- The Gordon household from Surrey
- The married pair Andrew and Alfie from the Cotswolds
- Yorkshire's mother-and-daughter-in-law duo Sara and Lara
Mike Cotton, Creative Director for Studio Lambert, expressed enthusiasm about the new additions, stating: "It’s a delight to welcome some new households to the Gogglebox family. Along with our much-loved returning cast, we can’t wait to join them in their living rooms and hear their candid thoughts on this week’s most talked-about TV."
Anticipation Builds for Series Premiere
The twenty-seventh series of Gogglebox launches on Friday, February sixth at 9pm on Channel 4, with Teresa and Anita confirmed to be among the returning cast members. The show continues to capture the nation's attention by featuring ordinary households reacting to the week's television highlights, creating a unique blend of entertainment and social commentary that has maintained its popularity across numerous series.
The overwhelming support for Teresa and Anita highlights the strong bond between Gogglebox stars and their audience, demonstrating how the programme has cultivated genuine affection for its participants beyond their television personas.
