George was known for appearing on the show with his mum Linda and stepdad Pete. Sharing a statement, Channel 4 said: "We are deeply saddened to announce that Gogglebox star Pete McGarry passed away at the age of 71 this weekend with his family by his side after a short illness."

Linda and Pete returned to the show as a couple in 2016, however, in June 2021, it was revealed that Gogglebox star Pete McGarry had died aged 71 after a short illness. The super loud family-of -four from North London had their spot on Gogglebox taken away after Amys stint on Celebs Go Dating, due to the producers "no celebs" rule.

"Pete, his wife Linda and her son George originally joined Gogglebox at the start of the second series in 2013. The Clacton couple returned to the show for the seventh series in 2016 and have been series regulars and firm favourites ever since. Pete will be dearly missed by the entire Gogglebox family, cast and crew."

Parents Nikki and Jonathon recently celebrated their 23rd wedding anniversary. Jonathon – a chauffer - also shed an incredible 3st 7lbs, and is almost unrecognisable from his Gogglebox days. Meanwhile son Josh is a budding politician. Gogglebox airs on Channel 4 on Fridays at 9pm.

The posh couple - who ran a luxury bed and breakfast - were the first breakout stars for the show. They went on to star in their own TV programmes EAFC 24 Coins for sale, and announced that they were taking an indefinite break from the show in 2016. "You can have too much of a good thing," Steph said at the time.
