Gogglebox family announces exit from Channel 4 show after three series due to work commitments

The Baggs family have confirmed they are quitting Channel 4's Gogglebox due to work commitments. Dad Terry, mum Lisa and sons Joe and George, from Essex, were welcomed onto the hit TV show back in 2020, but have now made the decision to leave after just three series.

Eldest son Joe announced the family's departure from the programme on his Instagram account on Tuesday (May 31), teasing that it 'wouldn't be the last we see of them on TV'. He also claimed they have lots of "exciting opportunities" coming their way.

In the joint statement online, Joe said: "Hey everyone! Wanted to give you a quick update on the Baggs family. After three 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."

He continued: "With lots of exciting opportunities approaching for us all, we just couldn’t commit to filming another series but are so grateful for the opportunity. Thank you for all of 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! Much love, The Baggs."

Many fans flocked to the comment section to react to the news, with many sad to see them go. Fellow Gogglebox star Ellie Warner wrote: "All the best to you guys" with four heart emojis.
