Nick Mohammed and Joe Marler to star on Gogglebox this week

The Channel 4 show will see the pair react to this week’s TV shows alongside other celebrity guests for the episode that supports and raises awareness for Stand Up To Cancer.

Gogglebox fans have called the pairing “perfect” and said they are “so excited” for the episode to air.

During The Celebrity Traitors final, Mohammed who had built a pact with Marler to defeat the traitors, singer Cat Burns, TV presenter Jonathan Ross, and eventual winner, comedian Alan Carr, banished his friend after becoming suspicious.

Marler said: “When they told me I’d be doing Celebrity Gogglebox with Nick for Stand Up To Cancer, I felt it would be a great opportunity to finally stare him in the eye and ask why he gleefully betrayed me on national television.

“But honestly, I wouldn’t want to do it with anyone else. We had a mad old time on the Traitors, and somehow came out of it as actual mates… though I’ll be keeping one eye on him at all times, just in case.

“Supporting SU2C (Stand Up To Cancer) was a no-brainer – cancer affects everyone in some way, and if us two idiots watching telly can help raise money and awareness, then I’m all in.

“Plus, I love Gogglebox. It’s the only job where talking rubbish on the sofa counts as fundraising – and Nick can’t betray me, unless he’s going to try and backstab me with the remote.”

Mohammed added: “When Gogglebox asked if I’d do their Stand Up To Cancer special with Joe Marler, I thought, ‘great – finally an opportunity for him to apologise for making me believe he was a traitor’.

“Joe still texts me about it every 20 minutes, so sitting on a sofa together, unnaturally close, felt like the safest way to rebuild our trust.

“Supporting SU2C means a huge amount to both of us – cancer affects so many people, and if us nattering through the week’s telly can help raise money for research, then fantastic. And Gogglebox is the purest of joys, friends, food, comfy sofa, and not a chalkboard or Claudia in sight.”
