A beloved Gogglebox<\/a> star was nowhere to be seen during the latest instalment and their family quickly explained why.<\/p>\n

The long-running Channel 4<\/a> show returned to screens on Friday evening (February 13) for another episode. Back sharing their thoughts on the latest bits of telly were favourites like Pete and Sophie Sandiford<\/a> and Ellie and Izzi Warner.<\/p>\n

The Plummer brothers, Tremaine, Twaine, and Tristan<\/a>, – who joined the programme in 2016 – returned too. But instead of the three of them, it was just Tremaine and Tristan sitting on the sofa.<\/p>\n

On Instagram<\/a> before the episode aired, the brothers explained why Twaine was missing. In the clip, they said: \u201cIt\u2019s just the two T\u2019s today as Twaine left us to go on holiday. So we\u2019ve got a new member of the team now,\u201d before picking up their adorable dog.<\/p>\n

The post was captioned: \u201cMeet the new member of the team… @trissy101 @trem_vi Brand new #Gogglebox tonight at 9pm on @channel4.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fans quickly flooded the comments section with support, and even Twaine replied and said: \u201cWish I was there,” along with sad face emojis. Someone else wrote: \u201cEnjoy the holiday you are missed tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another fan commented: \u201cHappy Friday looking forward to watching you tonight. Hope he’s gone somewhere that’s sunny and dry.\u201d A third follower declared: \u201cHe’s another good-looking Plummer I\u2019m glad you\u2019re back with us we don’t see enough of you guys.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Plummer brothers made their Gogglebox debut 10 years ago – and it didn\u2019t take them long to become firm favourites with viewers.<\/p>\n

Over the years, the brothers – who live in Bristol – have had fans in stitches thanks to their witty banter and one-liners and comical takes on the telly highlights.<\/p>\n

Away from the TV show though, Tremaine – who is the eldest of the three siblings – presents a breakfast radio show on Bristol’s Ujima FM. Tristan has enjoyed a professional footballing career from 2007 too as well as other brother Twaine.<\/p>\n

Other new stars included the likes of married couple Andrew and Alfie from the Cotswolds and mother-and-daughter-in-law team Sara and Lara from Yorkshire.<\/p>\n
