The Michaels, an original family featured on Gogglebox, departed the show in 2021. The clan, including dad Andrew, Carolyne, daughter Alex, and son Louis, gained popularity for their entertaining commentary on TV moments after joining the show in 2013. Despite a brief hiatus due to Andrew’s political aspirations with UKIP in the 2015 general election, they later returned to Gogglebox.
Tragically, Andrew passed away in 2021 at the age of 61, leading the family to opt out of returning post his demise. Channel 4 and Studio Lambert confirmed his passing, expressing their condolences and highlighting Andrew’s significant contributions to the show.
Since their departure, the Michaels have maintained a low profile, with limited social media presence. While Carolyne seems absent from social platforms, Alex occasionally shares snapshots on Instagram, showcasing her fleece-making skills and vibrant lifestyle, often seen enjoying festivals with friends.
Gogglebox can be watched every Friday at 9 pm on Channel 4.
