle Family, wasn't he? #CelebrityGogglebox."
