A host of celebrities do their bit to raise cash for cancer research

Expect plenty of laughs – and tear-jerking moments, too – as comedian Alan Carr, The Circle presenter and DJ Maya Jama and The Last Leg’s Adam Hills team up to host a special night in aid of Stand Up to Cancer.

Tonight’s specials include: The Muppets (7.30pm), Carpool Karaoke: Michael Bublé (8pm), Stars of Celebrity Bake Off (8.30pm) and Gogglebox (9pm).

There’s also a host of famous faces, star-studded sketches and some heart-breaking stories, in which people share their experiences of the disease and honour those who have died (including, at 11pm, a tribute to Aretha Franklin).

Now in its sixth year, the event raises funds for cancer research – you can donate via text, phone and online.
