Gogglebox has landed a primetime slot on Channel 4.

The surprise hit - which captures members of the public as they watch the week's television - will now air on Fridays at 9pm.

Fan favourites such as Leon and June, Steph and Dom, and Sandra and Sandy will all return along with two new Gogglebox additions, Kingston University students Josh and Joe and the Birmingham-based Carr family - Verona, Nate and Grandma Ann.

The first episode is expected to see the Gogglebox stars chewing over the Oscars, The Voice, The Taste and Saturday Night Takeaway.

"We make each episode from scratch every week, never knowing what we are going to get," Channel 4's head of specialist factual David Glover said. "I love the fact that it's so funny, and I love that the show feels warm, but maybe most of all I love the fact it feels like a little bit of truth.

"Our viewers can say whatever they want, cutting through PR, cutting through the bulls**t. They are even allowed to slag off my other shows - which they invariably do."

The new 12-part series of Gogglebox will kick off on Channel 4 on March 7.
