Gogglebox's Julie Malone makes rare public declaration of love to husband Tom Malone

Gogglebox star Julie Malone declared her love for husband Tom Malone in a tribute this week ahead of the latest series.

The couple have appeared on the Channel 4 programme for eight years, alongside their children and dogs - having become much loved cast members since joining in 2014.

The family, who live in Manchester, are among the line-up on the new series of the popular reality show, which returned last night following a break in filming last month.

And ahead of its highly-anticipated return, Julie had shared a heartfelt post about her husband Tom with their 168,000 followers on Instagram earlier this week.

Alongside a selfie of the couple, she wrote in the caption of the post: "30+ years and he's still my Valentine, my rock, my pain in the butt. Thanks for all you do for us Tom."

It received almost 10,000 likes, with a number of followers taking to the comments section to express well-wishes to the couple, who have four children.

"Beautiful photo of you both," wrote one fan, whilst another commented on the post: "Love you guys." Another said: "You are a lovely couple. Hope you had a lovely Valentine's Day."

The couple have been joined by their children Shaun Malone, Vanessa Malone and Tom Malone Jr. over the years on Gogglebox. Eldest child Lee Malone hasn't yet taken part.

Tom Jr. announced his departure from the show last year. He shared the news in a post on social media, in which he revealed that he was looking to pursue other opportunities.

He said: "It's finally time to put down the remote and to say goodbye to Gogglebox. I've loved every minute [...] but new opportunities are knocking on the door."

"I look forward to enjoying the show as a viewer and not having to worry about having said something stupid. PS. don't worry my family will still be on the show," he added.

Teasing the new series yesterday, a post on the family's account said that they were "getting the prosecco and posh crisps ready" for the first episode of the latest instalment.

Julie, Tom, Shaun and Vanessa feature in the new series, alongside other participants including Jenny Newby, Lee Riley, Mica Ven, Martin Luther, Izzi Warner and Ellie Warner.

The first episode of the new series saw the participants react to several recent episodes of TV shows including the Masked Singer, Trigger Point and Dragons' Den.
