GOGGLEBOX stars got off their sofa to lend their backing to a new mobile phone app promoting Brighton.

Brighton couple Chris Steed and Stephen Webb teamed up with Churchill Square to launch the Brighton Life app, which is filled with news, events and exclusive offers from across the city.

Mr Steed, a hugely popular figure with his partner on the Channel 4 show Gogglebox, said: “If you want a life in Brighton, you need to get the Brighton Life app - simple. I’ve lived in Brighton for years, it is a fabulous place and there is just so much to do.

“This app is brilliant. It gives you money off in popular restaurants, and loads of good discounts. It also reminds you of all the things there are to see and do.”

Mark Buchanan-Smith, director of Churchill Square, said the app uses profile data to tailor special offers, news and information to help everyone plan their own experiences.

He said: "There is so much happening in Brighton that there’s always something new to do or see.

“We wanted to bring all of this together in one handy app, and to make it easy for people to immediately access inspiring, exciting and useful information to ensure they get the most out of their visit.

"We have teamed up with partners across the city to provide everything from dedicated discounts for foodies and fantastic deals for fashionistas, to maps, listings, reviews and recommendations for those looking to explore everything Brighton has to offer."
