Back in 2015, a very different kind of reality show hit our screens.

One which had us gathering around our TVs to watch other Aussies watching TV.So simple, yet so genius.

Now a new season of Gogglebox is returning to our screens this week and we are very excited to see our old favourites back on the couch.

Watch: Gogglebox react to the historic 'Yes' vote. Post continues below.

Ahead of the show's 13th season, we decided to take a look back at what the original cast ofGoggleboxare doing now (besides the ones who are still on the show, of course).

From Tom and Wayne to the much loved Jackson family here's where the originalGoggleboxersare now.

Gogglebox's Angie Kent and Yvie Jones

Six years on, we very much miss seeing Angie and Yvie (and their hundreds of dogs) on TV.

The housemates graced our screens for four years before stepping away from the show in 2019.

"By the end I think we lost our spark a little bit. We became a little bit too comfortable, and what more can you really say after four years of watching similar shows over and over?" Angie wrote in her autobiography,If You Don't Laugh You'll Cry: Life and Love from Either Side of the TV Screen.

But they weren't gone for long, Angie and Yvie went on to appear on season five ofI'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!before Angie took on the role ofThe Bachelorettein 2019.

After handing out roses, the 30-year-old appeared onDancing With The Starsand is currently working on horror feature filmThe Possessed.

"My manager asked if I’d like to audition for this film, and I thought, 'Why not give it a red hot go?'" Angie toldStudio 10about landing the role.

"I didn’t think I’d get it. I had to be really quite frightened in the audition, and you know what? Why not? Life’s for living and I love a good adventure."

Yvie on the other hand, has been quieter on the reality TV front. These days, she co-hosts a podcast Chicks In History alongside her friend Annie.

She also keeps in touch her fellowGoggleboxcastmate Isabelle Silbery.

Gogglebox's Adam Densten and Symon Lovett

From their colourful socks to the refrigerator side table, it didn't take long for Australia to fall in love with Adam Densten and Symon Lovett.

The friends, who met on a university pub crawl, sadly announced they were leaving the show last year.

"After five years we wanted to thank everyone that watched the show, helped make the show and was on the show. We were asked to be onGoggleboxfive years ago, sitting at a pub," Symon wrote on Instagram at the time.

"We thought we might get some free beers out of it, on that front we've well and truly filled our boots."

They recently returned to our screens on the latest season ofI'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

Speaking to //news.com news.com.au, Symon explained that the pair reached out to Beverley McGarvey, chief content officer and EVP of ViacomCBS Australia, to go on the show.

"It was actually us who emailed the head of Channel 10," Symon told the publication. "We met Bev at the Formula One. We sent her an email saying, ‘If you’re looking for any hosts we know a couple of guys.’ She wrote back and said, ‘How would you like a jungle experience?’

"We jumped at it."

These days, the boys are keeping themselves busy with their podcastThe Adam & Symon Show.
