Gogglebox star Tom Malone Jr has confirmed that he has quit the Channel 4 series.

The star, who has appeared on the show alongside the Malone family, first joined the show over six years ago – and confirmed his departure in an Instagram post.

"So after 6 and a half years it's finally time to put down the remote, and to say goodbye to Gogglebox," he wrote on a picture of himself holding a sign reading "Back on the market / Get at me with any TV work".

"I've loved every minute and I’m eternally grateful to @channel4 and @studiolambert for allowing me to be a part of the show. But new opportunities are knocking on the door and it’s time to explore them," he continued.

"I look forward to enjoying the show as a viewer and not having to worry about having said something stupid PS. Don’t worry my family @themalonesgb and @shaunmalone95 will still be on the show to keep you guys entertained every Friday. To the future."
