“It was so worth it, it’s been an epic journey! You guys are the bestest of the best. To the amazing cast, you’ll forever be our G’box brothers & sisters 4life.”

They added: “And lastly, To all our Yardie 🇯🇲 friends & family that always big us up to whoever will listen, when you’re chatting about our departure, the program’s called GOGGLEBOX not GOOOOOGLEbox, it’s not a damn search engine. We love youuuuuuu.”
