Nicole first got together with Oasis frontman Liam in 2000 – three years after dating his pop rival Robbie Williams. They welcomed Gene in 2001 and were married for six years from 2008 until 2014.
The star-studded series is full of new faces including Royle Family legends Sue Johnston and Ricky Tomlinson, singers Adam Lambert and Beverley Knight, TV star Davina McCall and celebrity hairstylist partner Michael Douglas, comedian Katherine Ryan and her husband Bobby.
Naturalist and TV presenter Chris Packham will appear with stepdaughter Megan, unlikely duo Greg James and Gregg Wallace have teamed up, while singer-songwriter Tom Grennan and dad Martin, Jane McDonald and her best friend Sue, models and Munroe Bergdorf and Leomie Anderson, pop group N-Dubz, and actor Stephen Mangan and his illustrator sister Anita will also appear.
A raft of old favourites are returning ensuring there really is something for everyone.
All Saints singer Nicole, 48, enjoyed a return to the limelight earlier this year as the Fawn character on The Masked Singer.
She placed third behind Ricky Wilson’s Phoenix and Charlie Simpson’s Rhino.
Panellist Jonathan Ross thought Fawn was Nicole’s bandmate Shaznay Lewis before the big reveal.
Once Nicole had slipped off her mask, she said: “I’ve had so much fun fooling you guys, it was such a buzz.
“I’ve had the best time ever, it’s been amazing. I do recommend it.”
Gene, 21, has kept a low profile since being involved in a scuffle alongside Ringo Starr’s grandson in a branch of supermarket Tesco last year.
The new series of Celebrity Gogglebox is available to watch or to stream on Channel 4 on Fridays at 9pm on Channel 4.
