Sam Ryder joins Celebrity Gogglebox cast after Eurovision success and Jubilee starring role

Sam Ryder has landed a huge primetime TV role on the new series of up Celebrity Gogglebox.

It's been a month since the TikTok icon shocked everyone, not least himself, by finishing second on the leaderboard at the Eurovision Song Contest, after a string of dire results for the UK at the annual event. Heading into the final, Sam had soared up the bookies' odds but fans were still sceptical as to whether the rest of Europe would reward his song Spaceman with the points it deserved.

The juries did, with Sam also finishing in the top 5 of the game changing tele-vote, putting him behind only winners Ukraine, who were always expected to triumph. Since then, Sam has seen Spaceman reach number 2 in the charts and then came a real pinch yourself moment for the singer when he was invited to perform at the Platinum Party at the Palace concert for the Queen's Jubilee.
