Celebrity Gogglebox<\/a> star Denise Van Outen has spoken candidly about her experience working alongside co-star Johnny Vaughan.<\/p>\n

The presenter and actress first appeared on the Channel 4 programme in 2019, alongside her then-partner Eddie Boxshall. Following their separation, she was joined on the sofa by her close friend and singer Duncan James.<\/p>\n

More recently, Denise’s former Big Breakfast co-host Johnny Vaughan has taken up a spot beside her – with the duo now familiar faces on the show, sharing their opinions on the latest television offerings.<\/p>\n

Speaking on behalf of Sky Vegas, Denise opened up about what she struggles to watch on the TV, revealing: “I find it very hard to watch when reality shows become uncomfortable like that [referring to the Adam Thomas and Jimmy Bullard incident on I’m A Celebrity South Africa].<\/p>\n

“I think a lot of people love it because everybody likes to eavesdrop on people’s dramas, and I know that more than anybody because I’ve worked on TOWIE for 16 years.”<\/p>\n

The mum-of-one observed: “But I felt that, at times, it was uncomfortable. What I don’t like seeing is people upset, because it upsets me. I try not to get too involved in it.<\/p>\n

“It was very controversial, and I suppose the good thing about it is that it gets people talking about what is and isn’t acceptable in terms of behaviour and boundaries. But personally, for me, I found it a very uncomfortable watch.”<\/p>\n

Denise also revealed that despite their differing tastes in television, she and Johnny “never argue” over what to watch.<\/p>\n

“We have our favourite things that we like to watch, but we never argue about them because we share the remote control,” Denise said. She added: “I’m not a big fan of horror films because I get quite scared, and Johnny likes watching me get scared.”<\/p>\n

Offering a glimpse into their friendship, Denise continued: “It makes him laugh because I tend to scream quite a lot. When we watch horror movies, I’m clinging on to him and trying to hide my eyes.”<\/p>\n

When it comes to whether any further reality programmes are on the horizon for Denise, she revealed she’s eager to take part in Celebrity Bake Off. She said: “I’ve never really baked and I like cooking. I think that would be a fun one.”<\/p>\n

Denise continued: “I like doing reality shows where you learn something. I think it’s good to learn a skill. I also did The Great Pottery Throw Down, which is airing this year, and I loved learning how to make things and work with ceramics. Anything where I can learn a new skill is fun.”<\/p>\n

Celebrity Gogglebox airs every Friday at 9pm on Channel 4.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
