Tom Jr had starred on Gogglebox since 2014 alongside his dad Tom Sr, mum Julie and brother Shaun.

Announcing that he'd quit last year, he shared a snap of himself holding up a sign that read: "Back on the market. Get at me with any TV work".

He wrote: "So after 6 and a half years it’s finally time to put down the remote, and to say goodbye to Gogglebox.

"I've loved every minute and I’m eternally grateful to @channel4 and @studiolambert for allowing me to be a part of the show. But new opportunities are knocking on the door and it’s time to explore them."

He continued: "I look forward to enjoying the show as a viewer and not having to worry about having said something stupid [laughing emoji]".
