Inside No. 9 co-creators and stars Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith will be sharing the Gogglebox sofa together as part of Channel 4 and Cancer Research UK’s Stand Up To Cancer campaign on Friday 25th October.

This special edition of the TV review programme will see the famous faces pass judgement on a vast array on TV goodness.  Between their own cutting remarks, tears and laughter will be the views of Britain’s favourite opinionated viewers; the genuine Gogglebox households including best friends Jenny and Lee, Blackpool brother and sister Pete and Sophie, and the Siddiquis.

Steve Pemberton & Reece Shearmith said, “We are big Gogglebox fans and couldn’t be more chuffed to be on the sofa together. We have slightly questionable telly tastes but as it’s for an amazing cause like Stand Up To Cancer, hopefully the viewers will let it slide. Cancer affects way too many of us and we need to pull together and put a stop to it.”

In recent years the show has seen an amazing variety of celebrities share a sofa all in the name of charity; from Naomi Campbell and Noel Gallagher, Jamie Dornan and Nick Frost to One Direction’s Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson, Danny and Dani Dyer, England footballers Dele Alli and Eric Dier, Steve Coogan and Anna Friel and pop stars Olly Murs and Niall Horan.

Since its launch in the UK in 2012, the RTS award-winning and BAFTA nominated Stand Up To Cancer, the joint national fundraising campaign from Cancer Research UK and Channel 4, has raised over £62 million to date funding 52 clinical trials and projects involving 11,000 cancer patients across the country.

*Celebrity Gogglebox is followed at 10pm by a special Stand Up to Cancer edition of The Last Leg fronted by Adam Hills, Josh Widdicombe and Alex Brooker with guests Kathy Burke and Harry Hill. 

Celebrity Gogglebox For Stand Up To Cancer is on C4 on Friday, October 25 at 9pm on C4.
