Gogglebox family introduce new addition sending fans into a frenzy

Gogglebox fans were sent into a frenzy during Friday’s instalment of the Channel 4 telly watching show, when two of the nation's favourite armchair critics introduced viewers to a brand new addition to their family.

Leeds based friends Danielle and Daniella delighted audiences as viewers tuned in for their weekly fix of irreverent commentary on the hottest shows, when Daniella revealed she had re-homed a brand new puppy. Introducing the new canine to her pal, Daniella revealed that the puppy was a black Staffordshire Bull Terrier and she had decided to name them, Rafi.

"I’ve got a new member in my family..." teased the star before adding: "This is my Rafi the Staffie!" A delighted Danielle then began to fuss over the new puppy as she squeaked out: “Raffi the Staff! Hi, baba!”

During the introduction, the inquisitive pooch could be seen making itself comfortable on her lap while she and her BFF fussed over him with plenty of ear scratches and gentle petting. Following Rafi's on-screen debut, Danielle suggested that her friend should get more than one, before hinting that perhaps three was the magic number! “Should get more,” said Danielle, prompting her pal to exclaim: “No!”

Danielle then continued: “Yes, have three. " In a slightly more serious tone, she then asked: "Why didn’t you get more than one puppy?”

Before Daniella ultimately admitted: “Mate, I almost did!” The pair then shared a short exchange about whether or not the new arrival had fat rolls just like “mummy”, prompting both women to descend into giggles while fussing over Rafi.

Immediately after the scenes had aired fans couldn’t get over how cute the new addition was and raced to social media to share their thoughts about the pup. One fan wrote: “Aww look at that puppy dog!” With a similar sentiment also echoed by a second fan who exclaimed: “That puppy is adorable!!!!”

A third fan then weighed in before writing: “Aww the Staffie puppy. Absolutely gorgeous!”

Danielle and Daniella first made their Gogglebox debut back in September 2022, when the best friends took over from previous fan favourites Sandra and Sandi on the show. The pair currently live in Leeds, the same city as sisters Ellie and Izzi Warner, and have been gradually amassing more and more fans since their introduction.

Sadly, very little is known about the friends’ real lives away from our screens, with their occupations and family life a complete mystery to fans beyond what we see unfold on screen each week.

Gogglebox continues every Friday night at 9pm on Channel 4 and 4OD
