Celebrity Gogglebox couple ‘axed’ as star admits ‘not sure we were the best fit’

Katherine Ryan has confirmed that she hasn’t been asked to return to the new series of Celebrity Gogglebox.

The 40-year-old comedian joined the hit Channel 4 programme with her partner, Bobby Koostra, in June 2023. The pair starred alongside celeb pairing Denise Van Outen and Duncan James in the fifth series.

Although Katherine said Bobby “came out of his shell” during filming, the star has now confessed that it may not have been enough to sustain their place on the show. In a recent interview, Katherine revealed they haven’t been invited back for the next series.

Talking to The Sun, she explained: “I’m not sure that we were the best fit for Celebrity Gogglebox only because we were new and there are so many other families and couples on there, that I don’t think we were on it very much. I loved being on it and I would love to be of more use on it.”

She also mentioned they “haven’t been asked back so far” and confessed she is “not right for everything.” But despite this, Katherine holds no grudges.

Speaking openly said added: “I loved the opportunity because it’s a show that we watch… You know, I’m not going to lie and pretend I didn’t notice that I’m on it for like five seconds.”

Reflecting on her time on the show, the mother of three said she may not have been “as funny as Ronan and Martin Kemp, I’m maybe not as funny as Rylan and his mum”. However, she was still happy to get involved in the Channel 4 show.

Away from the telly, Katherine has let slip that she and hubby Bobby don’t kip in the same bed anymore because they both bunk with their little ones. Katherine’s opened up about being chuffed with Bobby but isn’t sure if it’ll last forever.

Katherine, who has been married to her husband for five years, doesn’t yet think they’ve reached a major milestone in their marriage. She still wants to see if they could last “20” years or more. It has not yet been confirmed when the new series of Celebrity Gogglebox will return to screens. Despite this, the no celeb version is currently airing a new series on Channel 4 on Friday nights at 9pm.
