Kate and Graham have been inundated with messages from fans enquiring about their whereabouts over the course of the last few weeks, with Kate now finally answering them. 

She tweeted one fan, stating: “Hi, our daughter has her GCSES so we needed a break from the cameras.”

So there you go.

Kate and Graham aren’t the only pair who are missing from this series of ‘Gogglebox’.

Earlier this month, Steph and Dom Parker revealed they had quit the show for good, while Sandy and Sandra are currently on a break. 

Obviously, Scarlett Moffatt is otherwise engaged at the moment, as she is taking part in ‘I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!’.

It was recently claimed the rest of the ‘Gogglebox’ gang were so unhappy about Scarlett’s preferential treatment, they’re threatening to strike.

Channel 4 have strict rules about what the Goggleboxers do outside of the show, which means they are prevented from cashing in on their fame, yet Scarlett has been allowed to enter the jungle

‘Gogglebox’ continues on Friday (25 November) at 9pm on Channel 4.
