Celebrity Gogglebox is gearing up for it's return this year, with the likes of Little Mix and Celebrity Big Brother's Rylan Clark-Neal, and his mother, topping the list of those set to appear. The girls will reportedly appear alongside one another in one episode.

With other stars lined up to appear including Strictly Come Dancing's Oti Mabuse and Nick Grimshaw, we are sure this will be a series to remember. Oti will appear throughout the whole series, whilst Nick, who will be chillaxing on the sofa alongside his niece Liv, will appear in just one ep.

Check out all the facts you didn't know about Gogglebox...

1) The Gogglebox cast had to be persuaded to star on the show

Gogglebox creator Stephen Lambert has revealed that they DIDN'T have anyone audition to be on Gogglebox; in fact, they had to persuade the majority of their families to be on the show.


"Everybody on Gogglebox has been found and persuaded to be on the show and I think that's the key to why they are likeable and why the show works, because we get to know these people," he explained to The Radio Times.
