Gogglebox return date confirmed by show boss who admits difficulty of lockdown episodes

Gogglebox will return to TV screens on September 11, the show's boss has confirmed.

The celeb version of hit series ended earlier this month while the regular format was last on air back in May.

But viewers of the award winning show won't have to wait too much longer for their weekly fix as the show's boss has revealed on Twitter that Gogglebox will resume in September.

Tania Alexander penned: "Huge THANK YOU for your kind messages re # Gogglebox and #CelebrityGogglebox.

"It really wasn’t easy getting this show to air every week during lockdown but ur support made it ALL worth it."

She went on: "Big shout out to the cast from both shows. AND my amazing team. See y’all on Sept 11th."

It's set to be business as usual for the Channel 4 show which was affected by the lockdown measures imposed by Boris Johnson in March.

Some regular contestants were forced to temporarily withdraw from the show while others had to take steps to ensure they were following new social distancing rules.

Fan favourites Jenny and Lee moved in together for nine weeks so they could continue featuring on Gogglebox.

The hilarious duo joked about their new living arrangement in one episode, with Jenny asking "Just think Lee, what are you going to do when I go home?

"I'll miss you when I go home. Have you bought me a leaving present?"

Lee replied: "Yeah. A f****** suitcase."

Jenny then responded: “Well I’ll miss you but you just don’t like admitting it.”

Then Lee said: “I f***** won’t."

Laughing, he then added that he "couldn't wait" to get rid of her.
