Alastair Campbell "hated" his time on Celebrity Gogglebox, according to his daughter Grace.
The former Number 10 chief press secretary appeared on the Channel 4 show in 2023 alongside his daughter, who is a comedian.
While Grace enjoyed the experience, she said her father was less than impressed.
Grace Campbell said: "My dad hated it from start to finish.
"He did not enjoy it.
"It wasn't that pleasurable because he was in quite a bad mood.
"My dad's quite impatient; he doesn't understand that cameras take a while to set up and all of that stuff."
She explained that Alastair had never watched the show before and didn't see the appeal.
Alastair was reportedly left even more frustrated after seeing how little of their footage made it to air.
Miss Campbell said: "We watched it, and we were hardly in the edit.
"We were like, 'Did they miss us?'"
Despite her father's frustration, she said the experience ranked "relatively high" in her career, although she had "forgotten" about it.
Miss Campbell also recalled how her choice of socks became a talking point among friends.
She said: "I wore odd socks which, like, none of my friends have forgiven me for.
"They were like, 'Your feet were on TV, and you're wearing odd socks.'"
Reflecting on their on-screen dynamic, she suggested that she and her father may not be a natural double act for television.
Miss Campbell said: "I don't think he and I are a natural double act in the way that some people and their parents are because I think I'm quite chilled, and he likes things to be done quite quickly."
Mr Campbell is best known for his role as the official spokesperson for former Prime Minister Tony Blair.
