New Celebrity Gogglebox cast

A brand new series Celebrity Gogglebox kicked off a few weeks ago. Favourites like Happy Mondays stars Bez and Shaun Ryder made their return, as well as funny men Babatunde Aléshé and Mo Gilligan.

And the hit Channel 4 show saw some new faces make an appearance too. The Royle Family icons Sue Johnston and Ricky Tomlinson made their debut. So did Beverly Knight and US Superstar Adam Lambert.

But one notable pair that was missing in the first few episodes were Zoe and son Woody. But that’s all about to change as the two are back on the show for this week’s episode.

Alongside a picture of the pair, the caption read: “Welcome back @ZoeTheBall and Woody! We can’t wait to have them back on our screens this Friday at 9pm, @channel4.”

Fans were over the moon to hear the news, with plenty replying to the tweet. One person gushed: “Love Zoe Ball, absolute legend.” Another added: “Hoorah. You are all Such beautiful souls.” A third chimed and said: “Love these two.”

Zoe and Woody ‘only see each other when they’re working’

It comes after Zoe’s son spoke out about his relationship with his famous mum – revealing it could be “bizarre” at times. She spoke to Woody, who is the son of Zoe and Norman Cook AKA Fatboy Slim, live on-air on BBC Radio 2 back in June.

When asked how his weekend was, Woody replied: “Good, stressful, long,” before he continued: “It’s bizarre that… I always say it but we only see each other when we’re working.”

Zoe replied: “We do, and when we do Gogglebox!” Her son then added: “It started as a joke but now it’s almost like a curse.” She concluded: It’s lovely to see you son.”
