Gogglebox is saying farewell to one of its families, who have explained their decision to exit in a statement published on social media.
The Baggs family – dad Terry, mum Lisa and their two sons, Joe and George – have put an end to their stint on the reality TV show, citing other "exciting opportunities".
It was Joe who posted a lengthy message to fans on Instagram, thanking their followers for the support.

"After 3 incredible seasons on Channel 4's Gogglebox we have taken the decision to leave the show. We have loved every second of being part of the Gogglebox family and it's truly been the opportunity of a lifetime," he said.
"With lots of exciting opportunities approaching for us all, we just couldn't commit to filming another series but are so grateful for the opportunity."
Joe also teased something big may be coming their way, writing: "We hope that you're as excited as we are for what's coming next!"

The Baggs family joined the Channel 4 show in 2020, on the 16th season of the beloved programme. They didn't take part in the 17th season, but later rejoined the cast for series 18 and 19.
Recently, fans of the show have thrown their support behind another Gogglebox star, Jenny Newby, after she shared a health update following a minor surgery.
On her Instagram, Jenny confirmed she and best friend Lee Riley would return to the show, whose latest season ended on May 27. She and Lee will be back for the show's 20th series, due to premiere later in the year.
Gogglebox airs on Friday nights at 9pm on Channel 4.
