Jeremy Corbyn will appear on a special edition of Channel 4’s Gogglebox later this year to support Stand Up To Cancer.

Of course, the Labour Leader won’t be alone — a ‘mystery celebrity’ will join Corbyn on the sofa, the pair watching a selection of currently undisclosed television programmes.

Where exactly that sofa will be, though, remains unknown. The politician is not expected to film the episode at home.

"He's really looking forward to it,” one Labour source told the BBC. “It's a great programme for a great cause.”

Stand Up To Cancer has revealed that numerous other high-profile people will also appear on the show, only hinting at names.

“This very special edition of the TV review programme will see some surprise faces join the show’s favourite families as they pass judgement on a vast array of TV goodness,” they said in a statement.

The celebrity special Gogglebox is on Channel 4, 3 November at 9pm.
