Stephen shared: "I don’t usually allow talking when the TV is on, because I know how much hard work goes into making shows, so I try to give them my full attention.
But I’m happy to break my own rule for Stand Up to Cancer and join the Gogglebox special this year with my pal Josh Widdicombe.The charity does fantastic work, raising money for life-saving research, and it's a privilege to be involved." Josh also expressed his excitement about joining the special, joking about the height difference between him and his co-star, who stands at 6ft 7.
He said: "Stand Up to Cancer is an incredible cause so I am honoured to be involved. I love Stephen and particularly like working with him when we are sitting down so I don’t look like a hobbit next to him."
