Craig David & KSI to join the Celebrity Gogglebox sofa for Stand Up to Cancer

22 October 2020

The multi award-winning Gogglebox returns once again with a very special celebrity edition for Stand Up To Cancer. Critically acclaimed singer/songwriter Craig David will be sharing the famous sofa with fellow musician, collaborator and Celebrity Gogglebox regular KSI as part of Channel 4 and Cancer Research UK’s Stand Up To Cancer campaign on Friday 23rd October.

This very special edition of the TV review programme will see Craig and KSI join the likes of Celebrity Gogglebox favourites Mo Gilligan and Babatunde Aleshe as they pass judgement on a vast array of TV goodness.  Between their own cutting remarks, tears and laughter will be the views of Britain’s favourite opinionated viewers; the regular Gogglebox households including best friends Jenny and Lee, Blackpool brother and sister Pete and Sophie, and the Siddiquis.   

In recent years, the famous sofa dwellers supporting the campaign have included Naomi Campbell, Noel Gallagher, Steve Pemberton, Reece Shearsmith, Steve Coogan, Liam Gallagher, Freddie Flintoff, Jamie Dornan, Ed Sheeran, Big Narstie, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Danny and Dani Dyer.

Craig David commented, "I'm thrilled to be doing the Gogglebox Stand Up To Cancer special with KSI. It's such an amazing cause and such a fun show to do."

KSI added, “I am very excited to return to Celebrity Gogglebox, but this time with Craig David. I’m even more excited to return for such a good cause too. This Stand Up To Cancer episode will be a special one raising a lot of money for those who need it most!”
