Gogglebox has confirmed two new cast members in the latest episode, with Elaine and Seb making their debut on the Channel 4 show.

The latest instalment saw the cast watch a variety of genres, ranging from nature programmes to Elisabeth Olsen’s new drama Love & Death, with Welcome to Wrexham and the new ITV reality show My Mum, Your Dad also being the subject of debate.
Elaine and Seb's arrival comes just a week after Stephen Webb and Daniel Lustig announced their departure from the show, with the pair calling time on their decade-long stint.
"feel the time is right to move on and explore other opportunities," they said in a statement. "We would both like to thank Channel 4 and Studio Lambert for letting us be part of this amazing, funny and heartwarming show."

"Just to say thank you for all your love and support over the years, it really has meant a lot. It's been an absolute ride and absolute pleasure."
Gogglebox airs and streams on Friday nights at 9pm on Channel 4.
