Earlier this week, the show confirmed that stand-up comedians Rob Delaney and Aisling Bea will also be watching the week's best TV.

Speaking about her upcoming appearance, Aisling said: "I am more than happy to be supporting Stand Up To Cancer, [fighting] a disease which has touched too many people including my loved ones.

"It's especially necessary this year given how much strain health services and workers have been under during the pandemic. It's been a rotten couple of years; I hope what we raise can help take even a small bit of the edge off."
