Gogglebox favourites Steph and Dom confirm they are leaving Channel 4 show

'It's important that everyone gets their chance to be on Gogglebox'

Gogglebox is one of those Marmite TV shows people either love or hate; the idea of watching other people watch TV being ridiculous to some, entertaining to others.

For those who do enjoy the Channel 4 show, though, the latest family departure will be entirely saddening.

In an interview with The Sun, Steph and Dom - who have been with the show since the first series - confirmed they are “taking a break” from being watched watching TV.

"We think it's important that everyone gets their chance to be on Gogglebox and give their opinion,” the couple told the publication. "Having been on it from the beginning we felt like we'd pretty much said all we needed to say, and we knew what we were going say.”

Despite saying their departure would only be a temporary break, from Steph’s admission, it doesn’t sound like they’re rushing back anytime soon.

She said: “We think it's important that everyone gets their chance to be on Gogglebox and give their opinion. Having been on it from the beginning we felt like we'd pretty much said all we needed to say, and we knew what we were going say.

"I'm so touched that people have been missing us, because I think there are some incredibly funny characters on there so the fact we're missed is quite a big deal for us. We do still watch it and we enjoy the new characters.”
