Gogglebox viewers are in for a treat as the Celebrity edition of the series returns later this month - with a comedy star "thrilled" to be making their debut on the show.
Katherine Ryan is the latest big name confirmed to be among the famous faces taking to their sofas for the new episodes. The comedian and presenter, who has starred in the likes of Taskmaster, The Masked Singer and her own Netflix show The Duchess, will be joined by her husband Bobby Koostra as the pair give their take on the week's telly in the upcoming series.
Katherine told The Sun: "It's usually just the dogs who get to see us watch TV, so we're excited to welcome viewers into our home as we decompress in our favourite spot – the sofa. We've been huge Gogglebox fans for years and we are thrilled to be taking part."

Channel 4 has confirmed when Celebrity Gogglebox will be back on our screens, and fans don't have to wait long - the show is scheduled to return for its fifth series on Friday, June 16. The Sun reports that Katherine and Bobby will be joined by some returning pairs in the upcoming new series, including Denise Van Outen and Duncan James, and Happy Mondays stars Shaun Ryder and Bez. Zoe Ball is also slated to join the line-up once again alongside her dad Johnny Ball and son Woody Cook.
The last full series of Celebrity Gogglebox aired in July last year, with a string of famous faces also appearing in the Stand Up To Cancer Special back in October. Among the pairs taking part in the charity special were Olympian Tom Daley with husband Dustin Lance Black, chef Gordon Ramsay with daughter Tilly Ramsay, and singer Charlotte Church alongside actor Luke Evans.
The new star-studded episodes will come at just the right time for Gogglebox fans, with the 21st series of the regular show having come to an end on Friday, June 2. Viewers will be treated to one more episode - a 'Best Of Series 21' compilation - set to air this Friday, June 9, before the celebrity edition kicks off the following week.
