Two iconic Strictly Come Dancing judges are set to appear on Celebrity Gogglebox.
Craig Revel Horwood and Anton du Beke will grace UK screens as they have teamed up for the popular Channel 4 reality show, with the pair's first episode set to air tomorrow night/
The star-studded spin-off from the original programme, which launched in 2013, sees the cast of UK notables react to the week's biggest telly moments from their sofas.
The pair have worked together for BBC1 for more than two decades, having joined the dancing show at its launch in 2004, and worked alongside each other during the dance circuit before that.
They'll make their debut on Celebrity Gogglebox on Friday at 9pm, alongside recent newcomer Vernon Kay, who is married to fellow Strictly lifer Tess Daly.
Anton gushed: 'I'm super excited to be swapping the judges chair for a comfy sofa! Sitting down with my dear friend and fellow Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood to enjoy a bit of telly on this new series of Gogglebox.'

The pair are the latest to take to their sofa for Celebrity Gogglebox, which first launched back in 2019.
For the latest series, darts legend Luke Littler has also joined the programme, along with his friend, the YouTuber known as Angry Ginge.
Meanwhile, beloved celebrity pairings returning for the current series include radio presenter Nick Grimshaw and his niece Liv, as well as the Happy Mondays' Shaun Ryder and Bez.
It comes after returning cast member, presenter Rylan Clark, revealed editors of Celebrity Gogglebox had to cut some 'career-ending' conversations from his appearances on the show with his mum, Linda.
The star, aged 36, first rose to fame during his 2012 participation on The X Factor.
He has since continued to fly while hosting shows including Big Brother's Bit on the Side, Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two, This Morning and more recently, Rob and Rylan's Grand Tour, with Judge Robert Rinder.
Fans of Celebrity Gogglebox have enjoyed seeing a more unfiltered side of Rylan on the programme, including plenty of wise cracks at his mum's expense.
The pair quickly became a fan favourite due to their zingy banter and no-holds-barred commentary.

But appearing on This Morning last week, the pair admitted there are plenty of sofa conversations that do not make it to air.
Conversations between them can push the boundaries the mother-son duo often have to implore editors to make cuts.
'When he mucks about', Linda explained: 'I go, 'Please don't put that bit in!''
'We're lucky the editors clearly like us', Rylan added: 'Because the stuff they've had to cut out is career-ending… We're like, 'Yeah, can we not use that please?!''
Rylan, and Linda, 72, have featured on the celebrity edition of the Channel 4 hit since it started back in 2019.
Many fans have come to adore them, calling for them to have their own spin-off show.
Celebrity Gogglebox is available to watch and stream on Channel 4.

TV tonight: Noel Edmonds shows off his unusual new life in New Zealand
9pm, ITV1Noel Edmonds is an unusual man. On the face of it, this series simply documents his attempts to open a bar-restaurant in New Zealand with his wife, Liz. But the fun is in the journey not the arrival. Edmonds is obsessed with new-age woo, spending time on his 'crystal bed' and practising a workout regime he calls 'tranquil power'. He's also startlingly excited about his nail gun, calling it 'a sex toy', and regards Liz as 'an earth angel' believing she was 'a gift from the cosmos'. An eccentric cult classic in the making. Phil Harrison From 7pm, Sky ArtsWith Glastonbury a week away, warm up with a trip to Seaclose Park, home of the Isle of Wight festival. The Lottery Winners kick off the TV coverage followed by the Corrs. Other highlights include Justin Timberlake, Jess Glynne, Sting, Stereophonics and more. PH 8.30pm, BBC One'You all right bab?!' This series has accelerated Hammond's unstoppable trajectory towards national treasure status. It ends in a weekend with former boxer Tony Bellew. Hammond bonds with his wife, Rachael, almost instantly but Tony is a cagier sort. He's powerless to resist the Hammond charm offensive in the end, though.

As Martin (Conleth Hill) pleads for calm and Diane (Rosie Cavaliero) tries to get through a sexually charged salsa-dancing date without arousing suspicion, Kath (co-creator Sian Gibson) goes and does the worst possible thing: engages with the police.

Hannah J Davies Joker: Folie à Deux (Todd Phillips, 2024), 12.05pm, 8pm, Sky Cinema PremiereThe box office success of his supervillain origin story, Joker, was probably a surprise to its creator Todd Phillips. So a sequel is clearly a free hit for him, which explains why he's gone Broadway or bust with a full-blown musical. It helps that Lady Gaga is on board, carrying the vocal weight as Lee Quinzel, who falls for Joaquin Phoenix's Arthur Fleck while both are incarcerated in Arkham State Hospital. Their amour fou is realised in a series of fantastical numbers that are very entertaining, though the mental illness storyline is less effective. Simon Wardell The Entity (Sidney J Furie, 1982), 12.45am, Film4At first glance, Sidney J Furie's 1982 film is just an exploitation flick riding on the coattails of The Exorcist and The Amityville Horror. But between the lines of the woman-in-peril plot, in which Barbara Hershey's single mother Carla is sexually assaulted by an unseen supernatural assailant, is a story of controlling men. From Ron Silver's dismissive therapist to the university parapsychologists giddy over a big new case study – and even the invisible creature itself – attempts to force Carla into a corner founder as she fashions her own responses to her trauma.
