Gyles Brandreth 's new sofa companion for Celebrity Gogglebox is Absolutely Fabulous, though he has said she nodded off the last time that they watched TV together.
It's been announced that the writer and former politician, 74, will be joined by actor Dame Joanna Lumley, 76, for the next series of the show - which returns next month.
Speaking about getting the opportunity to appear on the popular Channel 4 series, she commented recently: "It is a huge honour and crosses something off my long bucket list."
