Gogglebox is one of those shows that has truly lifted our spirits over the last few months. Along with I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, Strictly Come Dancing and the Great British Bake Off among others, telly shows have been a weird source of comfort throughout 2020!

Fans of Gogglebox may have initially thought it was a slightly odd concept to begin with, but now we tune in every Friday evening, looking forward to seeing the families giving their commentary as though they're our actual friends.

One of the fan-favourite families is the Malone family, who have appeared on the show since 2014, with their delicious-looking cakes, excitable Rottweiler dogs and brilliant facial expressions.

Now, the Malones have shared a hilarious throwback of mum and dad Julie and Tom - and although Julie looks pretty much exactly the same, Tom looks VERY different... Sporting hair AND a moustache!

Sharing the photo on their family Twitter page, the family wrote, 'Back in the day!' along side the snap, which has had over 8,000 likes!

Although their looks may have changed a little, it's brilliant to see that Tom Sr is still reacting to Julie in much the same way as he does now! 😂

Fans couldn't believe how different Tom looked, with many taking to the comments to join in the fun. One wrote, 'Wow Tom takes after Julie and Shaun looks like Tom senior,' whilst another added, 'Fantastic! Always good for a blast from the past pic! You guys are so entertaining. Thank you for keeping us all smiling through 2020.'
