Last week, Gogglebox introduced a new family to Channel 4 viewers but it seems some fans have divided opinions about the latest arrivals from Kent.
Joining the Gogglebox gang for the new season are married couple Michael and Sally along with their sons Jake and Harry.
But many viewers are yet to warm to the family, who have been giving their thoughts on the best TV shows of the week, including Strictly Come Dancing and Heartstopper, along with the rest of the 2024 cast.
Taking to X, this Gogglebox fan said: “I reckon we'll only see that posh family for one series. #Gogglebox”

One account wrote: “I don't like this new family #Gogglebox.”
Others have also been describing the new arrivals as “posh”, with one tweeting last week: “#gogglebox can you stop ramming the new posh family down our throats, please? I'll put money on them lasting 1 season.”
However, some disagree as this viewer shared: “#Gogglebox Haven't watched in ages but I like the new family.”
Elsewhere, a person asked: “Are that new family watching tv in they’re shed 🤔#GOGGLEBOX.”
“Was thinking the same lol,” agreed another.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
