The nation's favourite TV critics are back as the next series of Gogglebox has been confirmed.

The Channel 4 show began in 2013 and sees normal people watch some of the week's biggest shows and films on TV and streaming services.

Originally narrated by Caroline Ahere, Craig Cash took on the role following Caroline's death in 2016. 

Gogglebox became a hit when it first began and saw the creation of star-filled Celebrity Gogglebox in 2019 which has seen Ed Sheeran, Danny Dyer and more appear.

Now, after a long wait, a new series of Gogglebox is on the way to Channel 4 with the nation's favourite armchair critics returning.

Channel 4 confirms start date for Gogglebox 

The new series of Gogglebox will start on September 13, Channel 4 confirmed to Digital Spy.

While a start date has been confirmed, the broadcasters have not confirmed who will be back or if there will be any newcomers.

However, Dave and Shirley Griffiths confirmed in June that they would be back but others have stayed quiet on their return.

But one star who will not be back is Stephen Webb who left the Channel 4 show towards the end of 2023.

He made his last appearance alongside his ex-husband Daniel Lustig earlier in the year.

Throughout his time on the show, Stephen also shared his Gogglebox sofa with his late mum Pat and friend Chris Ashby-Steed.

Speaking to The Mirror, Stephen shared why he left the show.

He said: "I got to the 10th anniversary of Gogglebox. I started feeling like Ken Barlow... there from day one.

“I was churning out the same old sh**. I’d say to the guys, ‘sorry, you’ll have heard this 10 times before...’ I don’t know why they’ve not cottoned on. When I shoved the doughnut in my mouth and swallowed... I must have done that four times. It made it on every time.”

Gogglebox will return on September 13.
