Celebrity Gogglebox has gained two new stars ahead of the new series as Eurovision star Sam Ryder and BBC Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills have joined the lineup.

Sam Ryder has been in high demand ever since he came in second place as the UK representative at Eurovision 2022 with his hit song, "SPACE MAN" last month. 

Now, it's been reported by Metro that he'll be joining the Celebrity Gogglebox lineup, where he'll be sharing the sofa with DJ and Eurovision commentator, Scott Mills.

This news comes shortly after Sam professed his love for the main Channel 4 show. When he appeared on Zoe Ball's Radio 2 show, Sam said: "We're having a very normal lovely curry as soon as I get home while watching the telly. I just want to watch Gogglebox and it's going to be weird cause we'll be on it."

Sam and Scott are the latest celebrity duo to have joined the lineup, following in the footsteps of former Strictly Come Dancing winners Bill Bailey and Oti Mabuse. 

In other Celebrity Gogglebox news, Denise Van Outen will be returning to the show alongside her best friend, Blue singer Duncan James after splitting from her partner, Eddie Boxshall.

Sam and Scott, Bill and Oti and Denise and Duncan have joined a very exciting celebrity lineup. Also returning are: Nick Grimshaw and his niece, Liv, Rylan Clark and his mum Linda, Martin and Roman Kemp and Mo Gilligan and Babatunde Aleshe.
