Katherine Ryan and Partner Left Wondering if They Fit Celebrity Gogglebox
Short-Lived Celeb Gogglebox Stint
Comedian Katherine Ryan and her partner Bobby Kootstra made a splash on Celebrity Gogglebox – but it seems the duo weren’t quite the perfect fit. Ryan has revealed they haven’t been invited back for more episodes “so far,” leaving the pair’s future on the show up in the air.
What’s Celebrity Gogglebox?
The Channel 4 programme puts a celeb spin on the classic Gogglebox format, with stars watching and reacting to the week’s TV from home. Past participants include big names like Sir Tom Jones, Roman Kemp, and Mel C. But despite Ryan and Kootstra’s appearance, they haven’t scored a return slot yet.
Katherine Speaks Out
Ryan gushed about teaming up with Bobby, saying, “I loved working with Bobby. I like people getting to know Bobby a little bit more – he comes out of his shell. He’s really, really funny.” But she admitted, “I’m not sure that we were the best fit for Celebrity Gogglebox because we were new, and there are so many other families and couples on there. I don’t think we were on it very much.”
She also acknowledged their brief screen time: “I’m not going to lie and pretend I didn’t notice that I’m on it for like five seconds. It’s alright, it’s ok to participate and be on something for five seconds.”
Katherine candidly compared her humour to previous guests like Roman and Martin Kemp or Rylan Clark and his mum Linda, suggesting she might not have brought the same zing. Still, she called it an “honour to participate.”
What Next for Ryan and Kootstra?
We’ve reached out to Channel 4 for comment but so far no word on if Katherine and Bobby will be back. Their honest reflections give fans a peek behind the curtain of this popular TV format and leave us wondering – could they return for more laughs?
