Brian said: “People used to contact me on Instagram and say ‘OMG if they ever do a Celebrity Gogglebox you and Arthur should do it’.”
“It’s so funny and when it came through, I was like Arthur oh my god… You are never going to believe it, because we watch the show and I just can’t believe it, it’s such an institution and it has been running for years and the show just gets better, we watch telly all the time and we talk a lot while we watch, just to sit down and be part of such a franchise like this we are so obsessed with the fact they asked us, and we were like straight away yes! When do you need us to start?”
Meanwhile, Arthur said: “Seriously where to start? Being part of Gogglebox for this special is just beyond exciting for me. I will never ever forget watching the first season of The Show it was unforgettable. I mean especially doing with my husband it’s going to be so much fun. I can’t wait. Let’s do this!”
