The pair are still close friends, and Johannes has also said that he will be attending John’s upcoming nuptials – but won’t be helping with any first dance choreography! He said: “When is the wedding? [laughs] I definitely would be there when it happens, but as a guest. Sit down, enjoy the wedding, not have to worry about anything, but obviously, their dance will be absolutely gorgeous.”
Sharing a snap of himself with John ahead of their Channel 4 series debut, he tweeted: “We had a good time. X @C4Gogglebox this Friday @ 9pm on @Channel4.”

The series will also star the likes of Carol Vorderman and Gyles Brandreth, as well as Lorraine Kelly. Chatting in her HELLO! column about filming the show, Lorraine said: “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.”
