Gogglebox's Jenny and Lee have confirmed when the show will return in the New Year.
The Channel 4 show, where the cast catch up on the week's latest programmes, will bring back familiar faces such as the Sandiford siblings, the Malones and the Warner sisters for its 21st series. The show began in 2013 and has won numerous awards during its run, including two BAFTAs.
Fans were left "gutted" earlier this week after stars Mica Ven and Marcus Luther announced their decision to quit Gogglebox.

Mica said: "We just want to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to @c4Gogglebox for having us for the last 5 years, even though we had to travel so far for filming (downstairs & through the corridor) it was so worth it, it’s been an epic journey! You guys are the bestest of the best.
"We’ve had so much fun with you all tuning in at home & the hardworking Gogglebox crew’s but it’s time to put down the remote and see what else God has in store for us. To everyone that has tuned in & sent us messages of love and encouragement over the years, we appreciate every last one of you.
"Thank you so much. To the amazing cast, you’ll forever be our G’box brothers & sisters 4life." [sic]
On Friday, Jenny and Lee confirmed the Channel 4 programme will be back in February, 2023. In a video on Instagram, filmed from the iconic caravan in Hull, Jenny said: "It's the end of the series, it's been a good'n".
Lee said: "Thank you so much for your support over the year, and for when Jenny was poorly but now she's back on form, totally. Anyway have a lovely Christmas and we'll see you all in February".
Jenny added: "Yes", and Lee asked: "What are you saying 'yes' for?". Jenny said: "'Cause that's when we're coming back. Am I coming back in January? No."
As Lee is now back in Cyprus for Christmas, with long-term partner Steve, it appears the video was filmed before he left the UK.
