Comedians Stephen Merchant and Josh Widdicombe have been announced as the first stars to feature in the Celebrity Gogglebox special for Stand Up To Cancer, airing on October 25. Both comedians expressed their enthusiasm for participating in the show, with Merchant highlighting the charity's vital work in funding life-saving cancer research and stating he is willing to break his usual rule of silence while watching TV for this cause. Widdicombe, who joked about his height compared to Merchant's, echoed the sentiment, calling the charity an 'incredible cause'. The special aims to raise awareness and funds for Stand Up To Cancer, which has raised over £113 million since its inception in 2012, funding numerous clinical trials. More celebrity pairings for the special will be revealed in the coming days as part of the show's ongoing commitment to support cancer research.
