Gogglebox's Mica and Marcus' love story - church seduction and blended family

Gogglebox stars Mica Ven and Marcus Luther have been fan favourites ever since they made their debut on the series in 2018.

Viewers can't get enough of the loved-up pair, who live in South London, and their love story would melt even the coldest heart.

Marcus set his sights on Mica after their paths crossed at church.

After noticing that she signed up for an Alpha course - an evangelistic course that seeks to introduce the basics of the Christian faith through a series of talks and discussions - he joined up to the classes to get to know her.

In a recent interview, Marcus explained how his game plan to get to Mica backfired when she "wasn't interested."

"She was doing this thing called Alpha Course, so I signed up for it, too, but then she tried to set me up with some other girls from the course. She wasn’t interested", he told Heat.

Marcus then won Mica over with humour and before long things became romantic when he visited her at home with a bottle of wine for Bible study.

Recalling how things hotted up, Mica said: "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?"

Mica and Marcus have not tied the knot but have been in a long term relationship for years and share a blended family.

Mica has two daughters from a previous relationship, called Sachelle and Shuggy and Marcus is father to son Shiloh Defreitas is also from a previous relationship.
