Gogglebox fans have been left absolutely stunned (and feeling like they need to get their eyes tested) after departing star Mica Venn revealed her true age.
Mica left the reality TV show alongside partner Marcus in December 2022 after inviting the nation into their front room for five years.
The pair released a statement just before Christmas last year, saying they were ‘putting the remote down’ after having ‘so much fun’.
In October, the pair revealed that they had suffered a death in the family and thanked fans for their support during a difficult time.
Mica and Marcus previously appeared on the show with Marcus’ daughters Sachelle and Shuggy, before becoming a duo on the series.
And over the weekend, in an Instagram post that has shocked Gogglebox viewers to their very core, Mica has revealed that she’s 44 years old.
‘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’.
In recent weeks, Mica and Marcus revealed that, after leaving Gogglebox, they had started work on a filming new show – details are yet to surface.
Last month, the couple filmed themselves backstage before they were due to film an upcoming episode of tea-time quiz show 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.
