Sandra Martin announced this week that she's leaving Gogglebox, meaning very few original characters are left on the show.

The 57-year-old appeared in the first series in 2013 with her best friend Sandi Bogle.

As they watched TV on Sandra's sofa, cracking loud jokes, the pair became hugely popular with audiences.

But then Sandi left in 2016 and was replaced by Chanchez, Sandra's 24-year-old daughter.

Now with Sandra's decision to go, fans are wondering what will happen next.

We know that a new Gogglebox spin-off is on the way called Vlogglebox which will focus on internet video and memes.

But what about the stars we've come to know and love?

People loved Scarlett's sharp wit as she watched TV with her parents.

But after she was crowned queen of the jungle, winning I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of here, she decided to quit and pursue a presenting career.

She joined Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway and released the book Scarlett Says in 2016.

Producers decided to axe her parents when Scarlett left.

There has been speculation that she could appear in the next Celebrity Big Brother.

'Silent' Jay Makin

"Silent" Jay gained almost cult following when he appeared with the Woerdenwebers.

He often appeared, silently, behind his ex-girlfriend Evie as the family watched TV.

But following his break-up with Evie, he stopped appearing on the show.
