Gogglebox has churned out a slew of new generation of household names, but for one member of the cast, stardom was within arm's reach before he even appeared on the show.
Tristan Plummer appears on the hit Channel 4 show alongside his brothers, Tremaine and Twaine, and has done since 2016.
The trio, known as 'The Three Ts' are beamed into the nation's living rooms from the comfort of their own sofa, and have become a favourite amongst fans.

But what some fans do not know is that Tristan was once being eyed up by Arsenal due to his sporting talents.
The 31-year-old came up through the Robins Academy, and was highly-rated with Arsenal thought to be interested in his talents before he signed a professional contract in 2007.
A former Bristol City starlet, Tristan was loaned out to a number of clubs - Torquay United, Hereford United, Luton Town, and Gillingham - before being released by City.
A move to Portimonense in Portugal followed before he signed for Hereford United where he helped them win promotion to Southern League Premier Division.
In 2018, Tristan was signed to Frome Town, but left the following year as, in July 2019, Bitton announced that he had joined the club.
But Tristan is not the only footballer in the family - his older brother, Dwayne, began his career as a trainee for Bristol City, and then turned professional in September 1995, around the age of 17.
Playing for a range of clubs, including Chesham United and Stevenage Borough, he joined Bristol Rovers in September 1995, and scored the winning penalty that booted Premier League Everton out of the League Cup later that month.
Dwayne also went partially international - he represented the Cayman Islands in a 5-0 friendly defeat to American club side D.C. United, but was unable to play for them in a full international as FIFA ruled that he did not meet eligibility requirements.
