The multi award-winning Gogglebox returns once again with a very special celebrity edition for Stand Up To Cancer. Spice Girl and patron of Women’s Aid, Melanie B MBE and her pal, comedian, writer and TV presenter, Ruby Wax are the final famous faces joining the famous sofa tonight as part of Channel 4 and Cancer Research UK’s Stand Up To Cancer spectacular.
This very special edition of the ever-popular TV review programme will see Melanie & Ruby join other famous faces including Tom Daley & his husband Dustin Lance Black, Gordon Ramsay and his daughter Tilly, and best pals, Charlotte Church & Luke Evans as they pass judgement on a vast array of TV goodness. Between their own cutting remarks, tears and laughter will be the views of Britain’s favourite opinionated viewers; the regular Gogglebox households including Jenny and Lee, Pete and Sophie, Marcus and Mica, and the Siddiquis.

Mel B: “Cancer touches so many peoples’ lives. My big, strong, beautiful dad was just 63 when he died after a long battle with multiple myeloma cancer. I miss him every single day. He loved to watch telly and he loved to laugh, so I’m doing this for him and for everyone else out there who has lost someone to cancer.”
