Lorraine Kelly and her daughter Rosie will be brightening up Friday night television by taking to their sofa to participate in Celebrity Gogglebox.
The 61-year-old morning TV sensation is to be joined by her 25-year-old daughter to take part in the television watching television show.
Lorraine confirmed the news while hosting her own morning show on Monday during an interview with Nick Grimshaw – who himself is returning to Gogglebox with his niece following their successful appearance in the 2020 series of the Channel 4 show.
Discussing the Radio host’s involvement in the series, Lorraine announced the news that she is taking part in new episodes alongside her daughter.
The legendary morning TV host said: ”Rosie and I have been asked to do it and we love the show so much so we thought let's just do it.”
As something of a Gogglebox veteran himself, 36-year-old Grimmy gave Lorraine his top inside information of how to make the most of being on the show.
He said: "You are there for a while. You have to watch the week in telly.
"But Channel 4 pay of the snacks so you can have whatever you want.
“At the start we started off we wanted to be healthy but now we just have crisps."
Lorraine declared: "I want Salt and Vinegar crisps.”
She also hinted fans will see her looking more casual and relaxed than they might be used to seeing her when she does appear on the show.
She said: ”Clothing wise you just want to be in something comfy.
"Who would have thought about a show about us watching TV would be so entertaining. But it works so so so well."
The TV star also hinted fans should brace for truth bombs while she voices her thoughts on shows, saying to Nick: “I will need to watch what... no have I got to go for it.
"There is no point doing it and watching what you say. You have to go for it."
Rosie, who is Lorraine’s daughter with cameraman husband Steve Smith, has featured on Lorraine’s TV show in the past, occasionally appearing on the show to surprise her mum.
Last month, the pair went out to celebrate the reopening of pubs in England as lockdown began to ease, and were seen downing shots together.
And while Rosie is not strictly a TV star, she has a job in a marketing company, fans of the mum and daughter duo will doubtless be excited to see them on screens together again.
Celebrity Gogglebox returns to Channel 4 on Friday 4 June, 2021, at 9pm.
