Who's on The Last Leg: Re-United Kingdom and what can viewers expect?

Various members of warring political parties will appear on the show and be encouraged to put their differences aside in a "celebrity-filled street party".

Former political rivals Ed Balls and Michael Gove are two of the names who will come together for a good cause.

The Strictly Come Dancing hero and former Labour MP is set to show off his moves and give Environment Secretary Michael Gove a hands-on dance lesson, recreating his viral performance of Gangnam Style.

Viewers can also expect to see some very long and vicious feuds between celebs finally put to bed.

It's all in the name of Jo Cox's inspiring work to promote "community cohesion and tolerance" when she was MP for Batley and Spen in West Yorkshire.
