Gogglebox makes a return to TV this weekend - here is all we know so far

The nation's favourite TV-watching TV show is back, as Gogglebox makes a return to our screens this weekend, with plenty of familiar faces set to reappear.

Entertainment editor Ria Hebden previewed the show on Lorraine this morning, asking the question everybody is thinking: "You know, who would have ever thought that a show about people watching telly, would be so captivating?"

The show is set to make a spectacular comeback, with fan favourites Jenny and Lee and married couple Stephen and Daniel among the confirmed stars.
