Boris Johnson’s father Stanley has signed up for TV show Celebrity Gogglebox.
The spin-off starts on Channel 4 on Friday, with girl band Little Mix and presenter Rylan Clark-Neal taking part.
Now Johnson, the father of aspiring prime minister Boris, has joined the series, to critique TV shows from the sofa.
Georgia “Toff” Toffolo will be with Johnson, after they previously bonded in the jungle on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
Kelly Osbourne will also be on the show, with her childhood friend Sammy Barratt-Singh.
Other stars announced include All Saints singers Nicole Appleton and Melanie Blatt, and actress Emily Atack and her mother.

There have been previous celebrity specials, with the likes of Ed Sheeran, Liam Gallagher, Jamie Dornan and Danny and Dani Dyer taking part.
– Celebrity Gogglebox begins on Channel 4 on Friday at 9pm.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
