THIS IS SO EXCITING WE CAN'T EVEN CHOOSE WHICH FACIAL EXPRESSION TO PULL

Super-happy news to cheer up your Tuesday: that Essex family who used to be on Gogglebox? They're coming back for the new series!

The Gilbeys – George, Linda and Pete, from Clacton-on-Sea – were axed in August 2014 after George took up Channel 5's offer toappear on Celebrity Big Brother, but now they're returning NEXT FRIDAY.

HUZZAH.

That's not even the best news: George is set to become a dad when his girlfriend gives birth to their first baby daughter in June!

"I'm ecstatic. I'm so, so excited," grandmother-to-be Linda told heat in an interview in today's mag.

George, who met partner Gemma at Ascot last summer, said: "I met a lot of superficial girls who were all over me when I came out of the CBB house. It was terrible. But Gemma was so genuine.

"After we'd been seeing each other for a week, she said, 'It's nice going out and all that, but can't we just stay in together?' That's when I knew it was proper, because she wasn't just interested in being seen with me."

N'aww.

George also admitted he's been keeping up with the most recent CBB series and claims he would have "had a go on" Stephanie Davis if he'd been locked up with her. And if he was single, obvs.

"She'd get on my nerves though," he allowed.

The new series of Gogglebox kicks off Friday 19 February at 9pm on Channel 4.
