A Gogglebox star was absent from the latest episode of the Channel 4 show
A popular Gogglebox star was conspicuously absent during the latest episode, and their family promptly provided an explanation.
The enduring Channel 4 programme returned to screens on Friday evening (February 13) for another instalment. Back offering their opinions on recent television were favourites such as Pete and Sophie Sandiford and Ellie and Izzi Warner.
The Plummer brothers, Tremaine, Twaine, and Tristan, who joined the show in 2016, also made a return. However, instead of the usual trio, only Tremaine and Tristan were present on the sofa.
Prior to the episode airing, the brothers explained Twaine’s absence on Instagram. In the video, they said: “It’s just the two T’s today as Twaine left us to go on holiday. So we’ve got a new member of the team now,” before introducing their adorable dog.
The post was captioned: “Meet the new member of the team… @trissy101 @trem_vi Brand new #Gogglebox tonight at 9pm on @channel4.”, reports the Mirror.
Fans quickly filled the comments section with messages of support, and even Twaine responded, saying: “Wish I was there,” accompanied by sad face emojis. Another person wrote: “Enjoy the holiday you are missed tonight.”
Another fan remarked: “Happy Friday looking forward to watching you tonight. Hope he’s gone somewhere that’s sunny and dry.”
A third follower declared: “He’s another good-looking Plummer I’m glad you’re back with us we don’t see enough of you guys.”
The Plummer brothers made their Gogglebox debut a decade ago – and it didn’t take them long to become firm favourites with viewers. Over the years, the brothers – who are based in Bristol – have had fans in stitches thanks to their witty banter and one-liners and comical takes on the telly highlights.

Beyond the television programme though, Tremaine – who is the eldest of the three siblings – hosts a breakfast radio show on Bristol’s Ujima FM. Tristan has pursued a professional footballing career from 2007 as well, alongside other brother Twaine.
Meanwhile Gogglebox welcomed several fresh faces to its line-up last year, including Jake and Calum from Glasgow and the Gordon family from Surrey.
Additional new stars featured the likes of married couple Andrew and Alfie from the Cotswolds and mother-and-daughter-in-law duo Sara and Lara from Yorkshire.
Gogglebox airs every Friday at 9pm on Channel 4.
