LONDON -- There was a special celebrity episode of Gogglebox on Channel 4 Friday night in support of Stand Up To Cancer, with stars like Boy George, Nick Frost and Miranda Hart settling in for a night of watching Britain's favourite TV shows.

However, it was 50 Shades of Grey star Jamie Dornan who dominated (pun intended) the conversation. Dornan joined pal and fellow British star Frost to watch British favourites such as Strictly Come Dancing and the brilliant BBC One production Dr Foster.

Despite all our favourite regulars (shout out to Scarlett) tuning in as usual, everybody seemed extremely distracted by Dornan’s presence. Let's just say, the nation has spoken and the nation is happy to watch him watching TV for the rest of its life.

Dornan’s, you know, average looking right?

So, we're all agreed that Jamie Dornan is about average looking, right? #Gogglebox #StandUpToCancer— Channel 4 (@Channel4) October 9, 2015

I mean, nothing out of the ordinary?

Because TV, pizza, beer and Jamie's laugh is magical. #JamieDornan #GoggleBox #Channel4 pic.twitter.com/dehFgXm2vl— Jamie Dornan EJD (@EverythingJDcom) October 10, 2015

Our favourite moment came courtesy of Dornan’s extreme suspicion of "London cats".

Cats are up to something, clearly, but Jamie Dornan is on to them... Celebrity #Gogglebox, 9pm. https://t.co/8ZNiIoYcQM— Channel 4 (@Channel4) October 9, 2015

#Gogglebox is putting me through SO many emotions tonight. And most of them are related to Jamie Dornan's arms.— Emily (@emilyhastings_) October 9, 2015

But best of all was Dornan’s excitement at seeing singer Daniel O’Donnell, which was admittedly adorable.
