Away from the TV show though, Tremaine - who is the eldest of the three siblings - presents a breakfast radio show on Bristol's Ujima FM.

Meanwhile, Tristan has enjoyed a professional footballing career from 2007 as well as his other brother Twaine. However, a few years back, Tremaine's world turned upside down after a shock diagnosis.

In 2020, Tremaine celebrated spending five years cancer-free after suffering from bowel cancer. Alongside a photo of him on a hospital bed, Tremaine penned an emotional caption.

He wrote on Instagram: “When I first saw this photo it made me feel sick and weak. I hated this photo for a long time. But now this photo is my medal. This was me 5 years ago. Post-surgery for bowel cancer.

“One of the worst things that could have happened to me has turned into one of the best. Not everything bad that happens to you is the end."

He added: "Out of some bad s*** comes good s***. The entire experience has been an eye-opener and I view life totally different now. Stay strong.”

As for the Plummer’s personal lives, Tristan is a dedicated dad to two children, a son and a daughter. Meanwhile, Twaine is a doting father to a son.

Sadly, in 2021, the brothers sadly lost both their parents, with Tristan sharing an emotional tribute to his late mum on August 10, 2021, as he wrote: “This One Hurts Posting, This R.I.P. My Queen, Still In Shock.. April 8, 2021.”

Gogglebox series 26 airs on Friday at 9pm on Channel 4.
