SOFAS SO GOOD...

-

MOTHER of God, now we’re sucking diesel. Line of Duty actors Adrian Dunbar, Martin Compston and Vicky McClure are among the celebs settling into their sofas to take part in this Gogglebox celeb special for charity.

The Gogglecops are part of an exciting line up for this edition of the show. “We had such a laugh,” says Martin, better known for scrutinisi­ng criminals than TV shows as DS Steve

Arnott. Viewers love nothing more than seeing famous people in their natural habitat, slobbing out in tracksuit bottoms on the sofa and enjoying their favourite snacks. Producers have remained tight-lipped about the full line-up, although The Who legend Roger Daltrey let it slip that he will be taking part as one of the armchair critics. On another sofa in another house, comedian Mo Gilligan and film actor Babatunde Aleshe are among the famous faces hitting the couch, analysing everything from the entertainm­ent juggernaut­s to the biggest news stories, hard-hitting dramas and gritty documentar­ies. Elsewhere, actor and comedian David Mitchell and his presenter wife Victoria Coren Mitchell are also signed up for some TV-watching, alongside singer Craig David and his friend, YouTuber KSI.

The celebs won’t necessaril­y give the most insight, but they will laugh and cry and yell at the TV, just like the rest of us do. And the whole event will support Stand Up To Cancer, to help fund life-saving research.
