Celebrity Gogglebox’s Channel 4 future revealed after six series on air
FANS of Celebrity Gogglebox have been told they won’t have to wait long to hear about the series’ fate.
It’s been confirmed that this summer will see the return of the star- filled show where well know faces will settle on to couches, arm chairs and celebrity thrones for a seventh time.
Fans have been waiting to see if Celebrity Gogglebox would be back in 2025[/caption] Channel 4 have confirmed that we’ll be seeing famous faces and their sofas again this summer[/caption] Viewers are keen to see which celebrities will be returning like fan favourite Miriam Margolyes[/caption]Channel 4 have been running a celebrity version of the popular show since back in 2014.
Back then a Stand Up to Cancer special saw the likes of Noel Gallagher, Kate Moss and the late Paul O’Grady shouting, laughing and crying their way through the week’s TV.
Fans will be keen to see which famous faces will be gracing their couches this year and they’ll be looking out to see if regulars like Judi Love, Mel C and Mo Gilligan will reappear.
Names have not been confirmed but series six was a debut year for Annie Mac, Sara Cox and Rio Ferdinand so viewers will be keen to see if any new characters will be introduced this year.
Series seven was revealed as part of an announcement on a raft of confirmed Channel 4 titles for the spring and summer schedules.
These include a Stand Up to Cancer celebrity Bake Off, Series six of The Handmaids Tale, comedy–Disability Benefits staring Rosie Jones and a new dating/reality format called Virgin Island.
Channel 4 will be keen to get Celebrity Gogglebox fans back on side after a screening an episode in December that viewers thought was brand new.
As the show started to run fans quickly realised that it was a repeat of previous episodes stitched together.
Irate Goggleboxers quickly took to socials to voice their displeasure with one saying: “Really getting f****d off with the TV recently! EVERYTHING seems to be repeats!
“Got settled to watch Celeb Gogglebox thinking it was a new series, or a Christmas special! Oh how wrong am I! YET AGAIN ANOTHER REPEAT!”
Another was shocked that a prime time slot had been given over to old material: “A Christmas compilation episode on the last Friday before Christmas is very disappointing.”
One felt that they had been mislead saying: “Why are you calling this a new episode? It’s not new.”
Although there may have been 24 series of the opinion filled show so far, it’s a character from series one that’s recently been in the spotlight.
Sandra Martin was a huge character in the first nine series of the show and was well known for her famous Pot Noodle cup.
She recently took to social media to kick off at being allocated a middle seat on a Ryan Air flight, where it seems she felt that her position as a celebrity meant that she should never have been expected to be sandwiched between two strangers.
New Love Island feud exposed as Harriett slammed by show rival on TikTok over ‘council house’ jibe
LOVE Island All Stars’ Harriett Blackmore has been slammed by a show rival over remarks she allegedly made about Ronnie Vint.
During last night’s episode of Love Island All Stars Ronnie was seen begging his ex to take him back, following Harriett‘s bombshell arrival.
Now Patsy Field – who was in the villa with the exes last year – has fuelled her feud with Harriett.
Patsy took to Instagram to claim Harriett once mocked Ronnie for “living on a council estate”.
Speaking in a video, Patsy alleged she was present Harriett was heading to Ronnie’s house for the first time.
She said: “They got the post code, they got it up on Google Maps and they started creasing, wetting their pants, over the fact it was on a council estate.
“Zooming in on the house going, ‘Oh my god it’s so small, I don’t know if I can do this, I’m so embarrassed… it’s giving council estate’.”
But fans noticed that Ronnie’s sister was quick to fire back at Patsy in the comments.
She wrote: “As Ronnie’s sister, let me clarify he does not live on a council estate.
“Patsy is bang out of order over this. Using Ronnie as a tool in her Harriett hate campaign.”
Last night Ronnie was left frustrated after begging Harriett to give their relationship another try.
She told him: “I’m not in love with you in anymore, I love you but you hurt me.
“Why would I be in love with someone who hurt me?”
Harriett insisted she is open to getting to know the other boys and brought up Ronnie’s behaviour in the villa last year.
She said: “I owe it to myself, I gave you everything and you didn’t give me… If I actually want to get to know someone and I have a genuine connection, of course I will.
“You did it! You didn’t even do it once, you did it three or four times.”
Everyone can see the doctors in this hospital scene but you need 20/20 vision to spot the hidden werewolf in 7 seconds
THIS is the tricky teaser to test your vision and brain power.
Everyone can see the three doctors hanging out in the hospital, but only those with 20/20 vision are able to spot the hidden werewolf within seven seconds.
Can you spot the hidden werewolf within seven seconds?[/caption]When you turn up to the hospital it’s usually because you need medical help of some kind.
And in your hour of need, you would hope to be cared for by capable and considerate staff.

Werewolves are usually considered to be the stuff of folklore – and films like Harry Potter.
But he we have in front of us indisputable evidence of a werewolf walking among us.
In fact, he puts on his uniform every day and goes to work as a doctor.
The question is – which of the three men in the picture is our shapeshifter?
Here’s a clue if you’re struggling.
Think about what might be a werewolf’s most distinctive features – and then see if any of the docs sport them too.
Time must be running out by now – so hurry up!
But don’t worry if you can’t figure the puzzle out – we’ve included the answer below.

