CELEBRITY GOGGLEBOX

FRIDAY, 9PM, C4 ENTERTAINMENT

Craig Revel Horwood relishes giving scathing critiques on Strictly Come Dancing. Now, as part of C4’s season of programming to mark 50 years since the first Pride march in the K, the razor-tongued judge is swapping the ballroom for the living room to air his views on the week’s telly for a special edition of Celebrity Gogglebox.

The one-o will see Craig join other LGBTQ+ personalities, plus series regulars – including Rylan Clark and his mum Linda, West End favourites Denise Van Outen and Duncan James, and Eurovision stars Sam Ryder and Scott Mills – to give their take on everything from documentaries to dramas.

Here, Craig, 57, who’ll be sharing the sofa with his good friend, musician Ben Goddard, tells TV Times why he couldn’t wait to take part…

Have you always loved Gogglebox?

I’m a huge fan! When it first came out [in 2013], I wondered why anyone would be interested in watching people watching TV. I thought it was ridiculous… and then I was hooked!

Because this is a special to mark Pride, I wanted to do the show with one of my straight mates. Everyone knows I’m very opinionated and I thought it’d be really cool to bounce o Ben, a heterosexual man, and ask for his take on certain things.

What genre of shows do you like watching? And which get you reaching for the remote?

I enjoy watching crime investigation-type things. And I thought [BBC thriller] Killing Eve was brilliant because it’s so theatrical and I love those sorts of shows.
