When you signed up for Celebrity Gogglebox, did you think you’d still be involved three series on?

When we first got asked to do it, what, three years ago now, I was aware that it’s normally just a celebrity special. At the beginning, it was like they hired the same bunch of celebs for three episodes, saw how it went, and then if they liked you, they kept you on – almost like an audition process. After the first season, I said to my dad, ‘They don’t ask people back’, and then I think myself, Grimmy [Nick Grimshaw] and Rylan [Clark-Neal] all of a sudden got asked back and it just became a thing.
