There are many ways to watch television. One way is to watch celebrities watch television, and Celebrity Gogglebox provides exactly that, returning for its seventh season’s third episode Tuesday, June 24, at 11:05 PM on Channel 4. It’s the usual setup: famous faces on their sofas, reacting to the week’s broadcast menu with varying degrees of insight, amusement, and exasperation.
This episode features a good number of well-known personalities. Expect to see the reactions of Vicky Pattison and Pete Wicks, Clare Balding and Alice Arnold, and the pairing of Denise van Outen and Johnny Vaughan. Also joining the commentary ranks are Jordan Banjo and Perri Kiely, Paralympian Ellie Simmonds with Richie Anderson, and the fashion and radio duo Gok Wan and Fearne Cotton.
The lineup of shows they’ll be reacting to is as varied as the cast itself. From the enduring drama of Coronation Street and the sun-drenched antics of Love Island to the brainy wordplay of Countdown and the farm-based adventures of Clarkson’s Farm, there is plenty for them to comment on. Throw in Gary Barlow’s Food and Wine Tour: Australia, Our Yorkshire Shop: A Victorian Restoration, and Tom Kerridge Secrets of the Pub Kitchen, and you have a rather full plate of TV for their reactions.
It’s a straightforward premise that continues to work, offering a relatable viewing experience as well as some honest takes on the programs.
Celebrity Gogglebox airs Tuesday, June 24, at 11:05 PM on Channel 4.
