A new version of hit TV show Gogglebox is on the way called Vlogglebox...

When Gogglebox first arrived on our screens, some of us wondered what the world was coming to.

Watching telly where people watch telly?! It seemed like some sort of weird paradox initially.

However, now that we've come to love and obsess over it, it's totally normal and there is NOTHING wrong with watching people watch TV.

But a new spin-off of the show has left us scratching our heads to be honest.

Making stars out of its cast members like Scarlett Moffatt, who has gone on to host the National Television Awards, star in an EE advert with Kevin Bacon AND co-host Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, Gogglebox really has cemented it's place in our hearts.

But how will new spin-off Vlogglebox go down?

Yep, you read that right - the new show will be called Vlogglebox and will essentially film people watching things online.

Despite initially being thought to centre purely around teenagers, Vlogglebox doesn't mention anything about age restrictions on the show so far - only that it will be based around watching things online.

Said to focus on memes and internet videos, the new E4 show will see people watching things on their tablets and mobiles as show bosses want to move away from "filming people on a sofa".

And it will be filmed differently too.

Instead of seeing people from far away, the cameras will be attached the the device they're watching it on.

Channel 4 said: "Most of the show will be shot on iPhones attached to the cast's phones and tablets."

Hmm. We'd be worried about the angle if we were appearing on it - multiple chins isn't a good look on national TV!

In yet another twist, the "watchers" won't necessarily even be at home. They might be on the bus or in a restaurant whilst they're watching stuff.

We're not sure how we feel how about this one. What do you reckon?

Watch Vlogglebox on E4 from 18 June.

Do you think this sounds like a good concept? Let us know over on Facebook and Twitter.
