Josh and Tamsin: Hollywood Couple Bring Star Power to Celebrity Gogglebox
Hollywood Stars Take to the Sofa
Josh Hartnett and Tamsin Egerton are taking part in this year’s Gogglebox for Stand up to Cancer goes Hollywood!, potentially some of the most high-profile stars to have been involved with the hit Channel 4 show in its 12-year history. The celebrity couple’s appearance on the beloved British television show marks a significant moment as Hollywood glamour meets homegrown entertainment. Oppenheimer star Josh Hartnett will be watching the best of the week’s TV alongside wife and St Trinian’s star Tamsin Egerton.
A Shared Love for British Television
The couple’s participation isn’t simply a publicity stunt—they’re genuine fans of the show. “We first started watching Gogglebox during lockdown in 2020 – I found it so comforting seeing other families around the country watching TV ‘with’ us,” Tamsin said. “It’s such a great cross-section of the UK, and ever since then Josh and I have tried to watch it together whenever we can.” Hartnett added: “Tamsin introduced me to Gogglebox many years ago and I’ve been a fan ever since.”
Supporting Stand Up To Cancer
Josh and Tamsin’s appearance serves an important charitable purpose. The special episode will be airing as part of Channel 4’s campaign for Stand Up To Cancer. “Getting to watch TV together, almost certainly say something we’ll regret, and support such an important cause feels like the perfect start to the holiday season,” Hartnett said. Stand Up To Cancer is a joint national fundraising campaign from Cancer Research UK and Channel 4 which aims to speed up progress in life-saving cancer research, raising more than £113 million to date.
Life Away from the Spotlight
The Celebrity Gogglebox star shared that they had quietly welcomed a fourth child in February 2024. The couple are raising their children in the English countryside, having settled down in Hampshire after leaving Los Angeles many years ago. The couple have been married since 2021 and share four kids. Their appearance on Celebrity Gogglebox offers fans a rare glimpse into the dynamic between two actors who’ve successfully balanced Hollywood careers with a private family life in the UK.
