<\/p>\nJust like us, Gogglebox stars often sit down to watch the telly with something to nibble on, from fish and chips to chocolate \u00e9clairs and crisps.<\/p>\n
However, there are some rules around what food the cast can and cannot eat.<\/p>\n
Over the years, the Malone family have become renowned for their snack plates. <\/p>\n
From delicious doughnuts to colourful party rings and muffins, they've pretty much eaten every sugary snack in the cupboard since joining the show in 2014, with \u00e9clairs being one of their favourites.<\/p>\n
Mum Julie was previously forced to clarify the family do actually eat the snacks, after Twitter users were up in arms over the seemingly untouched food.<\/p>\n
"We really do eat the cakes and biscuits they just don't show it," she tweeted.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Her son and former star Tom Malone Jnr previously revealed the "biggest perk" of filming the show was food related.<\/p>\n
He said: "Without a doubt, one of the best perks of Gogglebox is that every time we film, which is twice a week, the crew get us a takeaway of our choosing.<\/p>\n
"It's literally one of the most amazing things about the show, honest to god. It's the best."<\/p>\n
Helena Worthington previously dished the gossip on her favourite show snacks, revealing that she's "told off" for eating crisps during filming.<\/p>\n
The reality star appears on the show with her mum Alison and Alison's husband George. <\/p>\n
Speaking in an exclusive interview with OK!<\/b>, Helena revealed the snack situation on the show.<\/p>\n
"There's a stomach for savoury and a stomach for sweet.<\/p>\n
"So there's got to be the sweet and the savoury balance. Any sort of new snack I've not tried before," Helena said, while her mum added: "You've got her on her favourite subject."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
"If this was Mastermind, that's what I'd be covering," Helena continued. "I get told off by the producer because I'm always eating crisps and it interrupts with the filming.<\/p>\n
"That's why we're not really on it that much. That and George's language."<\/p>\n
Celebrity Gogglebox' star Gyles Brandreth previously lifted the lid on what it's like to appear on the hit show.<\/p>\n
The author and broadcaster appeared on numerous special Stand Up to Cancer editions of the Channel 4 programme alongside both Sheila Hancock and Maureen Lipman.<\/p>\n
He said: "They sent round Deliveroo with different treats: fish and chips, indeed the chocolate eclairs, the crisps and all of that.<\/p>\n
"So these little sweetmeats arrive and they like you to be seen bringing it in and you can hear that little chit-chat and then you have the snacks together. It's great fun."<\/p>\n
And you might have noticed that you'll never see Jenny and Lee with a glass or wine, or Giles and Mary with a beer.<\/p>\n
The cast don't drink alcohol on the show because they're not allowed. Producers thought drinking would cause cast members to slur their words on camera.<\/p>\n
Gogglebox continues on Friday at 9pm on Channel 4<\/b><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
