Gogglebox could be about to lose two favourites, and Celebrity Big Brother could be about to gain two hilarious housemates.

The Channel 4 show’s stars Stephen and Chris are apparently being eyed up by CBB bosses for the new series, and they’re allegedly preparing to give them a tidy sum to get them to switch channels.

They’ve reportedly on for a ‘big money deal’ of possibly half a million! That’s a pricey housemate.

As always, CBB bosses are after people who’ll stir things up, and they reckon frank talking Stephen and Chris are just the ticket for that. Although can they be as frank when they’re the ones being watched rather than doing the watching?




An insider told The Sun: ‘The show’s producers are really keen to get them on and would be happy to pay up to £500,000 to see it happen.

‘Everyone’s really excited at the prospect because they are so dynamic and they already know they make great TV.

‘They’re fan favourites and their dry humour is bound to be hilarious in the house.’

Yes they’ll most likely be hilarious, but it’s serious question time – will they be bringing Max the sausage dog and Stephen’s poodles?

Fellow Goggleboxer George Gilbey took part in Celebrity Big Brother in 2014 and walked away with 4th place. He quit Gogglebox to take part in the show, but later returned, which gives us hope that Stephen and Chris won’t give up their sofa entirely!

Reps for both shows have been contacted by Metro.co.uk for comment.
