Gogglebox stars Marcus and Mica join hit TV show weeks after quitting Channel 4 show

Gogglebox fan favourites Mica Venna and Marcus Luther have shared with fans exciting details on the new television show they were filming after quitting the Channel 4 hit.

The couple announced in a statement that they would be leaving the armchair critic Channel 4 series after five years as one of viewers’ favourite families.

Mica and Marcus have now shared details of the hit BBC show they have now been filming for, months after bowing out of Gogglebox.

The couple featured in a backstage video at the filming of the hit teatime quiz Pointless Celebrities.

Marcus posed in their dressing room before the pair filmed in the studio, as he said: "So guys we are going on game show - but we are feeling extremely dunce in here right now.

"It's general knowledge but we ain't got nothing general about our knowledge. I'm in here feeling dunce like I don't even know my name anymore.”

Mica asked: "What's the capital of England?” and he paused before laughing: "You see what I'm saying? It's the pressure. I nearly said Japan.

"This is immense boy. It's a lot, but do you know what, Meesh? It's the taking point that counts.”

She replied: "It's embarrassing the ends also that counts."

He laughed, signing off: "Bloody hell. Here goes guys, wish me luck."

The pair are on the show raising funds for the African Caribbean Leukaemia Trust Charity (ACLT).

Marcus and Mica shocked Gogglebox fans when they announced they were leaving to pursue other things beyond the show.

In a statement, they explained: “We’ve had so much fun with you all tuning in at home and the hardworking Gogglebox crew 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.”
