LGBT Ally Ben Cohen is to star in tonight's episode of The Cube on ITV1. Ben's foundation, the StandUp Foundation fights to make bullying a thing of the past. It was started after his father was savagely killed.

Speaking to TheGayUK in an interview in 2012, Ben Cohen said, 'Basically, the road to where I am today, in many different respects is because, I got a phone call on Friday the 13th of all days and my dad had basically been beaten within an inch of his life protecting someone at a nightclub my brother owned. To cut a very long story short, he died a month later of his injuries. Stand Up day is now on November 14th, the day my dad died.

'The day I announced that I was doing a cause, my fan page went up by 10,000 people instantly so the support is there and it’s needed because there is nobody else doing this. Having a cause and being nice to look at is a bonus really. It’s not about supporting me as a sex symbol, it’s about supporting the cause.'

Ben Cohen is also well loved for his Underwear and Calendar shoots.

Philip Schofield is presenting the show, which is on from 9PM.
