Gogglebox was first conceived in the UK on Channel 4 in 2013. The hit reality TV show sees groups of people - usually couples, friends or families - gather on the couch in their own homes, giving their reactions to television programmes of the week. A spin-off featuring celebrity participants first aired in 2019 and the Irish version first hit screens in 2016.

Celebrity Gogglebox Ireland airs Wednesday 20 September at 9pm on Virgin Media One and Virgin Media Player.