THE national blood supply has plummeted across Ireland due to “exceptionally high demand” for donations over the last year.
The Irish Blood Transfusion Service said that severe weather conditions like Storm Eowyn combined with high levels of respiratory illnesses have led to a significant reduction in blood donations.
The service has urged the public to give blood over the next few days as fears grow over scarce stocks, with just a few days supply left in most blood groups.
Paul McKinney, IBTS’ Director of Donor Services and Logistics, explained: “In order to avoid putting further pressure on our hospital system, we need over 12,000 donations in the coming days and weeks, to restore the blood supply, and safely support our health service.
“In 2024, the IBTS issued the highest number of blood donation units to Irish hospitals in over a decade, at just under 128,500 units.
“This exceptionally high demand has continued unabated into 2025.”
New donors, younger donors and donors of all ethnicities have all be urged to come forward and donate blood in the coming days.
McKinney said: “We are asking people who might never have given blood before, or it’s been a while, to make it their goal to give blood, and the priceless gift of life, to those in our communities and hospitals who need it.”
The service has urged the public to give blood at the 12 clinics open across Ireland this week.
Giveblood.ie said online: “Following the impact of Storm Eowyn, IBTS has issued an urgent appeal for blood donations with supplies very low.
“We need this week’s clinics to be filled to avoid an impact on our hospitals!”
The clinics listed below will be running between January 27 and February 2:
- Ballyjamesduff, Co Cavan
- Bantry, Co Cork
- Duleek, Co Meath
- Kilrush, Co Clare
- Kingscourt, Co Cavan
- Listowel, Co Kerry
- Malahide, Co Dublin
- Portlaoise, Co Laois
- Rathkeale, Co Limerick
- Skibbereen, Co Cork
- Swords, Co Dublin
- Westport, Co Mayo
Stillorgan, Dublin; D’Olier Street, Dublin; and St Finbarr’s, Cork will continue to see weekly clinics operating.
The IBTS added: “IBTS has issued an urgent appeal, in the wake of Storm Eowyn, for blood donations, with supplies very low.
“Between the severe weather, high demand, and illness in our communities, we need over 12,000 donations in the coming days and weeks, including pre bank holiday.
“Be a life saver and give blood at one of our blood donation clinics this week.
“Existing donors can book an appointment online and all possible donors can call 1800 731 137 to find available appointments.”
WHAT SHOULD I KNOW BEFORE DONATING?
HERE'S everything you need to know about giving blood:
- Check your likely eligibility by taking the short new donor eligibility quiz
- There is also a lot more information about eligibility in the FAQ section on the IBTS wesbite, or you can call 1800 731 137 if you want to talk to someone and ask further questions
- If eligible now (or in the future after any advised waiting period) an appointment will be arranged to give blood or a sample
- If for your first donation, you are only able to give a sample (as is often the case), you only need to wait 42 days to be able to give full donations – and then every 90 days between donations!
- If for any reason you are unable to give blood, please encourage your friends and family to become blood donors
Those interested in donating blood have been urged to check their eligibility before attending a clinic.
The IBTS has confirmed that Ireland needs more donors from all backgrounds to meet the needs of “all our patients” in hospitals.
It said: “Increasingly more people of diverse backgrounds are now eligible to give blood in Ireland including many of whom were previously unable, including donors of African heritage.
“The recent introduction of malarial testing for blood donation samples means we can now take blood from a far more diverse range of donors than previously.
“Many potential donors who were not eligible previously, including people born or who resided in a malarial area for a longer period of time, may now be able to give blood, subject to other normal criteria.”
Best Six Nations stars of all time revealed with England legend No1 and Red Rose dominating top 10
ENGLAND legend Jonny Wilkinson has been named the best Six Nations player of all time – ahead of Welsh stars Sir Gareth Edwards and JPR Williams.
The World Cup-winning fly half had a glittering career, with a total of 91 caps for England as well as hoovering up trophies at club level.
Irish captain Brian O’Driscoll placed fourth on the list, with his fearlessness securing his legacy as one of the most exciting players in Six Nations history.
While English rugby fans also championed Martin Johnson, whose ball carrying skills and physical resilience made him a modern icon, landing him in fifth place.
The poll of 2,000 rugby fans also revealed generational divides in player preferences, with older fans opting for legends from the ‘Five Nations’ era, such as Wales’ Edwards.
A spokesperson for Lottoland.co.uk, which commissioned the research alongside its Sportsbook team, said: “We’ve been lucky enough to have seen some incredible players down the years.
“As the Five Nations changed to Six, some things haven’t changed at all when it comes to making yourself a hero of the game.
“It’s not even all about winning, it’s about the way they made fans feel, and their contributions to exciting matches.”
The study also found some players Brits believe have been overrated in the Nations tournaments, with Jeremy Guscott topping the list.
But teamwork and the ability to elevate teammates were the attributes players most needed to be in the ‘GOAT’ conversation (36 per cent).

While 29 per cent wanted to see a consistency in performance across matches, and the same amount opted for technical ability.
Although 23 per cent simply liked a player who exhibited passion and pride in representing their nation.
Nearly a fifth (18 per cent) have been so moved by a Five or Six Nations player they’d consider naming a child after them – if they hadn’t already done so.
Ireland are the favourites to take home the win from this year’s tournament, with 27 per cent believing they’ll go all the way – compared to 25 per cent opting for England.
Just one per cent think Italy have what it takes to win, with 10 per cent also believing they shouldn’t even remain in the event.
In fact, 21 per cent of rugby fans, polled via OnePoll, would like to see the Six Nations expanded to include more teams.
Lottoland’s spokesperson added: “Rugby fans are as passionate off the pitch as the players are on it, and the Six Nations always sparks lively debates about the legends of the game.
“From record-breaking moments to unforgettable performances, every fan has their favourites—and that’s what makes these conversations so engaging.
“The beauty of rugby is that every generation has its icons, and the Six Nations is the stage where many of them shine.”
