The Baggs family have announced they are quitting Gogglebox after just three series.

Dad Terry, mum Lisa and sons Joe and George, from Essex, joined the popular Channel 4 show in 2020. Posting to oldest son Joe's Instagram account, the family announced their departure from the programme.

In a joint statement, the family teased that it wouldn't be the last we see of them on TV. They claimed to have lots of "exciting opportunities" heading their way.

The statement in full read: "Hey everyone! Wanted to give you a quick update on the Baggs family.

"After 3 incredible seasons on Channel 4’s Gogglebox we have taken the decision to leave the show. We have loved every second of being part of the Gogglebox family and it’s truly been the opportunity of a lifetime."

They added: "With lots of exciting opportunities approaching for us all, we just couldn’t commit to filming another series but are so grateful for the opportunity. Thank you for all of your support whilst we have been on the show and over on TikTok.

"We hope that you’re as excited as we are for what’s coming next! Much love, The Baggs."

Fellow cast member Ellie Warner shared her support for the family. She wrote: " All the best to you guys" followed by three love heart emojis.

Fans were sad to see them go and also took to the comments. Issy said: " My angels, won’t be the same without you! On to bigger and better."

Charlene said: "Nooooooo!!!! One of my faves from the show . But to be honest you’re more entertaining over on Tiktok. I hope you guys leaving means there’s a possibility of your own show coming." Kianna said: "Gonna miss you all. Favourite family on Gogglebox."
