Tom Malone (junior) has revealed that he might be preparing to quit Gogglebox after his girlfriend was denied a spot alongside his family members on the Friday night show.

The 26 year old is currently dating model Bryony Briscoe and has said that, "unfortunately" she won't be able to join dad Tom (senior), mum Julie, brother Shaun and their Rottweilers Dave, Lucy, Izzy and Joe on the show because of "contracts and stuff."

Hmmm, quite vague but we'll roll with it.

These two really are the BEST of friends, and if their regular holiday snaps and drunk nights out don't prove it, then this photo from 25 years ago definitely will.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Tom said, "If the opportunity was good enough then yeah 100 per cent [some members of the family] would leave.

"I think the rest of us would be able to stay on Gogglebox," he continued, implying that not all members of the family are looking to branch out from the Channel 4 show.

Tom and Bryony are due to move in together very soon and, talking about the move, Tom told the publication that he "can't wait."

"This time next week I'm gonna be sitting down to watch a Christmas movie with my beautiful girlfriend in our new apartment," he said.

Outside of the show, Tom works as a dance choreographer and has previously worked with stars including The Black Eyed Peas' Fergie, Wiley and Rita Ora.

This news of Tom potentially leaving the show comes not long after EastEnders star Danniella Westbrook hit back at Gogglebox's Siddiqui family after Baasit Siddiqui made a comment about the actress' nose.

Danniella, whose nose collapsed in the 90s as a result of a cocaine addiction, took to Twitter to address the nasty comment, writing, "I for one am in shock that [Gogglebox creator] Tania Alexander allowed that to make the edit.

"My manager is seeking legal advice as trolling is not something we should take lightly.

"The show has always been a favourite of myself and my family, was a real shame that we had to witness such cruel comments on World Kindness Day."
