It is said they are keen to move on and have “no plans” to go back.

An insider told the Daily Star: “The Tapper family was part of Gogglebox for five years and they loved it. But they don’t have any plans to return. They have moved on.

“They have some ­exciting things in the pipeline that they want to focus on. They have a lot coming up this year.”

Daughter Amy has already been carving out a career in reality TV, with a stint on Celebs Go Dating.

And she has admitted she would like to continue pursuing new ­projects instead of returning to the Channel 4 telly-watching show.

Amy has also been announced as one of the stars who has signed up for new show Celebs Go Skating.

She said: “I loved being part of Gogglebox because it meant we spent quality time together as a family. I do miss that.

“But we are a close-knit family anyway. And with any job, after a while, you want to move on to the next thing. You use the experience you’ve had to go on and get the next job.”
