The special supports Stand Up To Cancer, a powerhouse fundraising campaign from Cancer Research UK and Channel 4.

Since 2012, it’s raised over £113 million, backed 73 clinical trials, and helped more than 13,000 patients, funding groundbreaking research from AI-powered radiotherapy to lollypops that detect mouth cancer.

Stars from Idris Elba to Tom Hardy and Lily James have all backed the cause – and now Hollywood’s A-list is joining the fight.

Josh, 47 – the Hollywood heartthrob known for Pearl Harbor, Black Hawk Down and most recently Oppenheimer – is teaming up with his real-life leading lady, British actress Tamsin, 37, from St Trinian’s, Camelot and Love, Rosie.

Dad-of-four Josh couldn’t hide his excitement, saying: “Tamsin introduced me to Gogglebox many years ago and I’ve been a fan ever since.

“Having the chance to sit with her, share a few laughs and inevitably say something that embarrasses us both, all while helping raise awareness for the worthiest of charities, is the perfect way to kick off the holiday season.

“I’m incredibly excited to be a part of it, and to support Stand up to Cancer.”

Tamsin added her own cosy take saying: “We first started watching Gogglebox during lockdown in 2020.

“I found it so comforting watching other families around the country watching TV ‘with’ us.

“It’s such a great cross-section of the UK.

“Ever since then, Josh and I have tried to watch it together whenever we can.

“I can’t wait to snuggle up on the sofa with him for such an important cause as Stand up to Cancer.”

Stand Up to Cancer launches its 13th telethon on Friday.

After a half-hour introduction show from Adam Hills and Davina McCall, the serious side takes centre stage at 8pm.

This will be Cancer Clinic Live, billed as a groundbreaking documentary, which takes us live inside a one-off cancer clinic in Cambridge.

Then Celebrity Gogglebox at 9pm, The Big Bash at 10pm for a live hour, and The Last Leg at 11.05pm.
