Gogglebox has let go of one of its families after the dad revealed he was running for Ukip in the General Election.
Andrew Michael, 55, his wife Carolyne, 53, and kids Louis, 17, and Alex, 24, will no longer appear on the hit Channel 4 show.
The family confirmed the news on twitter.
A spokesperson for Channel 4 said: “Mr Michaels has confirmed his proposed candidacy as a Ukip MP.
“Sadly any Gogglebox cast member who becomes a candidate for a political party will have to step down from their involvement in Gogglebox.
“It’s with great regret that The Michaels are no longer in the show. They have been excellent contributors to Gogglebox, and we are very grateful for all they have given to the show.”
The family were not in the show last week after it emerged that Andrew had been picked to contest the Hastings and Rye seat.
The Gilbey family were axed in August after son George signed up for Celebrity Big Brother.
But Dom Parker is continuing while also joining Channel 4 show The Jump.
