Derby-based Sid Siddiqui – whose family is a firm favourite on the sofa-based TV hit – has now tweeted it will return in the autumn.

“It has been amazing series despite huge challenges,” he said.

“Well done team Gogglebox, we salute you.

“So folks we will meet again in September.

“Enjoy the summer and stay safe.”

Some people replied to say they couldn’t wait until September.

Every week since February, viewers have been kept highly entertained by Gogglebox’s stars discussing everything from Killing Eve and Love Is Blind to Tiger King, Coronation Street and even Prime Minister Boris Johnson's speeches to the nation during the Covid-19 crisis.
