Ed Sheeran is the latest star to sign up to the Celebrity Gogglebox special alongside fellow musicians Example and Big Narstie.

The Shape Of You singer will take a seat on the sofa and talk about TV as part of Channel 4 and Cancer Research UK’s Stand Up To Cancer campaign.

Sheeran said: “I’m such a huge fan of Gogglebox so it’s going to be weirdly surreal to actually be part of it with two of my closest friends, but when it’s for an incredible cause like Stand Up To Cancer, how could we say no?”
