Nana Silbery will reunite with daughter Kerry and granddaughter Isabelle – however, they’ll be seated on a new couch as Isabelle’s moved to her new home. Best friends and housemates Kaday and Chantal have also relocated to a new residence.
Surf-loving friends Milo and Nick make an appearance, too – as are loud and proud besties Anastasia and Faye.

Speaking to Daily Mail, Matty revealed the show – which has won four TV Week Logie awards – is a huge success, because the thought of everyday people appeals to the masses.
‘Reality TV includes a whole realm of programs, but Gogglebox is different as a show, because it’s authentic.
He is also humbled by the attention his wife, Sarah and his firstborn have received during the past two seasons – which ran within the peak of Coronavirus lockdowns around the nation.
Keeping it real: Gogglebox star Matty Fahd told Daily Mail, the show is so popular because ‘People are refreshed to see two people in love, not the bulls*** you see on TV. Whether it’s Malik’s smile or just some genuine love and normality between Sarah and I.’
‘I think the world gone a bit mad, people are refreshed to see two people in love, not the bulls*** you see on TV. Whether it’s Malik’s smile or just some genuine love and normality between Sarah and I.’
‘The success of the past twelve seasons of Gogglebox comes down to the simple fact that we are all craving an authentic connection with people we can relate to,’ Group General Manager of LifeStyle Wendy Moore said in a statement.
‘Our Gogglebox families are such a great reflection of all of us and watching them share our own experiences has become part of our collective survival kit in the past twelve months!’
