The celebrity fitness instructor, 68, will join a whole host of other Black stars, including musicians Wretch 32 and Ghetts, and celebrity chef Rustie Lee, in a one-off version of the programme.

A source told The Sun newspaper's TV Biz column: "'Gogglebox' bosses have pulled out all the stops for their Black To Front episode. They’ve got some huge names taking part and it’s all really exciting. Mr Motivator and Rustie are hilarious and make a brilliant duo, as do Wretch and Ghetts.

"Fans will see a totally new side to them when they’re on the sofa having a laugh and watching the telly."

The Jamaican-born TV star - real name Derrick Evans - made his name in the 1990s with appearances on breakfast television, where he performed fitness sessions and offered health advice to viewers before going on to release workouts on video.

The 'Gogglebox' special will also feature Jordan and Ashley Banjo from dance troupe Diversity.

What's more, the Black to Front project - which will air on Channel 4 on Friday (10.09.21) - will see Trevor McDonald replace Anne Robinson as host of 'Countdown' for the day.

Spice Girl Mel B, 46, will take over presenting duties on 'Steph's Packed Lunch' and an episode of 'Hollyoaks' will be written by and feature only black talent.

Channel 4 factual entertainment commissioner Vivienne Molokwu said: "The true reality is that when you turn on British television, you'd be hard-pressed to see for a few hours, let alone the whole day, only Black faces anywhere."
