Gogglebox's Marcus and Mica burst with pride over boxer son's incredible victory

Gogglebox favourites Marcus and Mica were left bursting with pride over their boxer son's achievement earlier this week.

The couple - who are household names on the reality show - were very proud parents on Wednesday.

Mica has two daughters called called Sachelle and Shuggy from a previous relationship.

Meanwhile, Marcus has son Shiloh Defreitas from a past relationship, and the pair share son Yash together.

Shiloh is a professional boxer and over the weekend he celebrated his victory against Iliyan Markov at the O2 Arena.

Mica took to Instagram and shared her excitement for Shiloh, writing: "When ya Boxer son gets you out the house. Yoooo We got a Serious fighter in the gang.

She added: "Young black role model representing South London beautifully. WELL PROUD. You're a shining star in my favourite sport.

"Thanks for a lovely weekend champ @sugarshy_ Thank you God for your blessings."

His dad Marcus commented: "And me toooo! Looking good out and about B. Shiloh is also known as Sugar Shy and the Welterweight is undefeated after four fights."

Marcus and Mica are loved by Gogglebox fans, and recently had viewers in stitches during an instalment of the show, thanks to ending up in a very cheeky position.

At the start of the award-winning show, Mica confessed she's struggling to get her jeans on, after a recent family holiday to Jamaica.

Doting partner Marcus decided to rush to her aid, but viewers noticed the pair ended up in a compromising position on their sofa.

"I thought they were gonna do doggy style #gogglebox," one Gogglebox fan confessed on Twitter as the clip aired.

"That segment with Marcus and Mica was very sexual," another added, as a third quipped: "Oh wow Marcus dressing sexy Mica up, Mica feels very sexy."

Some didn't see the smutty side of it, instead just finding it comical.

"Marcus pulling Mica jeans on the funniest thing," one viewer muted, as the South London paired entertained the Gogglebox audience on Friday night.

The couple met at church, with Marcus admitting Mica caught his eye, so he signed up to an evangelistic course she was attending in an attempt to get to know her better.

His plan almost backfired, when it seemed like Mica "wasn't interested" in him and instead tried to set him up with other women.

Marcus eventually won her over, when he popped round to his crush's home with a bottle of wine for Bible study.

Recalling how things hotted up, Mica told Heat magazine: "He turned up to mine one night to do Bible study with a bottle of wine. We were sitting opposite each other and I’m thinking ‘Footsy? Wine? We’re supposed to be doing Bible study here!’ He told me it was fine because Jesus drank wine."

Sharing what attracted her to Marcus, the TV star added: "He’s got bants. And I literally live for banks, if you can give it back, ill connect all day, and he can, it just works, you know?"

*Gogglebox airs Friday at 9pm on Channel 4
