Speaking about taking part, Cody said, "I'm super excited to be taking part, Gogglebox is one of me and my granddad’s favourite shows (this will be his favourite episode yet!) so it’s a full circle moment."
Former The Saturdays member Healy added, "I’m very excited to take part as I’m big fan, and I’m always like Gogglebox myself at home…I used to get told off for chatting over things commentating when used to watch TV when I was younger!"
Former Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona and Irish comedian Alison Spittle will also pair up for the special programme.
Comedians Tony Cantwell, Emma Doran and Shane Daniel Byrne have also been announced as telly watchers on the show.
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 tonight at 9pm on Virgin Media One and Virgin Media Player.
