Baddiel and Skinner back on the sofa

For Celebrity Googlebox

Frank Skinner and David Baddiel are to share a sofa once more for the new series of Celebrity Googlebox.

The comics will be recreating the dynamic of  Fantasy Football League and Baddiel And Skinner Unplanned on Channel 4 from Friday.

The celebrity version of the show is in aid of Stand Up To Cancer and Skinner said: ‘It is an amazing cause and Dave and me, back on a sofa, seems a better deal than cycling up K2, carrying a fridge to Istanbul or any of that sweaty stuff people do for charity.’

Baddiel added: ‘I’m a big fan of Gogglebox, Stand Up To Cancer, and Frank Skinner, so this wasn’t a difficult yes. If we can raise awareness and cash to fight this terrible disease, it’s worth the huge effort of slumping in front of the screen with my old friend.’

Yesterday it was revealed that Stephen Merchant and Josh Widdicombe are also teaming up for the show.

The news of Baddiel and Skinner’s was first reported in The Sun and confirmed by the show’s social media feed this morning.
