David Tennant and wife Georgia complete star-studded Celebrity Gogglebox line-up

The last names to join Celebrity Googlebox have been revealed: David Tennant and his wife, Georgia.

The Dr Who star, 54, and his partner, 40, will complete the star-studded line-up for the special episode for Channel 4’s Stand Up To Cancer, which will air tonight.

King Charles is also due to give an update on his cancer recovery as part of the programming on Friday night.

In a preview, Georgia - an actress, who met David while working on Dr Who - films a selfie video, saying: “Hi David.”

“What’s happening?” David asks.

“This is called social media,” Georgia jokes.

“Join us, won’t you,” she adds. Georgia then whispers that she’s “terrified”.

The pair will join Oscar-winning actor Kieran Culkin, who will appear alongside his wife Jazz, and Pearl Harbour star Josh Hartnett, who will appear alongside his partner, St Trinian’s actress Tamsin Egerton.

Also appearing on the show are Celebrity Traitors stars Joe Marler and Nick Mohammed.

Former England rugby player Marler, 35, and comedian Mohammed, 45, will rekindle their onscreen friendship which they developed during the BBC reality gameshow as they comment on a selection of TV on the special.

During The Celebrity Traitors final Mohammed who had built a pact with Marler to defeat the traitors, singer Cat Burns, TV presenter Jonathan Ross, and eventual winner, comedian Alan Carr, banished his friend after becoming suspicious.

Marler said: “When they told me I’d be doing Celebrity Gogglebox with Nick for Stand Up To Cancer, I felt it would be a great opportunity to finally stare him in the eye and ask why he gleefully betrayed me on national television.

“But honestly, I wouldn’t want to do it with anyone else. We had a mad old time on the Traitors, and somehow came out of it as actual mates… though I’ll be keeping one eye on him at all times, just in case.

“Supporting SU2C (Stand Up To Cancer) was a no-brainer – cancer affects everyone in some way, and if us two idiots watching telly can help raise money and awareness, then I’m all in.

“Plus, I love Gogglebox. It’s the only job where talking rubbish on the sofa counts as fundraising – and Nick can’t betray me, unless he’s going to try and backstab me with the remote.”
