Celebrity Gogglebox is back for its eighth season and, so far, we’ve seen quite a few new famous faces on the show<\/a>, as well as some returning characters from previous editions. This week, we can expect to see two more celebrities join the mix, as it has just been announced that two Strictly Come Dancing professionals will feature on the Friday 26 June episode!<\/p>\n In an entertainment segment on Lorraine Kelly’s show yesterday (25 June), reporter Ross King confirmed that Amy Dowden and Carlos Gu will make a surprise appearance on Celebrity Gogglebox. Yay!<\/p>\n “Some news for Strictly fans. A couple of Strictly characters are going to be in something else,” Ross said. “I’m thrilled for this. Our pal Amy Dowden, along with Carlos [Gu], who of course won with Karen [Carney] in the last season.”<\/p>\n “They’re going to be on Gogglebox on Friday,” he went on. “They’re going to be together as a little couple, and weirdly enough, they absolutely love watching TV together.”<\/p>\n Ahead of Amy’s first appearance on Celebrity Gogglebox, here’s everything you need to know about her…<\/p>\n Amy Dowden is 35 years old. She was born on August 10, 1990, which makes her a Leo. <\/p>\n Amy Dowden is a professional dancer<\/a> on the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing. She made her debut on season 15 in 2017 and has so far competed in eight seasons<\/a> of the show.<\/p>\n Beyond being a fan-favourite on Strictly, Amy is also known for her advocacy work for Crohn’s and Colitis UK. According to the charity<\/a>, Amy was diagnosed with Crohn’s<\/a> when she was 19 years old and has gone on to use her celebrity status to help raise awareness about Crohn’s & Colitis UK as well as to advocate for better care for people living with Crohn’s or Colitis. Amy has done so much good when it comes to the charity, in fact, that she was even made an MBE for her services to Crohn\u2019s disease<\/p>\n Amy Dowden is from Caerphilly, a town in the south of Wales. Interestingly, she was the very first professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing to come from Wales.<\/p>\n Amy Dowden has been in a relationship with fellow professional dancer Ben Jones for over a decade. The pair have been together since Amy was in her early 20s, and were even crowned British National Latin Dance champions as a pair. How sweet!
