He added: "I cannot wait for you guys to see the pure chaos unfold and show you what we’ve been cooking up.

"This one’s for the girls, the gays and EVERYBODY in between! Fashion isn’t restricted to genders, shapes or size. It’s about feeling iconic. So strap in PLT, because we’re about to have a camp old time."

The reality star's comments section was soon flooded with congratulations from fans and friends, including Love Island's Millie Court, who wrote: "Woooo !!! Well done bby boy".

Last year, Baggs opened up about why he and his family made the decision to leave Gogglebox.

"We decided that there were things we wanted to do that we couldn't do while we were on the show," he explained. "There is a reason there's not many young people on there. It's because we're in this new age of social media that me and George love so much."

Discussing the decision further, he added: "I couldn't see myself just coming home every week and eating a takeaway and doing that for the rest of my life. There's so much more I wanted to do, and that's why we ended up leaving."

Gogglebox airs and streams on Channel 4.
