Some of the stars of Gogglebox have shared some disappointing news with fans ahead of the show's next episode. During the latest show, which aired on Channel 4 on Friday (May 20), viewers saw the families watch clips from The Repair Shop, The Eurovision Song Contest, BBC News and Beat The Chasers.
But in a fresh update, Tom Malone Snr and his wife Julie, who appear on the show alongside son Sean and sometimes daughter Vanessa, revealed this week's episode is the final one in this series. Tom Snr said in a video shared to the couple's joint Instagram page as they donned matching pale blu t-shirts over the weekend.
He said: "We're getting near the end of the series now. Julie is throwing out these big words. I said it's the second to last night, Julie is saying what?"

Julie then chipped in that it was the "penultimate night". Tom Snr then joked: "This is education for you, does nothing does it."
And while their followers were quick to have a giggle at the pair, they were also sharing their disappointment at the popular, Bafta award-winning series coming to an end. @sarajthomas82 said: "No I can't believe it's nearly the end of the series. Friday night is Gogglebox night."
@matthewsoakell cried out: "Hate it when Gogglebox is no longer on on a Friday night."
@rach_1609_ commented: "I bloody love you pair!!!! This show should never end my Friday nights revolve around gogglebox!!!"

@melaniejp64 added: "Already no hope we don't have to wait to long for the next series love you all."
The Malones' fellow Gogglebox stars Abbie Lynn and Georgia Bell also confirmed they were finishing up filming on the hit show. Sharing a boomerang of the pair to her Instagram Story, Abbie said: "Last one of the series let's goooo."
Georgia, who is expecting her first child, also echoed Abbie's post on her own page, writing: "Filming the last ep of the series."
The show first aired in March 2013 and has been one of Channel 4's most successful shows, leading to several spin-offs including a celebrity version. Among the regulars on the programme include Leeds sisters Ellie and Izzi Warner, who first appeared in 2015.
