Liam Gallagher and his Irish mam Peggy were the stars of Celebrity Gogglebox last night

Tea and biscuits all round.

A VERY SPECIAL Gogglebox aired on Channel 4 last night – packed with celebrities there to raise awareness for the station’s Stand Up To Cancer initiative.

It was quite the line-up: Jeremy Corbyn, Jessica Hynes, Liam Gallagher, Freddie Flintoff, Jamie Redknapp, Ed Sheeran, Big Narstie, Example and Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne.

So many people were excited just to see Liam Gallagher watching telly with his son Gene and his Irish mam Peggy

It started with them making a family cup of tea, and everyone knew they were in for the most wholesome night

Peggy was very aware that Gene’s new stirring technique was just for the cameras:

Where did you learn that Gene?

University Challenge was one of the first shows up, and Liam was actually so proud when Gene got three answers right

That’s good going.

A family chat later in the episode revealed that Liam can’t swim, Peggy (originally from Mayo) is an expert in the pool and that she’s recently recovered from knee surgery. So her son suggested she could be on Strictly next:

“I wouldn’t go that far Liam”

Shows like Nigella Lawson and Blue Planet came and went, and then a special insert for Stand Up To Cancer was played in full.

It was called “Eve’s Story”, and it was heartbreaking

It was followed by “Annalesha’s Story” – a short documentary about a woman’s breast cancer diagnosis

It all got a bit much for the Gallaghers, and Liam dragged Gene into him for the most affectionate little headlock

In fact, it was the Gallagher family that went down as the most genuine and entertaining all night

People could see that this wasn’t just a set up for the cameras like some of the other stars

Having his no nonsense Irish mam helped a lot

Liam seemed… different with Peggy there

Even skeptics were being won over

Imagine this on a weekly basis

Only yesterday Liam revealed that his mam loved the Gogglebox experience, even though she played hard to get when the idea was pitched

The sisters would have got a shock seeing her pop up.
