He replaced his good friend Caroline, who died at her home in Timperley near Manchester in the summer of 2016.
In an interview in 2018 Craig spoke out about the emotional impact of filling his close pal’s shoes after she passed away.
Speaking to Radio Times he said: “In November 2013, when she was gravely ill with cancer, Caroline asked if I’d narrate Gogglebox when she wasn’t up to it.
“Of course, I said yes; it was a very sad time and I wanted to do right by her and by the programme.
“Caroline was well and then unwell, well and unwell, so I filled in whenever she needed me to,” he continued.
“When Caroline died in July 2016, I took over narrating duties."
Craig also revealed he now feels poignantly close to Caroline working on Gogglebox.
He said: “Now that time has passed, going into the studio is a lovely little moment because Caroline is with me again.
“And I know she’ll be watching Gogglebox in heaven with 20 Bensons and a bottle of champagne.”
