Tom Grennan has said he is ‘buzzing’ to join Celebrity Gogglebox along with his father Martin.
The Lionheart singer, 28, and his dad will give it a whirl at being a couch critic, following in the footsteps of other celebrities including Charlotte Church and Luke Evans.
The popstar will also be in good company for this year’s edition of the Channel 4 juggernaut, with the likes of Katherine Ryan and her partner Bobby Kootstra confirmed to star.

He said: ‘So excited for Gogglebox, especially filming with my Dad. I’ve said to him be ready to become a national treasure.
‘We’ve always been fans of the show and are both buzzing to be part of it.’
