Michael Sheen and his partner Anna Lundberg are to appear on a special edition of Gogglebox in aid of Stand Up To Cancer this Friday.

The acting couple will be joined by other famous faces and Gogglebox regulars to run the rule over the week's TV in the special programme, which has become an annual tradition in recent years.

"Supporting a brilliant cause like Stand Up To Cancer means such a lot to us both," said Sheen and Lundberg, who have been together for three years.

"The fact that we can sit on the sofa and watch TV – some of it slightly questionable – is a definite bonus.

"We had such fun filming and are delighted that we can join the Gogglebox families in playing our part this year."

Gogglebox: Celebrity Special for Stand Up To Cancer airs Friday at 8.30pm on Channel 4.
