The father and son duo will be making an appearance
Last updated 3rd Nov 2023
Father and son duo Jeff and Bobby Brazier are set to take part in a special episode of Celebrity Gogglebox, in aid of Stand Up To Cancer. Channel 4 is teaming up with Cancer Research UK for the annual fundraising event.
The special episode of Celebrity Gogglebox will air on Channel 4 on Friday (3rd November) at 8:30pm. Other famous faces including Stephen Graham, Harry Hill and Nicole Scherzinger are also taking part in the show.
Bobby was only five-years-old when his mum Jade Goody sadly died aged 27, after a battle with cervical cancer. His brother Freddie was aged just four. As reported by Mail Online, Jeff and Bobby have opened up about their decision to take part. Jeff said: "We understand first-hand the impact cancer has on families.
"Doing Celebrity Gogglebox for Stand Up To Cancer is supporting a cause that's incredibly close to our hearts. Cancer affects so many lives, and it's crucial to keep raising awareness and funds for research.
"Through laughter and shared moments, we hope to inspire others to stand up to cancer with us, knowing that every contribution brings us closer to beating this terrible disease."
20-year-old EastEnders actor Bobby added: "I'm really looking forward to being on Celebrity Gogglebox with my dad. It's for a great cause, I can't wait to just sit down in front to the TV and relax for once. It's been a long time since we've sat in front of the TV and done nothing together."
Bobby is currently impressing fans on Strictly Come Dancing, as he competes on the show with his dance partner Dianne Buswell. He is also well known for his role of Freddie Slater in EastEnders, having been scouted for the much-loved soap via social media.
In September, Bobby won the Rising Star award at the National Television Awards, paying tribute to his dad Jeff with an emotional speech which captured the hearts of viewers.
Take a look at the Gogglebox cast:
Ellie and Izzi Warner
Sisters Ellie and Izzi Warner from Leeds have also become fan favourites after first joining the show in 2015.
Izzi gave birth to a beautiful baby girl called Bessie Rose in early 2020, whilst Ellie recently announced she was expecting her first child with her boyfriend Nat.
In early 2022, Izzi also introduced fans to her brand new puppy called Cookie.
Ellie and Izzi took a break from Gogglebox during season 19, following Ellie's boyfriend Nat being left 'fighting for his life' after he was hit by a car during a night out in Leeds in March. Ellie later revealed on 13th May that her and sister Izzi would be returning to our screens that night, thanking fans for their well wishes.
Ellie and Izzi returned for series 23.
Pete and Sophie
Brother and sister duo Pete and Sophie Sandiford have become one of the most popular castings in Gogglebox history! The funny siblings first joined the cast in 2017.
It seems that comedy runs in the family for these two, with the recent revelation that the pair are related to none other than Paul Chuckle himself!
After getting married to his girlfriend Paige Yeomans, the pair welcomed their first child into the world in 2021, with little Jimmy already making an appearance on Gogglebox. In December 2022, Pete then confirmed Paige is pregnant with the couple's second child.
During series 21, Pete confirmed the birth of his second child, and the pair returned for series 23.

Jenny and Lee, who film the show from Lee's caravan in Hull, have been best friends for over 20 years and often delight fans by sharing throwback photos of each other.
In series 19, Jenny and Lee took a break from the show after Jenny underwent surgery for a minor illness. However, the pair were back for series 20 and have appeared on the show since.
The Malone family
The Malone family, made up of Tom, Julie, Tom Jnr and Shaun, are one of the most popular families with fans. They first joined the cast in 2014.
