Gogglebox fan favourites set to return for special 90-minute episode marking tenth anniversary

Gogglebox is set for a major shake-up as the Channel 4 show marks its 10th anniversary.

The event will see several former stars return to mark the occasion. The hugely popular realty TV series first burst onto our screens back in March, 2013. And now, a decade on, Gogglebox will welcome back fan favourites in a tenth anniversary special.

Gogglebox will air a 90-minute special featuring current and former stars. Channel 4 has described the special 10th anniversary programme as "a chance to look back at our favourite TV from the last decade and also our favourite Goggleboxers with whom we've watched it".

Among those returning to the show are Steph and Dom. The couple left the show to explore other opportunities, later hosting their own show 'Steph and Dom’s One Star to Five star', which saw the B&B owners help others with their expertise.

Steph and Dom have also since appeared in a documentary about epilepsy and cannabis as they discussed their personal link to the condition. Joining Steph and Dom will be Sandi Bogle, a firm favourite who went on to have a successful TV career following her departure from the show.

Sandi has since appeared in Celebs On The Farm, Celebrity 100% Hotter and Celebrity Fat Fighters. In 2016, she released her debut single "Casanova" on DeeVu Records and also has her own album, Independent Woman.

The following year Sandi starred in Celebrity Big Brother she was sixth to be evicted, famously getting kicked out just three days before the grand finale much to the disappointment of fans. In a huge blow to the show Sandi's Gogglebox counterpart, Sandra, also said her goodbyes in 2017. In a tweet following her exit Sandra explained the main reason for her departure, saying: "After Sandi left I missed her so much."

In an interview with the Sun following her departure, Sandra revealed she'd been told by many fans they had "stopped watching Gogglebox because of me (leaving), I hear it every day."

Sandra also admitted that while the show has been 'fun' and 'a laugh' for a while, she eventually began to find it tiresome. She said: "It was easy in-and-out job. But when I watch them doing the show now, I think ‘boring’. You can’t do any other shows.

"That's why me and Sandi, Scarlett (Moffatt), Steph and Dom all left." If you'd like to find out all the gossip from the UK's best-loved television shows you can visit our celebs and TV homepage.
