Where is Tom Malone Jnr on Gogglebox and why did he leave the show?

Gogglebox has returned to TV screens but one familiar face is missing.

The Malone family will be without Tom Malone Jnr while appearing on the Channel 4 show.

The 26-year-old announced this week that he has decided to leave the show after six years.

Tom told his social media followers: "So after six years it's finally time to put down the remote and say goodbye to Gogglebox.

"I've loved every minute and I'm eternally grateful to Channel 4 and Studio Lambert for allowing me to be a part of the show."

As for his reasoning, he simply said: "But new opportunities are knocking on the door and it's time to explore them.

"I look forward to enjoying the show as a viewer and not having to worry about having said something stupid!"
