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.

Fans are fuming as a replacement host has already been confirmed SHOCK BOOT Reality TV host blindsided as they're AXED from long-running show after ten years – and bosses dumped him over the phone Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A REALITY TV host has been left stunned after being brutally axed from their long-running show. After ten years on screen, bosses gave them the boot with a phone call. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 The TV host has shocked fans with the announcement that he's been axed from Australian Survivor Credit: 9 Network 3 JLP fronted the series for 11 seasons and didn't see the axe coming Credit: 9 Network Telly fans have been left stunned after Australian Survivor host Jonathan LaPaglia revealed he's been booted from the show. The fan favourite – affectionately known as JLP – broke the news on Instagram with a cheeky AI video showing himself being KO'd by a giant boxing glove, joking he'd been 'blindsided' by the brutal decision. JLP, who's fronted the series for 11 seasons, said he never saw the axe coming when he was told by bosses that they were 'going in a different direction' for next year's season. He wrote: "Australian Survivor has seen some of the most epic blindsides over the last 10 years, but this one might just be the craziest of them all… because it happened to me." He told followers that without a hidden immunity idol in his back pocket, 'I have to snuff my own torch and send myself home.' He continued: "I received a call from the Network thanking me for all my hard work and dedication to the show but for next season they are 'going in a different direction.'" But it's not the end of his Survivor journey just yet – JLP confirmed he'll still appear on the Australia v The World edition, filmed late last year and expected to premiere this July. And in a move that's already splitting fans, Daily Mail reports that David Genat, a Survivor legend known as the 'Golden God', is tipped to take over as host. David, who first hit screens on Champions v Contenders II in 2019 and later won All Stars in 2020, has since starred on The Celebrity Apprentice, hosted Rush and just scooped a jaw-dropping £4.5 million prize on Deal or No Deal Island in the US. JLP added: "Ratings had dipped a bit recently and they wanted to do something drastic to shake things up. So for the first time ever this is not a tribe swap, but a HOST SWAP®️ Yes, you read that right." Amazon Prime cancels beloved drama despite show having two-season order and furious fans vow to boycott streamer "I have loved and will dearly miss the immensely talented crew, all the crafty players and our loyal sassy audience. I'm a huge fan of this incredible game, always have been, always will be. "(Ps. Whoever said a blindside is the most humane way to put someone down is an idiot. It hurts like a b****!)" Viewers reckon it just won't be the same without him as his post was instantly flooded with comments from gutted fans and former contestants, branding the brutal axe a 'huge mistake'. Nick Iadanza wrote: 'Actually devastated! You are Australian Survivor and we are all so grateful to have had you leading it for players and fans alike.' The best series on Amazon Prime The best movies on Amazon Prime Jordie Hansen added: 'No way! It's going to be hard to imagine the show without you mate. An actual living legend'. Logan Johannisen penned: "Can confirm blindsides sting. Totally devastated with this news. Thank you for being apart of my survivor journey and your endless ball jokes. Will not be the same without you, JLP." Former winner Kristie Bennett said: 'Talk about brutal! We have all been completely robbed. You made this show with the players from the ground up. Always an icon!' Australian Survivor is available to watch in the UK on Amazon Prime.

The 1% Club knocks out a whopping 32 players on tricky family question – but are you smarter than them?
THE 1% Club wiped out a HUGE thirty-two players on a tricky family question. Show host, comedian Lee Mack, was left gobsmacked when he realised just how many players had been unable to identify the correct answer. 4 4 The ITV quiz show features 100 players each hoping to take home up to £100,000 by correctly navigating their way through each round in order to get to the correct answer. But for thirty-two people, it was the 40% question that put an end to their hopes of winning. Turning to the remaining players, Lee posed a question which was all about identifying which statement had to be false. The star said: "Which of these would it be impossible to do?" He then read aloud the three options. These were - "marry your cousin's cousin", "marry your brother's widow" or " marry your widow's sister". The contestants were then given 30 seconds to attempt to correctly identify the answer but for 32 - it was clearly a struggle. Reacting in shock as time was up, Lee remarked: "Wow! That is massive! "32 people went out on that one. Let's have a look at the answer." Amid gasps from the crowd, Lee told them that the right answer was - "marry your widow's sister". Tricky 1% Club question forces 13 contestants to use their pass to stay in the game - but would you have got it right? This was the correct answer as it would be impossible to marry your own widow's sister as you would already be dead. Cracking out another joke, Lee said: "And before we get any complaints, yes, I accept that is a bit Zombie-ist!" It increased the prize fund up to a huge £90,000 as the quiz entered into the 35% question. Hardest Quiz Show Questions Would you know the answers to some of quizzing TV's hardest questions Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the "worst" question in the show's history. Host Jeremy Clarkson asked: 'From the 2000 awards ceremony onwards, the Best Actress Oscar has never been won by a woman whose surname begins with which one of these letters?' The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000. The 1% Club - Viewers of Lee Mack's popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed. The query went as follows: "Edna's birthday is on the 6th of April and Jen's birthday falls on the 15th of October, therefore Amir's birthday must be the 'X' of January." It turns out the conundrum links the numbers with its position in the sentence, so 6th is the sixth word and 15th is the fifteenth word. Therefore, Amir's birthday is January 24th, corresponding to the 24th word in the sentence. The Chase - The ITV daytime favourite left fans scratching their heads when it threw up one of the most bizarre questions to ever grace the programme. One of the questions asked the player: "Someone with a nightshade intolerance should avoid eating what?" The options were - sweetcorn, potatoes, carrots - with Steve selecting sweetcorn but the correct answer was potatoes. 4 4

