Joe, who is best known as The Inbetweener’s Simon Cooper, has since appeared in several other comedies including White Gold and Pleb
‘The dozen celebrities come from incredibly different backgrounds – whether it’s ballroom dancing, singing, sport or interior design. They’ll each bring something to the mix.
‘None of the choices are obvious – particularly not Steph and Joe, neither of whom have been on our screens in some time.’
It will mark Steph’s first TV appearance since her show Steph’s Packed Lunch was axed in October, with the broadcaster citing it didn’t match its ‘digital-first strategy’.
Steph wiped away tears as she bid a final farewell to her show during its final episode, which aired on December 8.
The Channel 4 daytime show was axed after three years amid a slew of cancellations with the broadcaster reportedly battling to cut costs amid financial challenges.
But her fans will no doubt be delighted to welcome her back to screens during her upcoming appearance on the streaming platform’s new show.
Joe, who is best known as The Inbetweener’s Simon Cooper, has since appeared in several other comedies including White Gold and Pleb.
The Inbetweeners aired between 2008 and 2010 and later spawned spin-off films in 2011 and 2014.
