Channel 4 Celebrity Gogglebox stars breaks down in tears during emotional episode

During tonight's Stand Up To Cancer special, Celebrity Gogglebox stars were left in tears over a heart-wrenching story. The popular show returned to our TV screens for a special episode for Stand Up To Cancer, introducing a new line-up of celebrities relaxing on the sofa.

The Channel 4 charity initiative, in collaboration with Cancer Research UK, enlists TV favourites and celebrities for special episodes aimed at raising funds and awareness. Tonight, viewers saw Frank Skinner, Miriam Margolyes and Kristin Scott Thomas among others, sharing their thoughts on the week's best, worst, and most unusual shows, all from the comfort of their sofas.

However, the mood changed dramatically as the celebrities watched a heart-wrenching story about a father named Glen who found out he had colon cancer after a severe fall. Glen disclosed that the cancer had spread to his blood and could now appear anywhere in his body.

The father of two detailed the heart breaking moment he decided that he wanted to be buried at a cemetery near his children's school so they can visit him whenever they want. It was later revealed that he passed away at the age of 45.

The story left the whole Gogglebox cast and they couldn’t contain their emotions as they were all brought to tears.

Viewers also went straight to social media to share their reaction to the heartbreaking moment. One viewer shared on X, formally known as Twitter: “That's broke me life is so cruel #Gogglebox #CelebrityGogglebox”

Another said: “Usually it's the kid videos that break me. But Glenn's story was brutal; he had it all taken from him so fast. Calling it cruel doesn't do it justice #CelebrityGogglebox.”

A third commented: “45 bro fucking hell that's no life really in modern times. He
