One question read: “Would you go back on Gogglebox? Miss you guys.”

Amy responded: “For now I don’t think so, but I think next year or the year after is the 10 year anniversary of Gogglebox, so who knows.

Maybe we’ll come back for a cheeky series

“Maybe we’ll come back for a cheeky series.”

Earlier this year, the family reportedly ruled out a return to Gogglebox to focus on other projects.

At the time, a source told the Daily Star: “The Tapper family was part of Gogglebox for five years and they loved it. But they don’t have any plans to return. They have moved on.

“They have some ­exciting things in the pipeline that they want to focus on.”

Gogglebox welcome new cast members

However, the show certainly isn’t short of cast members.

In fact, Gogglebox welcomed a pair of new additions to the series last week.

During Friday’s episode, viewers were introduced to Simon and Jane from North London.

A second agreed: “I am absolutely loving them!!”

It follows shortly after Paige Deville quit the programme in September.

The 25-year-old Birmingham lass, who appeared with mum Sally, has since made a string of claims about the show.

Paige blamed her exit on the “long hours of filming, restrictiveness” and “lack of aftercare support”.

She also hinted at family tension with her mum on Twitter.
