Gogglebox and its celebrity spin-off rarely touch on the soaps, despite them being some of the most-watched shows on British TV.

When they do react to the stable of long-running and beloved dramas, it's always a treat, and tonight's (June 26) episode was no different.

Celebs including Babatúndé Aléshé and Mo Gilligan, Rylan Clark-Neal and his mum, Bez and Shaun Ryder, Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash, Iain Stirling and Laura Whitmore, Coronation Street's Maureen Lipman and even former 'Enders star Martin Kemp sat down to watch the classic episode where Angie Watts lied to Dirty Den about being terminally ill.

Some of the celebs who knew what was coming teased the others about what Angie's 'secret' was, while Bez and Shaun joked about Angie actress Anita Dobson marrying fellow perm enthusiast Brian May.

But the best moment was where the celebrities gave us a rendition of the timeless theme tune.
