The hit Channel 4 show is due to be back on-screen this Friday after months off-air.

Viewers' favourite armchair critics have been sharing selfies as they returned to their sofas ready to give out their opinions on the latest TV shows and news stories.

However, Stephen's filming update was a little different.

He shared a video to his Instagram page showing himself in a grey T-shirt and a black cap with one of his pups for company.

Stephen's husband and co-star Daniel Lustig was also in the video but was stood the other side of a window.

"This is for the Gogglebox crew, good luck filming this week, can't wait to see you Friday," the 50-year-old said.

"I need a laugh, desperately."

Stephen explained: "We can't film this week cause I've got Covid."

Daniel then added: "We locked him up in this room for everyone's benefit."

After giving fans a look at the room he has been confined to, he said: "Anyway, can't wait to watch you all on Friday. Have a good one!"

He shared the video to his thousands of followers with the caption: "Gogglebox Back this Friday C4 9pm, gutted we won’t be back for episode 1 [crying emoji] looking forward to seeing everyone #gogglebox #goggleboxfriday #goggleboxfamily."

Ellie Warner said: "Hope to see you back very soon! Get well soon."

"It's a nightmare isn't stephen, but it's a break for Daniel," Dave and Shirley Griffiths commented.

Stephen then followed up the post with another snap of Daniel cooking for his husband with the window still firmly between them.

"Love is your husband cooking you valentines lunch @lustig75," he captioned the snap.
