Gordon Ramsay and Strictly star daughter Tilly to join special Gogglebox episode

Tilly (Person) Gordon Ramsay Channel 4 Cancer

Gordon Ramsay and his daughter Tilly will make an appearance together in a special episode of Gogglebox.

The celebrity chef, 55, and Strictly Come Dancing star Tilly, 20, are joining the popular series as part of Channel 4’s Stand Up To Cancer special. The father-daughter duo will be watching TV highlights from their sofa in matching onesies, in a special treat for viewers to help fundraising efforts for life-saving cancer research.

The famous pair will star alongside the usual Gogglebox regulars on Friday at 9pm, according to The Sun. And their appearance is sure to be entertaining, as they admitted to having ‘polar opposite’ tastes when it comes to watching TV, The Mirror reports .

Gordon and Tilly 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.”

The news will no doubt be welcomed by Gogglebox fans, with some having been left disgruntled after last week’s episode was moved from its regular Friday night slot. The latest episode was bumped to Saturday night instead, due to Channel 4’s 40th birthday celebrations.

But despite the beloved show only being moved by 24 hours to make way for a special edition of Friday Night Live, many viewers were upset at the change. “Gogglebox is the gateway to the weekend!” one fan complained.
