Gogglebox viewers were left in tears during the 10 Year Anniversary Special episode. Channel 4 aired a one-off edition of the popular series on Saturday to mark the milestone.
The 90-minute show featured a montage of throwback clips from over the years. Viewers were left feeling very tearful as tributes were paid to stars who have died in recent years - including June and Leon Bernicoff, Mary Cook and actress Caroline Aherne.
June and Leon, who were among the show's original cast members, were remembered in the special as an array of their most iconic scenes were aired.

June left the show in 2018 following the death of her husband in December 2017, and the retired teacher then sadly passed away following a short illness in May 2020.
At the beginning of the show, the voice of Gogglebox's original narrator Caroline was also used, leaving viewers feeling very emotional.
The Royle Family star Caroline died at the age of 52 in July 2016 following a two-year battle with lung cancer.
Mary Cook, who died at the age of 92 in August 2021 and was famed for her witty one-liners on the show, was also emotionally included in the special.
Other members of the Gogglebox family, including Pete McGarry - who died in June 2021 - and Andy Michael - who passed away at age 61 in September 2021 - were also remembered.
Teary viewers rushed to social media after spotting their favourite stars back on their TV screens. Taking to Twitter, @Sam_551: "Hearing Caroline Aherne and seeing Leon made me cry.."
@jugriff12: "Many wonderful gogglebox people who are no longer with us or have left. #allappreciated #Gogglebox10Years"
@LD7290: "I can't believe how many of them have passed, left or I've totally forgotten about. #Gogglebox is still one of, if not the best show on TV #Gogglebox10Years"
"Caroline Aherne went far too early #Gogglebox," @Brekkietweets said.
