Celebrity Gogglebox 2022: cast of Channel 4 series with Denis Van Outen and Rylan - is Laurence Fox involved?

Gogglebox has a beautifully simple premise - you watch people watch TV as they offer the same kind of commentary as you and your family.

And in the 21st century there are three certainties in life - death, taxes, and the knowledge that if a TV show proves popular a celebrity version will be made.

Sure enough, six years after Gogglebox first aired a celebrity version was commissioned, and it is now about to enter its fourth season.

The new season will see the return of some famous faces from previous seasons, as well as some new celebrity guests.
