Another added: "Yesssss!! The perfect pair!" while a third posted: "looking forward to this."

Someone else tweeted: "So excited to see this I always watch @C4Gogglebox."

The news comes after it was reported that Celebrity Gogglebox bosses had managed to sign up Tinie Tempah for the new series.

Bosses allegedly signed him up as part of Channel 4's Black to Front takeover, which aims to put Black talent in the spotlight.

An insider told The Sun : “Tinie is best known for his music, but he’s also a big fan of Gogglebox.

“He was approached about being part of the line-up for the special, which is being made for Black To Front, and he jumped at the chance.

“It is the first time he has appeared on the show and, who knows, he could become a more permanent feature on regular Celebrity Gogglebox if his busy schedule allows.”

Mirror Online contacted Channel 4 and Tinie's reps for comment.

Celebrity Gogglebox airs Friday at 9pm on Channel 4.
