"It's time to put down the remote."

Gogglebox stars Marcus Luther and Mica Ven have quit the programme after five years on the show. The pair, who live in London, were initially joined by Mica's kids during their first few years on the programme, but in recent years, it's been just them appearing on the show. Mica announced that they were leaving with a post on Instagram. She wrote: "We just want to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to @c4Gogglebox for having us for the last 5 years, even though we had to travel so far for filming (downstairs & through the corridor) it was so worth it, it's been an epic journey! You guys are the bestest of the best. "We've had so much fun with you all tuning in at home & the hardworking Gogglebox crew's but it's time to put down the remote and see what else God has in store for us." https://www.instagram.com/p/CmWS1qpoLt-/ She added: "To everyone that has tuned in & sent us messages of love and encouragement over the years, we appreciate every last one of you. Thank you so much." Mica also thanked her fellow cast members, and described them as being "brothers & sisters" for life. A number of their fellow cast members wished them well with the future. Izzi Warner wrote: "We'll miss you both!!" Tom Malone Jr said: "Best of luck!" Daniel Lustig-Webb penned: "We will miss you (...) good luck on the future xxx" Tristan Plummer commented with "No (...) we are gonna miss u (love) and all the best in the future family", while his brother Twaine wrote: "wish all the best in the future".
