Gogglebox legends Marcus and Mica reveal they have quit the show after five years in shock post leaving fans gutted

GOGGLEBOX legends Marcus and Mica have announced they've quit the show in a shock social media post.

The couple, who have been household favourites for five years, revealed their decision to leave on Instagram.

Thanking Channel 4 for the opportunity of becoming household names, the couple told fans they felt the need to see what else "God has in store for us".

The pair said: "We've had so much fun with you all tuning in at home & the hard-working Gogglebox crews but it's time to put down the remote and see what God has in store for us."

Fans were left devastated with one tweeting: "We'll miss you both."

A second wrote: " Nah this ain't the news I wanted to hear. Hope 2023 brings you both more blessings."

Another added: "Nooooooo. Say it ain't so. Don't leave us."

The couple shot to fame in 2018 when they joined the Channel 4 show for its 11th series.

They were originally joined by Mica's two daughters Sachelle and Shuggy, but the girls decided to opt out of more recent series.

Marcus and hairstylist Mica had been taking time out from their TV work lately - and just last week were seen on a party cruise.

They shared snaps on social media as they were snapped enjoying themselves on the five-night JamRock Reggae Cruise.

The hilarious husband and wife duo flew to Miami, where they boarded the boat which took them to Jamaica while they watched top reggae artists perform at sea.

The pair were joined on the trip by their rarely-seen youngest son, Yash, who occasionally appears on the show with them.

Off-screen Marcus is a boxing coach and has overseen his 22-year-old son Shiloh Defreitas' success in the ring.
