Celebrity Gogglebox Stand Up To Cancer 2025 cast
For the Stand Up To Cancer special, which aired on Friday 12th December, David Tennant and Georgia Tennant joined the line-up, along with Kieran Culkin and his wife Jazz Charton, Josh Hartnett and Tamsin Egerton, and Nick Mohammed and Joe Marler.
David Tennant and Georgia Tennant
Actor David Tennant and his wife Georgia Tennant have joined the Celebrity Gogglebox charity special.
David is best known for playing the Tenth and Fourteenth Doctor in Doctor Who, while Georgia is an actress and producer whose credits include The Bill, Doctor Who (‘The Doctor’s Daughter’), and Merlin. She also appeared of the show earlier this year with friend and presenter Fearne Cotton.
Kieran Culkin and Jazz Charton
Actor Kieran Culkin and his wife Jazz Charton have joined Celebrity Gogglebox for this year’s Stand Up To Cancer special.
Kieran – the younger brother of Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin – made his own screen debut alongside him in the 1990 Christmas classic. He went on to appear in films such as Father of the Bride, playing Steve Martin’s young son, but he’s best known today for his sharp-tongued, scene-stealing role as Roman Roy in HBO’s Succession.
Kieran met British advertising professional Jazz Charton in 2012, and the pair eloped the following year during a cross-country road trip through Iowa. They now share three children, and Kieran’s Succession co-star Sarah Snook is godmother to their son.
Josh Hartnett and Tamsin Egerton
Pearl Harbour star Josh Hartnett and his wife, actress Tamsin Egerton (known for the St. Trinian’s films), are swapping the big screen for some good old-fashioned armchair critiquing.
“We first started watching Gogglebox during lockdown in 2020 – I found it so comforting seeing other families around the country watching TV ‘with’ us,” Tamsin said.
“It’s such a great cross-section of the UK, and 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.”
Nick Mohammed and Joe Marler
Celebrity Traitors finalists Nick Mohammed and Joe Marler have teamed up once again – only this time, there shouldn’t be any last-minute betrayals (looking at you, Nick).
Channel 4 shared the news on Instagram, and fans are already pitching ideas for what the pair should watch. One viewer even suggested the Waitrose advert featuring Joe Wilkinson – a fun nod to Joe Marler’s enthusiasm for him during Traitors.
Joe Marler is a former rugby union player, while Nick Mohammed is an actor best known for Ted Lasso and Slow Horses.
Celebrity Gogglebox airs on Channel 4 on Fridays at 9pm.
