Channel 4 Gogglebox stars leave fans delighted as they confirm show return date

Gogglebox stars the Siddiqui's had a big update for fans of the hit show. It's been months since the last series of the Channel 4 favourite came to an end with the much-loved armchair critics taking a break from dishing their thoughts and opinions on the latest TV shows and breaking news events.

But after a special festive episode of the Christmas period, the likes of the Siddiqui's, the Malone's, sisters Izzi and Ellie Warner and sibling duo Sophie and Pete Sandiford haven't been seen on-screen.

That is, however, all set to change as it has been revealed that Gogglebox is now just days away from returning for another run. At the end of December fan favourite stars Jenny Newby and Lee Riley confirmed that the series will be back on our screens in February.

In a video, Jenny addressed fans, saying: "It's the end of the series, it's been a good'n." Lee added: "Thank you so much for your support over the year, and for when Jenny was poorly but now she's back on form, totally. Anyway have a lovely Christmas and we'll see you all in February."

But now, the Siddiqui's have taken to Instagram to confirm that they returned to filming on Friday (February 17) with Gogglebox back on our screens next week, Friday, February 24. "The count down is on…..first day back filming today," they penned alongside a photo of dad Sid and his two sons Baasit and Umar sat around their TV.

They then asked: "Are you ready to see our mugs on your screen again next week??" And fans were quick to share their joy over the news. @paulacivers said: "Cannot wait, missed you guys you're like family." @lkeay5906 replied: "I cannot wait !!!! We’ve been watching past series to keep us going."

@hulalulatallulahoop commented: "Yay!!! it'll be good to see you all again next week!" @shelleyj295 wrote: "Best programme in telly, best and funniest family on best programme on telly!! Welcome back guys." @miamazalt shared: "Yessss. Can't wait,love you guys and the gogglebox family." @michaelrunningman added: "Can't wait wahoo."

There will, however, be a couple of people missing from the new series. Fans were left gutted last month after stars Mica Ven and Marcus Luther announced their decision to quit the show to pursue new opportunities. It has not yet been revealed whether a new family will join the cast to replace them.
