“I couldn’t see myself just coming home every week and eating a takeaway and doing that for the rest of my life.
“There’s so much more I wanted to do, that’s why we ended up leaving.”
The family took to Instagram to share a statement with fans at the time of their departure in 2022.
They penned: “After 3 incredible seasons on Channel 4’s Gogglebox we have taken the decision to leave the show.

“We have loved every second of being part of the Gogglebox family and it’s truly been the opportunity of a lifetime.
“With lots of exciting opportunities approaching us all, we just couldn’t commit to filming another series, but are so grateful for the opportunity.
“Thank you for all your support whilst we have been on the show and over on TikTok. We hope that you’re as excited as we are for what’s coming next!”
