Gogglebox family explain absence from Channel 4 show after viewers worry they've quit

Gogglebox returned to Channel 4 on Friday, September 9 after a hiatus for the summer. Many of the cast regulars, including Welsh couple Dave and Shirley Griffiths, were back on screens for the new series.

The show went ahead despite many programmes being postponed due to the death of the Queen on Thursday, September 8. However, in a statement a Channel 4 spokesperson said: "Channel 4 has made significant changes to our schedule, including added extended news coverage, to ensure that Channel 4 is respectful following the news from Buckingham Palace about the death of Her Majesty The Queen.

"Channel 4 exists to offer viewers an alternative and that is particularly important at times like this. Gogglebox is a much loved national institution and it will air as planned tonight bringing a valuable sense of continuity for many of our viewers." You can read more on this here.
