Googlebox’s Denise Van Outen requests Girls Aloud's Kimberley Walsh to replace her 'axed' ex

Gogglebox has made a huge change to its celebrity edition of the hit Channel 4 show.

Denise Van Outen’s ex Eddie Boxshall has been given the boot following their recent split.

The couple had been together since 2014 and have appeared on the celebrity version Gogglebox since 2019 from their home in Essex.

However recent reports claim that bosses could be replacing Eddie with Girls Aloud singer Kimberley Walsh.

Last week Denise announced her split with Eddie, who she has been with for seven years in a heartbreaking statement.

The star revealed that she discovered Eddie had been having phone sex and meeting women behind her back - she has since unfollowed Eddie on social media.

A source told the Sun newspaper: “They were already signed up to the next round of filming when Denise dumped Eddie and she wants to honour the commitment.

“But she won’t be having Eddie back in the house, let alone on her sofa, so she is looking for a friend to come on board."

The source added: “Ideally, it would be Kimberley Walsh as they’re good pals and Kimberley has been on Gogglebox before.

“The split has knocked Denise for six but she’s putting on a brave face and moving on as best she can.”

It hasn’t been confirmed yet if Kimberly will be joining Denise on the Channel 4 hit show but if she does the pair will keep viewers entertained.

Other stars used by Celebrity Gogglebox over the years include Judge Rob Rinder and Susanna Reid, as well as Rylan Clark Neal and his mum.

Bez and Shaun Ryder are also regularly used, as is Dame Maureen Lipman and Gyles Brandreth.

Celebrity Gogglebox airs on Channel 4 and also on the All 4 Hub with episodes available to stream.
