Googlebox fans are left disappointed but also excited in equal measures to learn that TV favourite Tom Malone Jr had taken the plunge and moved in with his girlfriend Bryony Briscoe.
The 27-year-old professional dancer teased with a Twitter post last week, that the pair were taking their romance to the next level but has since confirmed with a celebratory post that they have settled in.
In the cosy “new beginnings” picture, he and his model girlfriend can be seen perched on the sofa, both sporting matching tie dyed loungewear – but in different colours.
Setting the mood with a lit candle that was nestled on a side table, the couple sipped on bubbles and raised a glass to their new abode.

It is unknown exactly how long Tom Jr and the fashion model have been dating but the couple finally decided to go public back in July this year, wowing fans of the Channel 4 show with a loved-up snap.
Just five months later, they have shown their commitment to each other and decided to take their relationship to the next phase.
The move will no doubt leave fans on edge as to whether or not Tom Jr will continue to be a firm fixture on Googlebox, alongside his dad Tom senior, mum Julie, brother Shaun and their four Rottweiler dogs.

Viewers of the show will be especially nervous after Tom recently hinted that he would be open to leaving the show, should another opportunity arise.
Speaking in a now-deleted Instagram Live Tom said: “If the opportunity was good enough then yeah 100% we [one of the family] would leave but I think the rest of us would be able to stay on Gogglebox.”
It seems that due to legalities surrounding the television reviewing programme, it won’t be possible for Bryony to also join the Malone family in their home, at this stage.

Tom went on: “Because of contracts and stuff, unfortunately, you won’t see my girlfriend on the show, but yeah we do forget we are filming.”
Back in 2014, the dancer shot to fame alongside his family when they took to their leather sofa to discuss current affairs and the latest TV series from the comfort of their own home.
The Malone family quickly became some of the favourite stars of Gogglebox due to their quick witted humour on the show and their adorable dogs, mainly Dave.
Hailing from Manchester, the Malone’s are known for always having a bowl full of snacks in front of them, but seemingly never eating them.
Tom and Julie have two other older children – a son and daughter – who do not appear on the show with them.
