However, during the show, Erwin made an appearance in front of the cameras as he joined his family to watch a recent reality show The Piano.
Fans of the Channel 4 show took to social media to share their shock to see Erwin appear on the screens after he had not been on the show in years. The toddler had previously appeared on the show as a baby, when Helena had been seen cradling him when he was tiny.
Taking to Twitter one fan said: “I'm sure Helena's wee boy was a tiny baby last I looked! He's so cute. #Gogglebox.”
Another fan added at how fast Erwin was growing, writing: “No I’m sorry I refuse to believe that’s Irvin! [Erwin] Helena was only pregnant not that long ago wth!?,
And another tweeted: “So seems I did not get the memo re Helena's gorgeous boy #normalnicehaircut ??”
Gogglebox star Helena gave birth to Erwin in August 2019. Throughout the years she has granted fans even more access to her life beyond appearing on the Channel 4 show by sharing posts and videos of her home life via social media.
A lot of pictures have shown Helena relaxing at home with her son and surrounded by plants. While Helena has embraced involving her son on Gogglebox, she has previously explained that fans should not expect to see Erwin’s father on-screen.
The star, who joined Gogglebox in 2017, has previously explained that she is private about some aspects of her personal life.
Helena wrote online: “FYI – not that this should matter! I am not 18 I am 29 and my baby does have a father, but I wish to keep that side of my life private.
"If a young woman has children from an accidental pregnancy, they do not deserve to be ****-shamed by anyone especially other women!”
