Celebrity Gogglebox star SLAMS show and reveals x-rated behind the scenes secret
CELEBRITY Gogglebox star Maureen Lipman has slammed the show and revealed an x-rated behind the scenes secret.
The actress, 77, has appeared in a number of TV programmes and films since shooting to fame in the 60s.
Some of those include Corrie, Doctor Who and Midsomer Murders.
The star joined Channel 4’s Gogglebox back in 2020 alongside Gyles Brandreth, 75.
And the pair were regulars on the celebrity version of the programme until 2021.
Opening up about her time on the show, Maureen loved filming with This Morning’s Gyles, but wasn’t a fan of the things she had to watch.
Maureen told The Oldie: “Gyles and I got on really well and I love going to his house every Saturday, but I didn’t like the show.
“They just kept showing us willies, basically, to see our reaction.”
It comes days after Maureen took a brutal swipe at Coronation Street.
The soap legend has played Evelyn Plummer on the Cobbles since 2018.
She said: “We’ve come to a point in Corrie now where people are getting murdered in knicker factories.
“We’re having domestic abuse. Anything that ticks the box of social problems in the 21st century is going to be in your local soap.”
Speaking on the Beyond The Title podcast, she continued: “Whereas back then you had the freedom to put Martha [Longhurst], Minnie [Caldwell] and Ena [Sharples] in the snug and have a conversation about Ben-Hur.
“It’s never been political but I always like it when the women sit down and go, ‘Ooh, Donald Trump, ain’t his hair shocking.'”
She added: “All those wonderful expressions that your parents come out with, like my mother saying, ‘Ooh, doesn’t a black skirt cover a multitude of sins.’
“People talk like that, and we recognise it as true.”
