Ellie and Izzi

Sisters Ellie and Izzi on Gogglebox (Channel 4)

Sisters Ellie and Lizzi are from Leeds and joined the show back in 2015.

The young sisters have said they were initially quite worried when they joined the show that viewers wouldn't be interested in them.

But now, they are one of the most popular pairs on the show and regularly amuse viewers with their back and forth banter and obsession with food.

Giles and Mary

The quirky couple quickly became a hit with viewers for their unique style and interesting comments on the week's television.

Giles amuses viewers with his comments and interpretations of what the couple have been watching and often finishes every remark by saying Mary's name.

The couple's home and sense of style is instantly recognisable, particularly Mary's botanical armchair which matches the wallpaper.

Mary and Marina

Since joining the show in 2016, the pair have quickly become favourites on the show.

Both women are in their 80s and live in a retirement home together in Bristol.

They have become popular for their sense of humour and frank comments about men and relationships, while often getting distracted talking about their love lives.

The Michael family

The family live in Brighton and have been regulars on the show since its beginning, building a loyal fan base.

Currently, the family of five have three regulars on the show - dad Andrew, mum Carolyne and son Louis.

For most filming stints, Louis joins his parents Andrew and Carolyne on the sofa and in earlier years on the show, his sister Alex appeared as well.

Alex's twin, Catheryne, has also made appearances, confusing viewers since the pair occasionally swap and take each other's places.

The Ven family

Having appeared on show since 2018, viewers quickly became enamoured with mum Mica, boyfriend Marcus and her two daughters Sachelle and Shuggy.

The south Londoners joined Gogglebox in series 11 and have become well known for their hilarious comments and outgoing personalities.

Dave and Shirley

David and Shirley have been married for 40 years and have two children together.

They joined the show in 2015 and film from their home in Wales.

They've become popular for their comical and light-hearted bickering.

The Malone family

(Channel 4)

Since joining the show back in series four, The Malone family have become a fan favourite.

They’re known for their blunt, no-nonsense remarks, enviable snack selection and their adorable dogs who aren't camera shy - or aware of how big they are, with Rottweilers often clambering onto the family's laps.

Stephen and others

The couple have since separated. (Channel 4)

The Brighton based hairdresser has been on the show for many years, becoming a fan favourite.

He first appeared on Gogglebox along with his then-boyfriend Chris but the pair split leading to Stephen being joined by his husband Daniel, who first started appearing in 2019.

Stephen has also appeared on the show with his mum, Pat, who he has spoken about many times during his years on the show.
