After first joining the cast of Gogglebox back in 2018, Marcus Luther and Mica Ven have become firm favourites among viewers thanks to their hilarious antics and sweet relationship.
The funny duo, who have been dating for several years, first met at their local church.
During an interview with Heat magazine, Marcus explained that he’d seen Mica sign up for a specific course, so he decided to do the same in order to get closer to her.
But despite the gesture, he admitted to Heat magazine that his plan hadn’t come together as he’d hoped.
“She tried to set me up with some other girls from the course. She wasn't interested,” he said.
And while the couple may be known for their time on-screen, they’re not the only famous face in their family.
In fact, Marcus’ sonShiloh Defreitas is a professional boxer and recently secured a successful victory against Iliyan Markov at London’s O2 Arena.
With both Marcus and Mica in attendance, the pair were quick to gush over Shiloh on Instagram.
Sharing a snap alongside the talented sportsman, Mica wrote: “When ya Boxer son gets you out the house. Yoooo We got a Serious fighter in the gang.
“Young black role model representing South London beautifully. WELL PROUD. You’re a shining star in my favourite sport.
“Thanks for a lovely weekend champ @sugarshy_
“Thank you God for your blessings.”
Meanwhile, Marcus commented: “And me toooo! Looking good out and about B. Shiloh is also known as Sugar Shy and the Welterweight is undefeated after four fights.”
Mica’s daughtersSachelle and Shuggy are also familiar faces on our screens and in earlier series occasionally appeared alongside the pair on Gogglebox.

Together,the pair live in a chic modern home in South London, with viewers becoming used to seeing the pair’s cosy sitting room every Friday night.
During a recent episode of the Channel 4 show, Mica revealed that she’d been battling alopecia after watchingOscars host Chris Rock make a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s diagnosis.
Having witnessed Will Smith defend his wife, Mica said: “I don't really think it was worth the slap.”
Conversely, Marcus agreed with Will and said: “I've seen how you feel about your alopecia at times. A woman's crown is a woman's crown.”
Away from their appearances on Gogglebox, Marcus works as a boxing coach and gym owner, while Mica runs her own hairstyling company.
