If you’re a fan of the programme you would have come to love the posh couple who have been regulars on the Channel 4 show since it started back in 2013.

Speaking about their departure, Steph said “We think it’s important that everyone gets their chance to be on Gogglebox and give their opinion, and having been on it from the beginning we felt like we’d pretty much said all we needed to say, and we knew what we were going to say. We’ve decided to take a break from it.”
Although the couple have stated they are merely ‘taking a break’ and haven’t actually quit the show, it doesn’t seem like they are in a hurry to return.
Adding that they don’t have a lot of time due to ‘other projects’, Steph said, “We’ve got other projects and not a lot of time. We’re very busy and filming at the hotel was pretty tough. I’m so touched that people have been missing us, because I think there are some incredibly funny characters on there so the fact we’re missed is quite a big deal for us.”
