Googlebox viewers were left shocked when show favourite Marcus Luther revealed he has a son Shiloh, who he said will never appear on the show as he's "a fighter".

Marcus and partner Mica Ven have been hugely popular with their loved-up relationship and hysterical opinions since first joining the show in 2018.

The couple share a son Yash, but their other children are less known including Shiloh, who is a famous boxer who goes by the name Sugar Shy, while Mica has daughters Sachelle and Shuggy.

Marcus and Mica are among several cast members of the hit Channel 4 series with relatives who prefer to remain out of the Gogglebox spotlight, here OK! takes a look at the hidden Gogglebox family members…


The Malones

The Manchester-based Malones show crew currently consists of parents Julie and Tom Senior and son Shaun.

Tom Jr used to appear on the show but, he left the cast in 2021 to pursue other opportunities. Their daughter Vanessa has made a previous appearance on the programme, but is not a regular sofa critic.

The couple also have a third son Lee who runs a recruitment firm and has never appeared on the show before. Recently, fans got a glimpse of Lee as the family celebrated the sibling marrying his partner Sarah in a gorgeous ceremony.

Sid's wife Nasreen, whom Sid has been married to for 40 years, also steers clear of show appearances and previously said the show was "not for me".

She said: "I don't speak very good English and I'm very shy.

"It's best left to the boys. You won't get me on the TV," she once told the Daily Mail.

Ellie and Izzi Warner

Sisters Ellie and Izzi appear on Gogglebox at Ellie's gorgeous home.
