The show kicks off this summer and Jimmy and Tony are the latest big names to have signed up for it.
Produced by BBC Studios Entertainment, celebs have allowed Alison and the cameras into their lives to show the public what they are really like.
A telly insider has now exclusively told The Sun that 8 Out Of 10 Cats host Jimmy and boxer Tony, who appeared on last year's I'm A Celeb, will be appearing on Big Weekend.
"Jimmy is a huge name for the show, especially as he’s so private about his home life," the insider said.

"If anyone can get him to open up, it’s Alison.
"And Tony was a huge fan favourite on I’m A Celeb and will get on like a house on fire with Alison."
The Sun revealed last week that Alison has already got some other popular names on board.
They include Dracula Untold actor Luke Evans and singers Perrie Edwards and Spice Girl Mel B.

Big Weekend is promised to offer a candid insight into their lives, with an insider saying: "[Alison] literally moves in with them and then gets under their skin and sees what makes them tick.
"Perrie’s fans, for example, have never really seen her at home and it will be a really revealing watch.

“She talks a lot about her life in Little Mix and the transition from that to motherhood and then launching a solo career.
“It’s the same with Luke, who is a genuinely big acting star.
“No one would have guessed he’d ever sign up for something like this.
“Luke’s fans only know him for his on-screen work, so to have Alison probing him with questions in his own home is something no one has seen before. They really are both amazing signings.”
