Funnyman Harry jumped at the chance to lend a hand and said: “It’s been a while since I doled out my thoughts on the funniest, weirdest and best TV of the week and as a huge fan of Gogglebox I’m looking forward to plopping myself down on the sofa with a nice cup of tea and my good friend Tim Vine. So let’s raise a few laughs and hopefully loads of money too.”

Tim can't wait for the sofa session and said: “I’m really looking forward to appearing with my friend Harry on Celebrity Gogglebox for Stand up to Cancer. What a great idea it is to combine watching television and appearing on it into one easy action. I recently bought a new TV and once I got it home I spent the next five hours watching the box. Then I thought better of it and started watching the TV itself! Join us this Friday, and let’s stand up to the Big C together.”
Ab Fab legend Jen urged fans to dig deep and said: “Celebrity Gogglebox for Stand Up To Cancer is not just about spending time with my gorgeous daughter, Beattie. Laughter is a powerful force, and if our participation can bring even a twitch of a smile to someone's face, then it's an absolute privilege. Together, Beattie and I are standing up to cancer, and we're doing it with positivity, laughter, and hopefully some good jokes."
The brilliant night will climax in The SU2C Comedy Roast, an entertaining extravaganza hosted by Rhod Gilbert and featuring an array of comedy talent including Ellie Taylor, Danny Beard, and Nish Kumar. Comics Sara Barron, Thanyia Moore, Bobby Mair, Harriet Kemsley, Fatiha El-Ghorri and Larry Dean will also take part in a ‘roast roulette’.