Sainsbury's shoppers race to bag £30 dress that will snatch you in at the waist & is £260 cheaper than designer version
SAINSBURY'S has the perfect summer dress that will snatch you at the waist, and it's £260 cheaper than a similar designer frock. With temperatures set to reach a whopping 35C today, Brits across the country will be doing every to cool down. 2 And although purchasing a fan or making your own air conditioner may be your first thought, treating yourself to a weather-appropriate frock can make a huge difference. Sainsbury's Tu is one of the best-loved brands on the high street, and is constantly wowing us with its stylish but affordable fashion. From cute dresses to on-trend work attire, the supermarket fast-fashion range always hits the mark, and its new summer collection is no exception. Sainsbury's Summer Dress One dress in particular that has caught the attention of fashion fans is the White Structured Midaxi Summer Dress. The elegant white gown is perfect for dressing up for girly brunches or city sight-seeing on holiday. The structured bodice and flared hem give the dress a flattering shape, and the dress is made of lightweight cotton, perfect for keeping cool in the heat. Sainsbury's said: "This white dress is an elegant choice for summer outings. Designed with a structured bodice and a flared hem for a flattering shape. "Cut to a midaxi length, it has been made from a lightweight, cotton-rich fabric, perfect for warmer days." The gorgeous frock is available in a wide range of sizes, from size 6 to size 24. However, it has proved so popular with fashion fans that it has already sold out in some sizes. Sainsbury's scraps in-store changing rooms leaving shoppers furious The dress, which can be purchased in store or online, is priced at just £30, making it purse-friendly buy. Shoppers React Raving about the frock on the Tu website, one shopper said: "I bought this dress as a curvy size 20 and told myself that it would not fit …..but it was stunning! "I felt special in it and confident." A second person said: "I never leave reviews, but this dress is beautiful. Is supermarket fashion the new high street? DEPUTY Fashion Editor Abby McHale weighs in: The supermarkets have really upped their game when it comes to their fashion lines. These days, as you head in to do your weekly food shop you can also pick up a selection of purse-friendly, stylish pieces for all the family. Tesco has just announced a 0.7 per cent increase in the quarter thanks to a 'strong growth in clothing' and M&S has earnt the title of the number one destination for womenswear on the high street. Asda's clothing line George has made £1.5 million for the supermarket in 2023, 80 per cent of Sainsbury's clothes sold at full price rather than discounted and Nutmeg at Morrisons sales are also up 2 per cent in the past year. So what is it about supermarket fashion that is becoming so successful? Apart from the clothing actually being affordable, it's good quality too - with many being part of schemes such as the Better Cotton Initiative. A lot of the time they keep to classic pieces that they know will last the customer year after year. Plus because they buy so much stock they can turn around pieces quickly and buy for cheaper because of the volumes. "The cut and style are akin to a premium brand. It's stunning!" A third person said: "Beautiful dress, fully lined and top quality material. "Great fit and cut even for plus-size people like me. Looks way more expensive than it is." Designer Dupe The Sainbury's dress looks strikingly similar to the Everett Linen Dress, which is priced at £298. This makes the Tu dress a whopping £268 cheaper. Both dresses have a similar structured bodice and flared hem, but the premium buy comes in a wider range of colours, including pink and blue.
