Beloved Gogglebox stars Teresa and Anita, who hail from Solihull in Birmingham, have been absolutely swamped with heartfelt messages of support from their dedicated fanbase. This outpouring of affection comes directly after the couple made a significant announcement regarding their continued participation in the popular Channel 4 television programme.
A Birmingham Favourite on the Screen
The duo first joined the cast of Gogglebox in March 2024 and quickly cemented their status as household favourites. Viewers have been consistently delighted by their sharp, witty observations and hilarious reactions to a wide variety of television programmes, all broadcast from the comfort of their West Midlands home. Anita is often seen with her knitting needles in hand, while Teresa is typically prepared with an assortment of snacks.
Life Beyond the Living Room
Away from their television commitments, Teresa and Anita regularly offer glimpses into their personal lives by sharing photographs and videos on their Instagram account. Their posts frequently showcase a love for the great outdoors and feature their adorable pet dog, endearing them further to their followers.
The Announcement That Sparked Joy
The wave of support was triggered by a post on Instagram from Teresa on Saturday, January 31st. As the show prepares for the premiere of its 27th series on Friday, February 6th at 9pm on Channel 4, Teresa shared an amusing update. She posted a playful image of her wife, Anita, posing in stocks during a walk with their dog, accompanied by the caption: "I suppose I had better release Anita from the stocks so we can start filming again."
She continued enthusiastically, "Can't wait for the return of the wonderful @c4gogglebox next Friday, 9pm CH4. Don't forget your snacks folks."
Fans Express Their Excitement
Supporters were quick to flood the comments section with messages of excitement and anticipation for the pair's return. One fan exclaimed, "Great stuff that you are back!!", while another simply stated, "Can't wait to see you all. X". A third follower added, "Can't wait to see you both back on Gogglebox", and a fourth expressed, "Oooo missed you guys soooo much! Can't wait!".
A Refreshed Gogglebox Lineup
The new series comes after a significant cast reshuffle announced by Gogglebox in September 2025, which saw the departure of popular figures Roisin Kelly and Joe Kyle. In their place, the show has welcomed several new households to its roster. The fresh faces include Jake and Calum from Glasgow, the Gordon family from Surrey, and the married couple Andrew and Alfie from the Cotswolds. Furthermore, a mother-and-daughter-in-law pairing, Sara and Lara from Yorkshire, have also joined the Gogglebox family.
Discussing the new additions, Mike Cotton, Creative Director for Studio Lambert, said: "It's a delight to welcome some new households to the Gogglebox family. Along with our much-loved returning cast, we can't wait to join them in their living rooms and hear their candid thoughts on this week's most talked-about TV."
Gogglebox continues to air on Friday nights at 9pm on Channel 4, offering viewers a unique and entertaining perspective on the week's television.
