The popular Malone family from Gogglebox have revealed why they'd been missing from the show as it returns to TV screens. Fans had been concerned as to where they had gone.
The Malones consist of dad, Tom, mum Julie, daughter Vanessa and son, Shaun. They have been regulars on the Channel 4 show since 2014.
Since then the Manchester-based family have become favourites with fans excited to see them each week. However, as the show returned for the latest series last week the family were nowhere to be seen, The Liverpool Echo says.
Now they have broken their silence as they have given an update on their future on the show.

Taking to Instagram, the family posted a clip explaining where they were. Tom, Julie, Shaun and Vanessa were all seen standing in front of the famous dome at Disney's Epcot as they said they were enjoying a break away.
It seemed they had just been too busy riding rollercoasters to be judging the week's roundup of TV. Speaking to the camera, Tom said: "Right here we are, on holiday. It doesn't feel like one with all this lot, I can tell you that."
He added: "We're in Florida so we're not there for the first couple of shows are we? Starting Friday (September 9). We're here obviously - as you can tell behind us the Menai Bridge, we're in Anglesey. You know... it's a bit of a drive back but we'll do our best."
Julie joked: "I thought it was Blackpool Tower?" Tom said: "I stand corrected... Blackpool Tower. See you in a couple of weeks. Enjoy the show, it starts without us but we'll be back soon."
Fans urged the family to "hurry back" as they were missing them. Carol said: "Missed you on Gogglebox. Hurry back."
Boyd said: "Thank goodness!! We panicked last night that you weren’t going to be in it anymore…" Meanwhile, Lou said: "Thanks for clearing that up!! Did wonder!"
Goggleboxairs on Friday nights at 9pm on Channel 4.
