Foxtel has announced the final two households to feature on the first season of Celebrity Gogglebox Australia.
Joining the star-studded lineup is Australian of the Year Dylan Alcott AO with friend and MasterChef Australia judge Andy Allen, as well as Anthony Callea and husband Tim Campbell.
They will join the stellar lineup of celebrities for the highly anticipated premiere special episode of Celebrity Gogglebox Australia airing on Foxtel on Wednesday, March 2 at 7.30pm.
Anthony Callea and Tim Campbell said: “You would think after more than two years sitting on the lounge together watching copious amounts of TV and keeping Dan Murphy’s in business, we would not want to be around each other anytime soon? But here we are, back on the lounge together, martini in hand and ready to kill each other, well we mean, we look forward to waxing lyrical about everything on TV, again! Let’s just hope we don’t end up in divorce on national TV.”
The two duos join an all-star line-up including The Irwin Family- Bindi, Terri and Robert, Hamish Blake & Zoë Foster Blake, Dave Hughes & wife Holly Ife, Julia Morris & Nazeem Hussain, Celia Pacquola & Luke McGregor, Matt Preston & Lachy Hulme, Alex Perry, Joh Bailey & Cheyenne Tozzi.
