Fans of Gogglebox have been left astonished (and feeling the need to get their eyes checked) when departing performer Mica Venn revealed her real age.
Mica and Marcus exited the reality TV programme in December 2022 after five years of letting the public inside their front room.
The two posted a statement just before Christmas last year, claiming they were ‘putting the remote down’ after having ‘so much fun’.
In October, the couple disclosed that a family member had died and thanked supporters for their support at a tough period.
Mica and Marcus first participated on the show with Marcus’ children Sachelle and Shuggy before forming a partnership.
Mica disclosed her age to Gogglebox fans over the weekend in an Instagram post that shook them to their core.

‘Sorry to disturb you gang, but anyone got any spare sleep I can borrow?’, she posted to her Instagram story earlier.
She continued: ‘I’m sure I’m supposed to feel young and lit at the weekends, not old and tired. I’m only 44, this can’t be right.’
‘My gorgeous friend,’ one poster commented, ’44 where? Stop the lie!’ with Mica responding by asking if the user wanted to see her birth certificate.
‘Stop lie bout 44! Ya 28 n glowing boo, love you so much,’ a close friend said, to which Mica amusingly responded by saying she’d gladly ‘take 28’.
Mica and Marcus recently disclosed that, after leaving Gogglebox, they had begun work on a new programme, the specifics of which have yet to be released.
Last month, the couple was recorded backstage before filming an upcoming edition of tea-time quiz game Pointless Celebrities.
‘It’s general knowledge but we ain’t got nothing general about our knowledge. I’m in here feeling dunce like I don’t even know my name anymore,’ Marcus said in the video.
Tom Malone Jr., their Gogglebox co-star, stated that he and partner Bryony Briscoe had split after more than two years together.
The pair, who began dating in early 2020 and moved in together during the peak of the epidemic, announced their divorce on social media.
