Former Gogglebox stars Marcus Luther and Mica Ven have landed a spot on another iconic show following their departure from the Channel 4 series.

Last month, the couple confirmed that they had decided to quit Gogglebox after five years, saying it was "time to put down the remote".

However, the pair have revealed that they will be appearing on the BBC's Pointless as they put their general knowledge to the test.

"Embarrassing the ends, that also counts," Mica quipped, before Marcus concluded: "Here goes, guys… wish me luck!"

Writing in the comments, Marcus said: "I’m having a fun day with Big Meesh and It’s all love raising money for our chosen charity (ACLT), that makes it a whole lot better..."

Sharing a statement last month upon their exit announcement, the couple said: "We've had so much fun with you all tuning in at home and the hardworking Gogglebox crews, but it's time to put down the remote and see what else God has in store for us.

"To everyone that has tuned in & sent us messages of love and encouragement over the years, we appreciate every last one of you. Thank you so much."

Gogglebox airs on Friday nights at 9pm on Channel 4 and streams on All4. Pointless airs on BBC One.
