Celebrity Gogglebox RECAP: Andy Burnham tears up as he watches devastating cancer story Prime Minister Andy Burnham was emotional as he watched a number of heartbreaking cancer stories alongside Liverpool City Region mayor, Steve Rotheram on Celebrity Gogglebox Andy Burnham was seen tearing up as he watched a number of heartbreaking cancer stories told on Celebrity Gogglebox. The PM made history on Celebrity Gogglebox as he took in some of the week's best telly. The current Prime Minister was joined by his close friend, the Mayor of the Liverpool City Region, Steve Rotheram on the Channel 4 show. The pair kicked back with a beer and pork scratchings while watching television from the comfort of 10 Downing Street. While Burnham may have been the first Prime Minister to sign up to appear on the show, he is not the first Labour leader. In 2017, Jeremy Corbyn appeared on a charity special, and others from the world of politics, such as Alistair Campbell, Tony Blair's former spin doctor, and Stanley Johnson, the father of ex-Conservative PM Boris Johnson, have also taken part. Elsewhere in the charity special, viewers were entertained by Joe Lycett, just days after his exit from The Celebrity Traitors was aired. He was joined by his aunties, Pauline and Margaret. A sentence we never expected to say. Tonight, PM Andy Burnham and Steve Rotherham will make their debut on the show, sitting at 10 Downing Street. The programme airs in aid of Stand Up To Cancer, and Andy is no stranger to charitable causes. Throughout his tenure as Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy often threw himself into work, helping those around him. Jamie Roberts There we have it Thanks for watching along with us.
