The 38-year-old comedian will share the sofa with his aunties, Pauline and Margaret, as they react to some of the week’s biggest television moments in the Channel 4 favourite’s charity edition, airing this Friday.
In a light-hearted preview clip filmed ahead of the episode, Joe introduces himself before turning to his relatives and asking: “Hello, Joe Lycett here and who am I here with?”
His aunties respond together: “Auntie Margaret and Auntie Pauline.”
Joe then explains that they are “thrilled” to be taking part in the Gogglebox special in support of Stand Up To Cancer, before asking what their role will involve.
The pair deliver a typically straightforward answer: “We’re watching a lot of TV and eating chocolate.”
Joe signs off by telling viewers: “We can’t wait to see you on Friday. Bye!”
Celebrity Traitors star Joe Lycett is the first celebrity confirmed for Gogglebox’s Stand Up To Cancer special.
The 38-year-old comedian will be joined by his aunties on the sofa as they watch some of the week’s best TV in the Channel 4 favourite’s charity special, airing this Friday.
The announcement comes after Lycett admitted that his own “silly billy” behaviour contributed to his recent exit from the BBC’s The Celebrity Traitors, where he was the latest contestant banished from the castle last week.
The comedian, who competed as a Faithful, believes his eagerness to become a Traitor ultimately made him an easy target.
Speaking to the BBC, Joe said: “I’m a silly billy. It was a combination of me begging for recruitment and then the Faithful being thick as mince and not thinking the obvious recruitment would be Joe.”
He added: “I don’t blame them, because I would have done the same.”
“I concede I’ve done this very much to myself, but I was too hungry to be recruited. And you know, if being passionate is a crime, then banish me from the castle,” he said.
A devoted fan of the hit reality series, Joe now looks back on his Celebrity Traitors stint with some regret.
The Lycett Arms host explained: “I’m a fan of the show, I really love this programme, and I wanted to get as much of the experience as possible.”
He continued: “I wanted to know what it felt like to be a Faithful and what it felt like to be a Traitor. So it was just a desire to absorb as much of the experience as possible.”
“But I hadn’t factored into that that I’m a silly billy, so I sabotage myself sometimes,” Joe admitted.
He concluded: “I think I did get a very me experience of what it was like to be me on The Traitors. I don’t feel like I pretended to be someone else.”
Lycett previously admitted that his “silly billy” behaviour contributed to his exit from the BBC’s The Celebrity Traitors, after he was banished from the castle last week.
