We've only just witnessed a mini One Direction reunion when Liam Payne joined his friend Louis Tomlinson at The X Factor Judges' Houses stage, but now fans are going to see the pair reunite once again... this time on the celebrity edition of Gogglebox!
The One Direction pair will appear on a very special edition of the programme for Channel 4's Stand Up To Cancer on Friday 26th October. Taking to Instagram to announce the news, 'Strip That Down' singer Liam shared a snap of the pair on the sofa, writing, 'Tune into @channel4 on Friday night from 7pm to watch me and @louist91 on #gogglebox for #StandUpToCancer. It’s for a cause that’s close to our hearts, so please give it a watch and donate ❤️'. [sic]
Clearly delighted at the news, fans of the pair were quick to express their excitement, with the snap getting over one million likes in just a few hours. One user wrote, 'I am so happy!', with another adding, 'I LOVE YOU GUYS'.
