Tom Malone Jr has carved out a niche for himself by roping his family into his TikTok videos - with hilarious results.
The Manchester-based Malone family joined Gogglebox in 2014 and fast became fan favourites.
Following the end of the most-recent series, Tom appears to have been focussing on TikTok, recruiting the whole family (and their dogs) - for a number of videos.
Look back at some of the Malone’s most legendary TikTok moments...
When Tom Sr got soaked
Tom Jr had the last laugh when he played a prank on his unsuspecting father.
Tom Jr told his dad that he could hide a £2 coin under a water bottle and make it disappear, prompting his father to look into the bottle to see if he was telling the truth.
Just as Tom Sr was looking into the bottle, Tom Jr gave it a strong squeeze, sending a geyser of water right up into his dad's face.
He wasn’t pleased - but he got £2 out of it.

The Who’s Next challenge
Tom roped in his mum and dad for the hilarious Who’s Next challenge, set to the tune Go Go Go Who's Next? by Hip Hop Harry.
The video starts with Tom staring the camera down while performing a simple knee-twitch dance move, before lip-syncing: “Who’s next?”
Suddenly, Tom’s parents join him in the dance, staring straight at the camera with hilarious deadpan expressions.

Like Father like Son
Tom Jr, who is a professional dancer, recruited his father for a dance collaboration in their back garden.
The dance finishes with Tom Jr backflipping over his dad, who remains incredibly relaxed, holding his pose low to the ground.

The Wipe it Down Challenge
The wipe it down challenge took TikTok by storm earlier this year and sees people use visual trickery to show themselves changing in a mirror while cleaning it.
In Tom Jr’s version, he hilariously morphs into his dad.
Each time Tom Jr wipes down the mirror, his father suddenly appears with his signature grumpy face, wearing the same checked shirt as his son.
@tommalone_jrNever looking in that mirror again 😂 ##wipeitdownchallenge ##gogglebox ##themalones ##tommalonejr ##fyp ##foryou ##ukguys

Malones in Black
In a Men in Black tribute video captioned ‘Malones in Black’, Tom Jr and his parents don the signature sunglasses and nail the dance moves.

Mother Julie, however, got a little distracted when the family dogs got involved.

He planted a tray of cakes in front of Bob before leaving the room, seeing how long it would take Bob to dive in.
Bob barely skips a beat before vacuuming up half of the cakes, receiving a proper scolding from Tom when he reenters the room.
