Prime Minister Andy Burnham is set to feature on a popular TV show tonight (Friday, October 23).
From No. 10 Downing Street, he joins other famous faces on Gogglebox but will sit on the sofa next to the Mayor of Liverpool, Steve Rotheram.
The friends will react to the week's television programmes, and it's all for a good cause as the show's Stand Up To Cancer special is back.
Channel 4 said: “Nothing is off limits as Gogglebox continues to celebrate the simple joy of watching television together.
“They’ll be sharing hilarious, honest and often unexpected reactions to the week’s biggest television moments as well as poignant stories all in aid of Stand Up To Cancer.”
