Channel 4's hit fly-on-the-wall TV critic show Gogglebox returns tonight, February 18, and fans will recognise some much-loved faces.
Fan-favourites Jenny and Lee will be returning, and London-based Mica and Marcus, who joined Gogglebox in 2018, will be making a comeback.
But one familiar face who will be missing from the first episode is Stephen Webb.
The hairdresser from Brighton, 50, will be missing from the first show. Stephen usually appears on the show with his partner Daniel Lustig.
Why is Stephen Webb missing from Gogglebox?
Stephen Webb is missing the first episode of Gogglebox after testing positive for Covid-19.
He posted a message to the crow of Gogglebox on Instagram, as fans rushed to support him.
Wearing a baseball cap, grey jumper and stripy socks, he said: "Hello, this is a message to the Gogglebox crew. Good luck filming this week.
"I can't wait to see you Friday. I need a laugh desperately. We can't film this week because I've got Covid."
He then showed his fans the "little room" he's been isolating in, with a "tiny little bed" and "little bathroom".
He captioned the post: "Gogglebox Back this Friday C4 9pm, gutted we won't be back for episode 1. Looking forward to seeing everyone."
Will Stephen Webb return on Gogglebox?
It's likely that Stephen and Daniel will be back as normal next week, as long as they are both well and free from Covid.
Gogglebox co-star Elli Warner said: "Hope to see you back very soon! Get well soon."
While Dave and Shirley replied: "It's a nightmare isn't [it] Stephen, but it's a break for Daniel," followed by a couple of crying-with-laughter emojis.
Stephen also shared an image from Valentine's Day, where Stephen and Daniel still appeared to be separated by glass.
"Love is your husband cooking you valentines lunch @lustig75," he captioned the snap.
Stephen has been a regular on the show since series one, but was only joined by his husband two years ago.
They live in Brighton together along with their dogs.
Stephen and Daniel tied the knot at the Chateau de Lisse in Lot-et-Garonne In France in July 2018, after getting engaged in 2016.
Gogglebox returns tonight, February 18, at 9pm on Channel 4.
