Comedian Katherine Ryan and her partner Bobby Kootstra appeared on Celebrity Gogglebox but she’s “not sure” that the pair “were the best fit” for the show.
This comes after the couple haven’t been asked back to do more Celebrity Gogglebox shows "so far", Ryan said.
The show is a twist on the original Gogglebox with celebrities taking to their sofas to watch and react to the TV shows that have aired during the week.
Celebrity Gogglebox has seen the likes of Sir Tom Jones, Roman Kemp, Mel C and more famous faces get cosy on their sofas.
Katherine Ryan "loved" being on Gogglebox with partner but says "we haven't been asked back so far"
Speaking to The Sun, Ryan explained that she and her partner haven’t been asked to continue being part of the show, saying: “I loved working with Bobby.
"I like people getting to know Bobby a little bit more comes out of his shell. He's really, really funny.
"I'm not sure that we were the best fit for Celebrity Goggle Box only because we were new and there are so many other families and couples on there, that I don't think we were on it very much.
"I loved being on it and I would love to be of more use on it.
"We haven't been asked back so far, but that's okay. Like I'm not right for everything. I loved the opportunity because it's a show that we watch...
"But I'm wondering like, how I can be funnier. You know, I'm not going to lie and pretend I didn't notice that I'm on it for like five seconds.
"It’s alright, it’s ok to like to participate and be on something for five seconds.”

She added that she’s aware she isn’t “as funny” as previous guests on the show like Roman and Martin Kemp and “maybe not as funny” as Rylan Clark and his mum Linda.
However, she said: "That’s fine, I still loved the show, it was an honour to participate."
The Sun says it has contacted Channel 4 for comment.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
