Gogglebox's Duncan James 'exciting' update as he replaces Denise Van Outen's ex

Duncan James has issued an exciting update as he prepares to make his Gogglebox debut.

The Blue singer appeared on today's edition of Good Morning Britain alongside Simon Webbe. They were interviewed by Adil Ray and Charlotte Hawkins about the band's reunion tour, which starts in September.

However, Charlotte also probed Duncan on his other TV projects as he is set to join Denise Van Outen on the upcoming season of Celebrity Gogglebox. Denise used to appear on the sofa alongside her ex-fiance, Eddie Boxshall, but she announced the couple had split earlier this year.

She said: "Over the past couple of months, there has been much speculation regarding my relationship with Eddie. It saddens me to confirm that we are no longer a couple. I had to make the difficult decision not to continue in our relationship.

"I will always treasure the good times we spent together, and the memories made. We ask that you please respect our privacy at this time, especially for our children."

Denise and Duncan have been friends for over a decade and she announced he would be Eddie's replacement on the show. Duncan revealed the exciting news the two will be filming next week ahead of the season premiere on June 10.

He told Good Morning Britain: "Yeah me and Denise are doing Gogglebox together. We actually start filming it next week so it's really exciting."
