Devoted fans of Channel 4's hit show Gogglebox were left asking one burning question during Friday night's episode: where were the Siddiquis? The beloved family, known for their witty and insightful commentary, were noticeably absent from their regular spot on the sofa, and viewers were quick to voice their disappointment.
A wave of complaints flooded social media platforms as the credits rolled. Many took to X, formerly Twitter, to express their confusion and demand answers. One viewer penned, "Where are the Siddiquis? #Gogglebox," echoing the sentiments of countless others who found the episode lacking without the family's presence.
Another fan stated the family are "the best thing on the show," while a different comment read, "No Siddiquis? I'm heartbroken." The overwhelming consensus was that the episode wasn't the same without the father and sons trio, who have become fan favourites since the show's inception.
The Siddiquis, hailing from Derby, are one of the original families on Gogglebox and are renowned for their sharp, often humorous takes on the week's television. Their absence was felt so deeply that some viewers even suggested the show should be renamed to 'Gogglebox without the Siddiquis' for the night.
As of now, Channel 4 has not released an official statement explaining the reason behind the family's absence. Whether it was a simple scheduling conflict or another reason remains a mystery, leaving fans hopeful for their return next week.
