Celebrity Gogglebox is stepping up its game, bringing Hollywood heavyweights onto the show for a special Stand Up to Cancer episode this Friday. The beloved TV series, known for its candid celebrity couch commentary, is welcoming none other than Oppenheimer's Josh Hartnett and his wife, Tamsin Egerton. They'll be sharing the sofa to offer their takes on the week's best TV moments, all while supporting a cause close to their hearts.
The decision to join the show wasn't taken lightly by Hartnett, who has been a long-time fan of Gogglebox, thanks to Egerton. "Tamsin introduced me to Gogglebox many years ago, and I've been a fan ever since," Hartnett shared. "Having the chance to sit with her, share a few laughs, and inevitably say something that embarrasses us both, all while helping raise awareness for the worthiest of charities, is the perfect way to kick off the holiday season. I’m incredibly excited to be a part of it, and to support Stand Up to Cancer."
Adding even more star wattage to the lineup is Oscar-winner Kieran Culkin, fresh off his win for A Real Pain. Culkin will be joined by his wife, Jazz Charton, as they too immerse themselves in the Gogglebox experience. This episode promises not only to draw attention to an important cause but to bring a blend of humor and humanity as these stars step away from the glitz and into the living room.
While the special episode will highlight these new celebrity faces, the main Gogglebox series continues to evolve with fresh talents. Recently introduced are families and friends from across the UK, including Glasgow's Jake and Calum, and the Gordons from Surrey. This expansion reflects the diverse tapestry of British television viewers, bringing a broader array of perspectives to the screen.
The Celebrity Gogglebox Stand Up to Cancer special is set to air on Channel 4 at 9pm this Friday. For those seeking guidance or support related to cancer, resources are available through Macmillan Cancer Support and Stand Up to Cancer. This episode aims to entertain and engage audiences while contributing to a critical global cause.
