Celebrity Gogglebox For Stand Up To Cancer returns to screens tonight.

There’s one thing more we love than watching television; watching celebrities watching television.

Once again, we can expect a host of familiar faces – alongside the regular Gogglebox families and friends – cosied up in living rooms across the nation; yelling at the TV.

Who is appearing?

Now we’re cooking on gas! We can expect star turns from everyone’s favourite bent coppers show: Line of Duty.

The three actors are some of the most familiar faces on British TV, so now it’s their chance to chat about what they’re watching on the small screen instead.

Adrian said: It’s an honour to be part of the esteemed Gogglebox line up especially when it’s raising money for the phenomenal work Stand Up To Cancer do. Being able to watch a load of great – and some questionable – TV alongside Vicky and Martin is an added bonus.”

Vicky added: “I am a big fan of Gogglebox, really chuffed to be asked, and quite surreal, to be part of the Stand Up To Cancer special with Adrian and Martin. We hope we can help raise much needed funds for such an amazing cause.”
