Gogglebox places families and friends in front of the television and films their reactions, becoming one of Channel 4's most successful ever productions. The most recent series of Gogglebox started in February with a bang, as more than five million people tuned in to see the cast react to The Masked Singer, First Dates: Valentine's, Dragons' Den and Dancing on Ice.
An important part of the show's rise has been the knack of getting the perfect cast. Rather than advertising for people to come on TV, producers went out into the streets to scout individuals suitable for the programme, the successful candidates being naturally funny without desperately wanting to become famous.
Beloved couple Leon and June were found in a bridge club, while Stephen and Chris were discovered in a hair salon. In later series, recruiters visited random houses and held up a card of the Prime Minister or a Daily Mail headline and waited for their reactions. Over the show's 19 series, many families have come and gone and here is what some are doing now, Leicestershire Live reports.
