Get ready TV lovers! The time to reunite with our favourite armchair critics is almost here!

According to TV Zone UK, the Channel 4 series, in which Goggleboxers share their takes on the latest television shows, will return on Friday 18th February at 9pm on Channel 4 and All4. 

The social reality series has been on screens for a whopping 18 series, having started back in 2013, and was last on screens for the 2021 Christmas special.

It’s not yet known who out of the cast will be returning for series 19, but filming is expected to kick back up very soon. 

Gogglebox faves Lee Riley and Jenny Newby have been busy making the most of their downtime. They signed off for Christmas on 14th December, and shared a heartfelt goodbye message on their Instagram from the day the cameras stopped rolling for 2021. 

Jenny and Lee, as seen on their joint Instagram, seem to be soaking up the sun, and posted a hilarious pic of Jenny on a mobility scooter, and captioned the snap: “Jenny does Benidorm the Madge way. What happens in Benidorm stays in Benidorm.”

It turns out we’re not the only ones to enjoy hunkering down on a Friday night for an episode of Gogglebox, as Coldplay’s Chris Martin once revealed he’s a big fan of the hilarious pairing. 

Back in December, the Queen of Christmas herself Mariah Carey even got in on the action. 

During the December 10th episode, Pete and Sophie tuned into a clip of Mariah belting out her career-defining track All I Want For Christmas Is You. 

Upon watching the festive footage, Pete responded: “You know what it reminds me of, this? An American-style Jane McDonald."

To which sister Sophie replied: “She is. She’s America’s Jane.”

If you’re unfamiliar with Jane, she’s an iconic singer in her own right, and is best known for her time on BBC series The Cruise. 

The clip was shared on the official Gogglebox Twitter page, and not too long afterwards, Mariah was in touch. 

She retweeted the clip, and excitedly added: “I’m America’s Jane!!!?!?? Thank you gorgeous!!!” followed by a number of heart emojis.

Mariah, if you’re reading this, don’t worry, your favourite Gogglebox gang will be back on screens on Friday 18th February at 9pm.
