Celebrity Gogglebox viewers were left baffled tonight as they failed to recognise some of the stars featuring on the show’s Pride special.
The hit Channel 4 reality series welcomed a host of new famous faces on Friday evening (July 1), including the cast of Netflix’s LGBTQ+ show Heartstopper.
Actors Kit Connor, Joe Locke, Yasmin Finney and William Gao joined the show to mark Pride month – a month dedicated to celebrating LGBTQ+ communities.

In addition, Ian ‘H’ Watkins, Claire Richards and Faye Tozer from Steps also appeared on tonight’s show.

Joining them were Gogglebox favourites Rylan Clark and his mum Linda, Nick Grimshaw and his niece Liv, Clare Balding and her wife Alice Arnold, and Denise Van Outen with Blue star Duncan James.
But as the special episode kicked off this evening, a number of viewers failed to recognise some of the new faces.
Taking to Twitter, one fan said: “I’m not sure if I’m more confused that this is called Celebrity Googlebox or more confused in the fact I hardly recognise anyone on it.”
A second added: “I can’t keep up with all these different people on #Gogglebox.”

A third tweeted: “Who are Tia & Lawrence and can someone tell him it’s SHOVE yer granny off a bus no push! #Gogglebox.”
Another complained: “Where the hell have you got these Z list celebrities from? So few regulars left #Gogglebox.”
A fifth added: “7 mins in to Celeb Gogglebox and have not got a clue who half of them are #oldman.”
A sixth shared: “Could you give me a moment to work out who some of these celebs are?”

“No idea who half of them are but it’s gay and I’m here for it, happy pride season,” another Gogglebox fan said.
However, others appeared thrilled over tonight’s episode.
One fan shared: “Don’t usually watch #Gogglebox but quite enjoying actually.”
Another posted: “I usually prefer the non-celeb version of #Gogglebox – but I’m making an exception because the Heartstopper cast are pretty damn adorable.”
Celebrity Gogglebox airs on Channel 4 on Fridays at 9pm.
