In December Sophie and Pete delivered the news that the hit series, which launched in 2013, was drawing to a close for the year. They posed on their side-by-side on the sofa as Sophie wrote on Instagram on December 9: "Last one of the series."

Thankfully fans don't have long to wait long until the show is back on their screens again. Fellow fan favourites Jenny Newby and Lee Riley confirmed in a Christmas message that the show would be returning for a new series in February.

Gogglebox fans sent their congratulations to two of the show's stars last series as they revealed they are expecting new additions to their families. Ellie Warner, who appears on the show with sister Izzi, announced she was expecting her first child with long-term partner Nat Eddleston, while dad-of-one Pete revealed his wife Paige Yeomans is also pregnant again.

Pete and Sophie were sitting on the sofa with Pete's son Jimmy when they discussed Paige's pregnancy with their second child. Pete told his son: "Jimbers, you're going to have a little brother or sister coming. You're going to have to milk it."

Sophie, who was holding her nephew on her knee, added: "You’re going to be a big brother." Paige, an emergency services call handler, married Pete in May 2021, and the couple welcomed baby Jimmy in September that year.
