A beloved Gogglebox family have shared the heartbreaking news of another loss. The Malones — who have been delighting viewers on Channel 4 for over a decade — are known for their warm, witty reactions to the week's TV highlights.
The family group includes Tom, Julie, Tom Jnr, and Shaun, and they're among the show's most cherished faces. They've been part of the Friday night favourite since 2014, though Tom Jnr left in 2021 to follow new career paths, reports Manchester Evening News.
Fans have occasionally seen Tom and Julie's daughter, Vanessa, appear on the programme. Off-screen, Tom Sr works as a lorry driver, Julie is a receptionist, and Tom Jnr has built a career in modelling and dance choreography.
The Malones are also known for their love of dogs, introducing viewers over the years to furry friends Lucy, Dave, Izzy, Joe, and Bob.
After mourning Lucy's death in 2022 and Dave's in 2023, the family recently revealed that Bob passed away over the weekend.
Tom Jnr confirmed the sad news on Instagram, sharing heartfelt photos and writing: 'Good boy Bob....Rest easy big man.'

Katie Price sends son Harvey back to college early after he 'smashes' £3k TV
Katie Price previously revealed that Harvey is "on the verge of a heart attack" after tipping the scales at 30 stone Katie Price has revealed that her son Harvey had to return to college earlier than planned after he wrecked her telly. The ex-glamour model took to Snapchat to recount the episode in which her eldest boy "smashed" the £3,000 set. Harvey, aged 23, left his mum gobsmacked when his tantrum resulted in the need for a fresh TV. The mother of five relayed the tale to her social media fans before explaining to her son the repercussions of his behaviour. In the video, Katie captured Harvey, who is visually impaired due to septo-optic dysplasia, a brain development disorder, and also has autism and Prader-Willi Syndrome, a rare genetic condition that can lead to overeating. She described being roused by the noise of the telly breaking at six in the morning. In the footage, Katie, 47, enquired: "What has mummy just heard?" To which Harvey calmly responded: "Smashing the TV." Asking more about what happened, Harvey claimed something on the screen had annoyed him. However, she later expressed scepticism to her followers, saying nothing was probably on the screen at the time, reports the Mirror. Katie then informed Harvey: "You was going to college tomorrow to get some new meds [medication], but now when are you going? You are going now." A downcast Harvey uttered: "Oh god," as his mum clarified that she needed to send him back so she could sort out a new telly for the house. She labelled the whole scenario as "sad". Later, Harvey said sorry to the former glamour model and promised it wouldn't occur again. Katie insisted to her son: "Well you've got to go to collage now and get some meds." Katie commemorated Harvey's 23rd birthday last month with a heartfelt display of affection. She posted a lovely snapshot on Instagram showing her and Harvey cosying up in bed before his birthday festivities. On Bank Holiday Monday, Katie shared her delight over Harvey reaching another milestone on her Instagram stories. The charming post featured the pair lying cheek-to-cheek in bed, having a leisurely day relaxing at home. Brimming with anticipation for the celebration ahead, Katie said: "Bank holiday cuddles before lots of celebrations tomorrow." It comes amid Katie's transparency about Harvey's escalating health issues as he tipped the scales at 30 stone. In a frank conversation with her sister Sophie on The Katie Price Show, Katie did not shy away from discussing the gravity of their circumstances. "He's just under 30st and that's huge," she disclosed. "He's on the verge of a heart attack. He won't have a long life if he carries on putting more and more weight on." Katie then revealed that they are actively collaborating with a medical team to attempt to improve his health. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Another EastEnders couple hit the rocks amid ‘cheating' scandal
Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) is mortified to see her husband George (Colin Salmon) 'cheating' on her with ex-wife Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) in EastEnders next week – and she's not the only former partner he's met up with! But is everything as it seems? The two women have never seen eye to eye, ever since Cindy miraculously 'rose from the dead' in 2023, revealing that she had spent 25 years in witness protection. George was unable to resist temptation and found himself falling for her again, but after marrying Elaine in November, the couple have managed to find steady ground. That was further strengthened by Cindy's affair with former step-son Junior Knight (Micah Balfour), and the subsequent attack she faced on Christmas Day at the hands of Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth). United and stronger than ever before, Elaine was mortified to see George offer his support to Cindy at the re-opening of The Prince Albert earlier this week. Under new management, she'd planned to go all-out with a relaunch celebration, but hadn't managed to sell enough tickets or pull off a big enough publicity campaign to garner attention. There's also the small matter of her being Cindy Beale, Walford's most hated woman. In upcoming scenes, still reeling from her husband's act of betrayal, Elaine decides to show George just how committed she is with a sentimental gift that harks back to his boxing days. As they share a warm moment, Junior bursts in and decides to reveal where his dad was on the night of Cindy's attack. Despite telling everyone that he was attending an illegal boxing match, Junior knows the truth. He was actually visiting ex-wife Sabrina. If that wasn't bad enough, George then spills that she tried to kiss him. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street? The latest gossip from Emmerdale?

After a vicious argument, George rushes off into the night and searches for Junior. He wants to know why he dropped the bombshell. Unfortunately, the first person he bumps into is Cindy, who is more than happy to offer her words of wisdom. More Trending Elaine spots them together on The Prince Albert balcony, and when Felix Baker (Matthew Morrison) oversees them looking cosy – and leaving together – she's furious. Calling up old pal Drew Peacock (Paul Clayton), the pair have a heart to heart as she bats off attention from another punter. Boosted by Drew's pep talk, she makes a shocking decision.
