Gogglebox gains new cast member Vanessa Malone

We're all used to our favourite Gogglebox cast members, but it's also nice to see new people join the fun.

On tonight's episode (March 26), viewers got to meet the Malones' daughter Vanessa for the very first time.

She was introduced to us alongside her parents, Tom Sr and Julie, and brother Shaun.

Her first line was denying that she was ever a "daddy's girl", to which mum Julie scoffed, saying: "You're still a daddy's girl!"

Vanessa said: "You just used to say I was a daddy's girl because then that gave you an excuse to pander around the boys."

She's definitely inherited her parents' razor-sharp wit.

Despite her denial, it sounds as if she knew how to use her parents' love to great effect: she and Julie told a childhood story of going to buy school shoes - only to come back with a £120 pair of jeans.

Vanessa has been mentioned before, but we've never seen her on the show. Another brother, Tom Jr, was a regular on the programme until recently but left earlier this year.

Reaction to Vanessa's debut was warm across social media, with plenty of fans welcoming her to the show.

Bristol's own Mary and Marina, meanwhile, still haven't been seen this series - hopefully they'll be back soon. In the meantime, we still have local representation with the Plummer brothers.

Gogglebox airs at 9pm on Channel 4 every Friday.
