The Michaels family
We're so glad that the Michaels family are back making us laugh on Gogglebox, but it wasn't always the case! In 2015, Andrew, Carolyne and their children, Louis and Alex, left the show while Andrew stood for UKIP in the general election.
At the time, a spokesperson said: "It's with great regret that the Michaels are no longer in the show. Sadly any Gogglebox cast member who becomes a candidate for a political party will have to step down from their involvement in Gogglebox. They have been excellent contributors to and we are very grateful for all they have given to the show."
Andrew didn't win the seat, and so the family eventually returned to the series, and have been regulars ever since.
