Gogglebox favourite Mica has thanked fans for their response as she took a break from social media following a family tragedy. Mica and Marcus Luther explained the heartbreaking situation on Instagram.
Mica said: "To everyone that has sent love, prayers, concern, well wishes and condolences to our family, on behalf of Marky & I we thank you. I Hope you all have a blessed Day and remember to enjoy each other, blow the dust off them board games, catch some joke, life and memories are so precious."
Marcus explained there had been a recent death in the family: "As most of you may already know, I have had a bereavement in my family. As a result, the gym will be closed today. Both children and adult sessions are cancelled whilst my family celebrate the life of our loved one."

The couple have been well loved on the show since their first appearance in 2018. Their obviously loving relationship and hilarious commentary has proven popular with fans who can't seem to get enough of the pair.
In a recent interview, Marcus revealed it hadn't all been smooth sailing - Mica 'wasn't interested' when he first approached his now long-time partner. He said: "She was doing this thing called Alpha Course, so I signed up for it, too, but then she tried to set me up with some other girls from the course. She wasn’t interested."
He then explained how he won her over with his humour, and was soon popping round for Bible study with a bottle of wine. It was allowed, Marcus reportedly told her, because Jesus drank wine.
Recalling the beginning of their relationship, Mica said: "He turned up to mine one night to do Bible study with a bottle of wine. We were sitting opposite each other and I’m thinking ‘Footsy? Wine? We’re supposed to be doing Bible study here!’ He told me it was fine because Jesus drank wine."
