Earlier this month Gogglebox fans were left devastated as the show went off the air on Channel 4 for the year.

People were annoyed when the show was replaced with a 'best bits' episode - and begged for the normal version to come back immediately.

Stephen says the show will be returning sooner than we all thought, with a festive episode on January 2.
