Rag'n'Bone Man joins Celebrity Gogglebox
Rag'n'Bone Man has joined the cast of Celebrity Gogglebox. The 40-year-old musician is set to star alongside Romesh Ranganathan on the Channel 4 show this summer. In a promotional video ahead of their Gogglebox debuts, Romesh said: "Hello, I'm Romesh and this is Rory. "We are gonna be on Celebrity Gogglebox, aren't we?" Rag'n'Bone Man - whose real name is Rory Graham - then said: "Yes we are, this Friday at 9pm." Rag'n'Bone Man has already enjoyed huge success as a musician, after being named the British Breakthrough Act at the Brit Awards back in 2017. However, his upcoming appearance on Celebrity Gogglebox will mark his first foray into the world of reality TV. The Human hitmaker previously admitted that he's struggled to cope with the pressures of fame. He told BBC 5 Live: "I'm quite a private person. I have a small group of friends and I don't like massive crowds. "I couldn't describe something that I felt more uncomfortable with than being on a red carpet and having people shouting at you and taking pictures of you. And then having to go to an after-party where you're paraded around as the new thing. "I remember closing my eyes at one point and wishing that one of my mates would come and rescue me. It just doesn't suit me." Earlier this month, meanwhile, Jamie Laing and Munya Chawawa were confirmed as part of the Celebrity Gogglebox line-up. Jamie admitted at the time that he was looking forward to being part of the hit TV show. The 36-year-old star - who first found fame on Made in Chelsea - said: "I usually watch Googlebox with Sophie, my wife, so Munya is taking her place this week! "I love Gogglebox, so it's been a brilliant experience to be a part of. When Munya came onto my podcast last year, we had a brilliant chat, and now we're watching TV together - what could be better?" Prior to that, Paddy McGuinness and Vernon Kay, Vicky Pattison and Pete Wicks, and Jennifer Saunders and Beattie Edmondson were announced as being part of the Celebrity Gogglebox line-up.

Chart-topping pop star joins Celebrity Gogglebox in first ever reality TV gig joined by beloved comedian - and the pair hit screens tomorrow
A chart-topping pop star has joined Celebrity Gogglebox for their first ever reality TV gig, joined by a beloved comedian - with the pair hitting screens tomorrow. Singer Rag'n'Bone Man is teaming up with comedian Romesh Ranganathan on 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. And the singer, 40, whose real name is Rory Graham, and the TV host, 47, are the latest to join their number. Four-time platinum-certified artist Rag'n'Bone Man, who has won three Brit Awards, is best known for his first hit single Human and his debut album named after it. Romesh, meanwhile, can be seen fronting The Weakest Link, presenting on BBC Radio 2 and in his long-time comedy partnership with fellow funny man Rob Beckett. He made a light-hearted video with Rag'n'Bone Man to announce their upcoming appearance on Celebrity Gogglebox, the latest series of which began earlier this month. A deadpan Romesh addressed the camera: 'Hello, I'm Romesh and this is Rory. 'We are gonna be on Celebrity Gogglebox, aren't we?' Rag'n'Bone Man replied, ahead of his reality TV debut: 'Yes, we are, this Friday at 9pm.' 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.
