Zoe Ball 'gets band back together' as she prepares for Celebrity Gogglebox

Zoe Ball said she is "getting the band back together" for another appearance on Channel 4's Celebrity Gogglebox. The hit show sees famous names gathering on their sofas to watch the week's best TV.

The Radio 2 presenter and son Woody Cook are regulars on the programme - and fans were thrilled to learn that they will be joined by Zoe's dad Johnny Ball this week. The legendary TV personality and mathematician made his debut on the sofa last June alongside Zoe and Woody.

Last year Johnny had viewers in stitches after giving his thoughts on Love Island. When Woody, who is a DJ like his dad Norman "Fatboy Slim" Cook, asked if he would consider going on the ITV dating show, he responded: "Erm, I might find it exhausting at my age, to be honest. Because I wouldn't like to leave anybody out."

Later in the same episode, he had Zoe exclaiming "Oh my God, I'm going to watch this with my dad!" as they watched saucy 2015 film Fifty Shades of Grey together.

On Wednesday (July 12) Zoe posted a snap on Instagram showing her in a pink jumper flanked by a smiling Johnny and Woody. She wrote: "We got the band back together for @c4gogglebox Fri 9pm @channel4 thanks for having us GOGGLEBOX."

@kinnon67 said: "Your dad is a legend" and @liza_l977 wrote: "Your dad is my childhood. LOVE that man!!!" Meanwhile @bevwatt33 called the trio "Family gang goals".
