Michael is perfectly happy off camera
Celebrity Gogglebox star Johnny Vegas says that his son doesn’t join him on the C4 show because he’s too shy.
The hugely popular comedian and actor explained that his 16-year-old son Michael wasn’t up for appearing on Gogglebox. So, that’s why we instead see Johnny with his pal Beverley Dixon. And Johnny admitted that it was a "shame" Michael wasn't also offering his thoughts on the latest telly.
Talking to Good Morning Britain, Johnny revealed: “He’s a 16-year-old in lockdown, he’s wired in, he’s got headphones in.
“He’s actually quite shy, I think he is going through that self-conscious stage, which is a shame.
“But all he does when we watch television together is I go, ‘Look at that, it’s ridiculous! Look at the state of that!' And he just nods.”
Johnny, 48, also quipped it felt like he was just there to make his son’s meals! “I’ve never felt more like a hotel that’s open for just one customer!”
