Niall Horan and Olly Murs have filmed a celebrity version of U.K. TV show Gogglebox in aid of Stand Up To Cancer.


The One Direction singer and the British popstar, who both found fame on The X Factor U.K., have taken part in an episode of the popular program, in which people give their opinions while watching TV shows.


Niall went to Olly's house to film the segment, which is set to air in the U.K. on Friday (21Oct16).


"Olly and I had a great laugh filming Gogglebox and hope that we can raise as much as possible for such a great cause," Niall said. "With every penny raised going towards finding cures for cancer, we’re honored to be a part of Stand Up to Cancer’s fundraising this year."


"Had some laugh(s) with @ollyofficial doing @C4Gogglebox at ollys house for the @SU2C special. Can't wait to watch it back," he also tweeted.


England soccer stars Jamie Vardy, Daniel Sturridge and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will also take part in the Googlebox celebrity special, which has previously starred Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Noel Gallagher, Geri Horner, Jamie Dornan and Boy George in recent years.


A celebrity version of 1990s game show The Crystal Maze also aired in support of the charity on Sunday (16Oct16).
