Celebrity Gogglebox star Mo Gilligan reveals impressive talent
Celebrity Gogglebox is back on fans' screens, and in tonight's episode (July 7), viewers got to see one of comedian Mo Gilligan's other talents.
Joining him on his sofa was fellow comedian Babatunde Aléshé with the duo having viewers of the Channel 4 show in stitches after being inspired by Idris Elba's newest Apple TV+ Show.
Towards the end of the programme, the celebrities watched an episode of the thriller Hijack.
In Hijack, corporate negotiator Sam Nelson (Idris) finds himself trapped on a flight that is being hijacked and he must use his skills to try and save his fellow passengers before it's too late.

In the intense scenes unfolding on Gogglebox, Sam created a network of onboard confidants, such as an air steward, to try and assess the situation.
Sure that they had figured out at least one of the hijacker's guns had blanks, Sam moved towards the back of the plane to try and take out a terrorist.
However, after a nail-biting fight, the scene ended with the man holding a gun to Sam, and as the camera panned away, viewers heard a gunshot, with no idea of the aftermath and if it was in fact, a blank.
After watching the scene, presenter Fearne Cotton said: "I will never fly again.
"I am going to have to get a ferry to Ibiza."

Babatunde turned to Mo and said: "Do your best Idris impression, go on."
Without hesitation, Mo replied in a deep husky voice, not too dissimilar to Idris in Hijack: "You know there is no bullets in there..."
Babatunde cracked up as his funny friend continued: "Let me tell you something, do you think you can come here and eat my strawberries?"
Mo was munching on a fresh batch of strawberries which he began to use as a prop. "You can't eat my strawberries, why? cause I'm Idris Elba," he said.
The two broke out in hysterics when he ended his impression.

"Mo is crackers but gotta love him," an onlooker shared.
The duo were loved online by spectators, with one saying: "These two are so funny."
"Bubba and Mo are best mate goals!" another chimed in.
Celebrity Gogglebox airs on Friday nights at 9pm on Channel 4.
