Gogglebox on hunt for Scottish stars
Meanwhile, it comes after Channel 4 revealed they are searching for new cast members from Scotland to join the show.
The hit reality series is yet to feature a family of Scottish armchair critics since the Manuels from Glasgow in 2016.
It comes after Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross called for more diversity on the series.
During a Scottish affairs committee meeting in Westminster, the MP labelled it “crazy” that a family from Scotland hasn’t featured since 2016.
Channel 4 chief executive, Alex Mahon, later addressed the MP in a statement.

Ms Mahon added: “The casting period is already under way and will run up to Christmas.”
