Lorraine Kelly reveals what filming Gogglebox is really like
Fans may be used to seeing Lorraine Kelly on her morning TV show, but this week the presenter and her daughter Rosie are starring on Gogglebox. Find out how the pair got along filming for the show in Lorraine's exclusive HELLO! diary...
I'm a massive fan of Gogglebox and was really chuffed to be asked back again this year to appear on the celebrity version with my daughter Rosie.

It's such good fun and you really do forget you are making a TV show, because it is all about sitting on your own sofa in your "comfies" with some popcorn and a cheeky glass of rose wine. There are a couple of remote cameras, but you don't even notice them after five minutes.

All the programme makers are in their technical truck so you forget they are recording everything.

Lorraine Kelly and daughter Rosie are on Gogglebox this week
The real star in our house is Rosie's mini wire-haired sausage dog Ruby. She's a complete natural and loves all the attention.
Last year when she appeared with us, Ruby was just a tiny little puppy and slept through everything.

She's a bit bigger now, but still likes to power nap when we are watching tele, but always perks up if Sir David Attenborough is on, and she's very partial to the opening titles of Game Of Thrones.
My dog Angus, on the other hand, is a wee bit shy and very happy to sit under the TV set watching us watching all sorts of weird and wonderful programmes.

The joy of taking part in Gogglebox isn't just the terrific production team and crew, but it's also a chance to see shows that you might have missed out on. There's one in particular that came as a total shock. I couldn't believe my eyes, and Rosie and I were belly laughing so much it was actually painful.
We are in such good company on this series with the likes of Joanne Lumley, Giles Brandeth, Gok Wan, Fearne Cotton, Judi Love, Charlene White, and Rylan and his mum Linda as well as Roman Kemp and his mum and dad Martin and Shirley. It was a total joy.
You can see Celebrity Gogglebox on Channel 4 on Friday at 9pm.
