Gogglebox has revealed four new cast members in the latest episode.

Tonight's (October 4) show saw married couple Michael and Sally, plus their sons Harry and Jake, appear on the couch for the first time, with the family hailing from Kent.

Fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their excitement at the new additions, with one writing: "NEW PEOPLE!!!!"

"New family alert!" another added, while a third commented: "We have a new family on the sofas on gogglebox."

The new family are the first cast additions on the show this year following mother and son duo Elaine and Seb's arrival last year.

The pair notably joined the Channel 4 show a week after Stephen Webb and Daniel Lustig announced their departure after spending 10 and four years on the couch, respectively. The couple later confirmed their divorce in April.

Tonight's instalment of Gogglebox saw the cast test their knowledge with Only Connect and tune into the romance on Fred Sirieix's dating series First Dates.

Viewers also saw the professional telly watchers catch up on Strictly Come Dancing, Emily in Paris and Phillip Schofield's TV comeback Cast Away.

The series, which is currently airing on Channel 5, sees the former This Morning presenter spend 10 days in isolation on a remote island off Madagascar.

During his time on the island, Schofield told cameras that being in isolation had forced him to "revisit the past and come to some big decisions" about his future.

"I don't think I want to do [TV] anymore," he explained. "Look, I love telly. I've got telly in my bones. But I won't sit on a sofa again, I'm not going to do that again."

Gogglebox airs and streams on Channel 4.
