More info Get the latest Edinburgh Live breaking news on WhatsApp Channel 4's reality series Gogglebox first hit our screens in 2013 and has since become a massive success. The show, known for its stars' witty observations and reactions, has bagged numerous awards including a BAFTA and an NTA. Despite initial criticism of the concept, Gogglebox has grown to be one of the network's most cherished programmes. The format has been replicated globally, with versions popping up in Australia, Belgium, Finland, Ireland, Mongolia and Norway. Here's a rundown on some of the former families and where they are now, more than a decade on. The Tapper family The Tapper family, consisting of dad Jonathan, mum Nikki and their children Josh and Amy, were among the original Gogglebox families. Post-Gogglebox, Amy has appeared in reality shows Celebs Go Dating and Celebrity Coach Trip, alongside her dad Jonathan. Josh pursued a career in politics and communications, securing a spot on the Government Communications Apprenticeship scheme. A few years back, Amy and her dad revealed they had lost six stone between them. Their transformation is striking after participating in the Do The Unthinkable Diet with Muscle Foods. The Moffatt family The Moffatt family's Scarlett Moffatt is one of the biggest names to emerge from Gogglebox. After just two years on the show, she ventured into the I'm A Celebrity jungle. She was crowned Queen of the Jungle during the 16th series and later joined Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway as a presenter. The entire family featured in the contentious Channel 4 series The British Tribe Next Door, where they spent four weeks living alongside the Himba tribe in Namibia. In 2023, Scarlett, aged 34, announced her pregnancy and welcomed her first child, a son, in June of that year. (Image: Scarlett Moffatt on Instagram) Sandi and Sandra Sandra revealed how her life took a turn after she exited the series nearly eight years ago. The grandmother-of-five found herself unemployed and residing in temporary accommodation. Her mate Sandi dropped hints about an upcoming major project that could potentially alter their circumstances. During a chat with Money Talks in the summer of 2024, she teased: "Let me tell you, we have a big secret coming up. We're going to be doing a TV show together. "We can't tell you anything else but watch this space, it's going to be amazing." (Image: GETTY) Steph and Dom Parker Steph and Dom were part of the series until 2016, after which they operated a bed and breakfast at their Grade I listed property in Kent. Their business went into liquidation in 2021, prompting them to relocate to their holiday home in the Canary Islands that same year. They are currently running their own gin company. Stephen and Daniel Stephen and Daniel made the announcement in 2024 that they had ended their marriage of six years. They left Gogglebox in 2023, expressing their desire to "explore other opportunities". Despite their split, they pledged to stay friends. In January 2025, Daniel disclosed that they were still cohabiting while they arranged for the sale of their flat. Speaking on Best's Suddenly Single podcast, he revealed: "We cohabit really well together. (The split) was quite a slow process, for a while we were still sleeping in the same bed. "Then when Stephen went on Celebs Go Dating we agreed we'd sleep in separate bedrooms. We've found a way to work together, live together and be dog dads. It's always been about friendship." They are both still at the helm of their salon enterprise together.

The country mourned when Leon died in December 2017 at 83, followed by June stepping back from the show. June channelled her memories into penning her debut book, 'Leon And June: Our Story', painting a portrait of their six-decade-long love story. Tragically, June died in May 2020 at 82, after a brief illness.

Hospitality veteran Mary died in August 2021 at the age of 92. Marina, on the other hand, wrapped up her outstanding charity work in October 2024 at 89, dedicating 17 years to South West charitable endeavours. Having made her mark, she decided it was time for a well-deserved respite, with her 90th Christmas just around the corner.
