Gogglebox star Andy Michael has died at the age of 61.
The sad news was revealed in a statement from Channel 4 and Studio Lambert on behalf of his family.
Andy appeared on the show alongside his family from their home in Brighton.
The doting dad won a legion of fans by sharing his unfiltered views on the week's TV alongside his wife Carolyne and their son Louis and daughter Alex.
Fans would sometimes get confused when Alex's lookalike sister Catheryne would take her place on the show.
Catheryne, who goes by Katie, was travelling Australia when the family first signed up for the Channel 4 show, but would sometimes make surprise appearances alongside her parents and brother.
The statement read: "We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Gogglebox star Andy Michael at the age of 61 following a short illness.
"Andy passed away last weekend with his family by his side.
"Retired hotelier Andy, who brought much wit and insight to Gogglebox, was one of the show’s original cast members, appearing in the very first episode in 2013.
"Beloved father to Katy, Alex, Pascal and Louis, and cherished husband of Carolyne, Andy was a much-loved and respected member of the Gogglebox family, and he will be very sadly missed.
"Our love and thoughts are with Carolyne and the entire family. The family have asked for privacy at this very sad time."
Andy's passing comes just a few days after Mary Cook, another star of the show, died with her family by her side.
