Gordon Ramsay and daughter Tilly to join Celebrity Gogglebox cast

This Friday, celeb chef, Gordon Ramsay, will join the Gogglebox regulars as he takes to the sofa with his daughter, Tilly. The pair have signed up to join the cast on Celebrity Gogglebox, appearing in this week's Stand Up to Cancer special.

Gordon and Tilly will appear on the show, donning matching onesies and sheepskin slippers. The pair said that they had "a lot of fun" filming the series, because their TV tastes are "polar opposites".

They said: "We’re always happy to support the superb work that Stand Up To Cancer do, and despite our TV tastes being polar opposites, we had a lot of fun filming this very special episode of Gogglebox. Every penny raised goes towards finding cures for cancer so I hope we can help raise bucketloads of money."

So far, radio DJ, Chris Moyles, and reality TV star, Olivia Attwood, have both been confirmed for the new I'm a Celeb... series. Other big names are rumoured to be entering the jungle, but ITV have said that these are "pure speculation" for now.
