The Malone family have been one of the most iconic families on the show since they joined Gogglebox in 2014.
Alongside their witty banter, viewers also loved their family dogs, and selection of snacks that adorned the table. But after six years, Tom Malone Jr decided to leave the show to pursue other opportunities.
Tom, who has partnered with Malibu for its new festive fashion range, shared with Digital Spy what he misses most about being on the popular Channel 4 programme.

"It was nice to sit down with my family and just watch TV," he said. "When you move out as an adult you don't the time to do the simple things like that often and Gogglebox gave us a reason to keep doing it."
He added that he also missed getting free takeaways every time they filmed, saying: "That was the best part of the show hands down."
Tom added that being on the show also gave him new appreciation for TV.
"Once you realise how much goes into filming a TV show it makes you appreciate how hard all the people behind the scenes work to make these shows happen," he explained.
"The finished product that we see is just the tip of the iceberg."
Tom has partnered with Malibu rum to model its new festive collection, which includes a limited edition fur bucket hat, sliders and a stocking.
"I was so happy they reached out to me as when I do have a drink my go to is rum," he said.
"The campaign was so much fun and really cool to be a part of. Plus the new range is actually really comfy and they even let me keep one of the new Malibu Christmas bucket hats which was a big win for me.
"Oh and the Malibu hot chocolate drink is banging. The team were amazing and so easy to work with and I honestly had a great time."
Gogglebox airs on Friday nights at 9pm on Channel 4. Malibu's festive range can be bought here while stocks last.
