Gordon and Tilly Ramsay
Father daughter duo Gordon and Tilly Ramsay were the first new celebrities revealed to be taking part. They said of joining the show: "We’re always happy to support the superb work that Stand Up To Cancer do, and despite our TV tastes being polar opposites, we had a lot of fun filming this very special episode of Gogglebox. Every penny raised goes towards finding cures for cancer so I hope we can help raise bucketloads of money."
Luke Evans and Charlotte Church
Flying the flag for Wales is good friends, actor Luke Evans and singer Charlotte Church. Charlotte said: "Cancer affects so many – with one in two of us getting a diagnosis in our lifetime – so we’re delighted we can play a small part in supporting the incredible work being done by Stand Up To Cancer." Meanwhile, co-star Luke, who's known for his roles in Beauty and the Beast and Nine Perfect Strangers currently airing on Channel 4, added: "I love the show so it’s a bit of a treat to be able to watch TV and enjoy some snacks, all for such a good cause – I can’t wait to see what we’ll be watching!"
Tom Daley and Dustin Lance Black
The third celebrity couple revealed was Tom Daley and Dustin Lance Black. The pair married in 2017 and have a son together.
Speaking of taking part, Tom and Dustin said: “Stand Up To Cancer is a cause extremely close to our hearts so it’s an honour to be part of this year’s Gogglebox line-up and help raise vital funds that can really make a difference. As big fans of the show, it’s going to be very surreal being on it but we’re very much looking forward to watching what they have in store for us.”
Mel B and Ruby Wax
The final new pair of celebrities revealed was The Spice Girls' Mel B and comedian Ruby Wax. Mel told The Mirror how she has signed up for the series because of her late father. She said: “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.”
Ruby, meanwhile, lost her “best friend and mentor” Alan Rickman to pancreatic cancer in 2016, and said last year: “I think of him every day.”
