"This is great news," one happy user commented while another posted: "Oh wow, look forward to seeing you, after the absence of the vlogs."

"Literally, the best news!" an excited user added while one commented: "Best news I've had today, you will be brilliant." The actor and Clair, who met on X (), have been married for 13 years and share two children together.

Clair previously opened up about watching The Inbetweeners when she first met James in 2010. "I knew of the show and what it was but I didn’t tune in. I didn’t watch it, which might have been a good thing,” she said to The Sun at the time.

“I did watch a couple of episodes after we met but to this day I don’t think I’ve seen every single episode. James and Jay are nothing alike thank God.”

Meanwhile, Rylan Clark also confirmed he will be making a return to the series. He will be joined by his mum Linda, with the presenter confirming the news on social media.

"We are back on Gogglebox. Make sure you watch us on Friday, watching TV with you!" he said. Rylan previously admitted he feared saying the wrong thing on camera.

Speaking to the Daily Star, he said: “My mum forgets the cameras are there. Within five minutes of us starting, she’s gone. And that’s when I worry.

“She is very much herself. But there’s being yourself and then there’s taking it so far that you could ruin your son’s career!

“I can’t repeat the things she says. I’m always like, ‘You can’t say that, mum’. The s*** she comes out with… if they were aired, I wouldn’t have a career. I’m going to have to buy a gag off the internet.”

*Celebrity Gogglebox returns Friday 6th June at 9pm on Channel 4
