Jane tweeted: "I'm going to be appearing on Celebrity Gogglebox with my best friend Sue - it's going to be an absolute blast! We’ve shared some unforgettable moments over the years but I am really looking forward to spending time together on this wonderful show."

Her announcement comes days after Packham announced that he is set to take to the sofa alongside his stepdaughter. The naturalist and broadcaster said: "Gogglebox is a real barometer of what the nation is talking about. I am looking forward for Megan and I to add our two-bits to the conversation."

Other big names on the show include Martin and Roman Kemp, and Nick Grimshaw and his niece Liv. Also featuring are Mo Gilligan with Babatunde Aléshé, Shaun Ryder and Bez, and Sam Ryder and Scott Mills.
