Speaking about his upcoming appearance on the show, Olly said, "'I’m such a big fan of Gogglebox so being able to be on it with Niall is amazing, especially when it’s for such a brilliant cause like Stand Up To Cancer. We all need to play a part in beating cancer so let’s all join together and raise as much as we can."

Talking about filming the show, Niall added “Olly and I had a great laugh filming Gogglebox and hope that we can raise as much as possible for such a great cause. With every penny raised going towards finding cures for cancer, we’re honoured to be a part of Stand Up to Cancer’s fundraising this year.”

Olly and Niall aren’t the only celebrities taking part in the special show. England football stars Daniel Sturridge, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Jamie Vardy will also appear on the episode which will air on Channel 4 on Friday 21st October.
