GOGGLEBOX fans have raised their concerns after a popular family from the show vanished for two weeks.
As the latest episode of the Channel 4 programme aired, eagle-eyed viewers noticed the Malone family were missing.
This is the second week on the trot that Tom Snr, Julie and their son Shaun have not appeared on the latest series of Gogglebox.
Writing on X, formerly known as Twitter, one worried fan asked: "Anyone know what's happened to the Malones? Never the same without them #gogglebox."
Another added: "Where’s the Malones? They weren’t on last week's episode either."

And a third even suggested: "I think they've left?"
Thankfully, The Sun can reveal that the Malone family have not quit.
Instead, they have missed filming for Gogglebox for the past fortnight as they are currently on holiday in the US.
The Malones have jetted off to Orlando in Florida and have been busy visiting all the city's famous theme parks, including Walt Disney World.
Tom Snr has given fans a sneak peek of their sunshine trip by sharing several holiday photos on social media.
Posting on the family's joint Instagram account, he shared a fun shot of himself and Julie with fan-favourite Disney character Goofy.
Tom Snr has also snapped an amusing shot of himself in front of Epcot centre's geosphere - aka the giant golf ball.
Although his face really doesn't show it, Tom wrote on his X account: "Happy, happy, happy!"
The family are obviously having a blast during their time away from being professional armchair critics. Julie has even recorded a video of Tom Snr driving their hire car down a freeway.
"Look at this, bit better than Manchester, eh Julie? The Florida sunshine," Tom said.

"I'm driving on the wrong side of the road, but I'll go with it.
"You can overtake in any lane, Julie. It's cracking!
"There's nobody hogging the middle lane here but it doesn't matter - just go round them! It's great!"
Tom Snr said he wanted to get himself "some chewing gum, a ten gallon hat and some cowboy boots" , adding: "That's living the dream, that is."
But Julie quickly corrected her husband, telling him: "That's Dallas. That's not Florida."
The Malone family have been regulars on Googlebox since 2014.
As well as their son Shaun, Tom Snr and Julie were previously joined by their other son Tom Jr. He left the show in 2021, however.
The couple's daughter Vanessa and her children have also popped up on Gogglebox on occasion.
