Liam Gallagher has said he signed up to take part in a celebrity Gogglebox special to put cancer “in its f****** place”.

The outspoken singer will dish out his opinions on some of the biggest TV shows as he takes his place on the sofa with his mother Peggy and son Gene to raise money for Stand-Up To Cancer.

Gallagher was thanked by a fan for signing up to the show to help those fighting the disease. They tweeted: “Thanks for doing it Liam sadly me and my family have a lost loved one to the C word nights like Friday mean so much to help others in need.”

Gallagher replied: “I’m sorry to hear that man we all gotta keep trying to put that f****** disease in its f****** place as you were x (sic).”

Speaking about his debut on the hit Channel 4 show he said: “It’s an honour and privilege to be invited on one of my favourite TV shows, the mighty Gogglebox especially with my fam and for such a great cause as Stand up To Cancer.”

Show bosses are hoping the former Oasis frontman, who earlier this year admitted to being a huge Love Island fan, will provide “TV gold”.

A source told The Sun: “Liam is one of the most opinionated celebrities ever.

“To get him talking about current shows will be TV Gold.

“If he’s half as ruthless as he is on Twitter, viewers will be in for a treat.”

The one-off special will also feature Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn as well as rock royalty Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, and A League of Their Own duo Freddie Flintoff and Jamie Redknapp.

Gogglebox: Celebrity Special for SU2C is on Channel 4, Friday at 9pm.
