Dave and Shirley Griffiths always look like they're having lots of fun giving their opinions on the week’s television. And it's no wonder! The Gogglebox stars told new! that they are keeping their spirits up when they work through the long filming day from their home in Caerphilly, South Wales, with a little bit of help from the booze cabinet. Shirley exclusively told us: “Sometimes me and Dave have a little bit too much… We get a little bit drunk!” Get exclusive celebrity stories and fabulous photoshoots straight to your inbox with OK!'s daily newsletter.

First up, their day begins when the crew turn up on a Sunday and start filming about 3pm. Dave says: “we get some snacks in as we’ve got a pretty long watch.Things like crisps, nuts, chocolate…” Adds Shirley: “We just buy what we want and they pay for it!” Fans of the show will also know that they never sit in different seats, and that’s non-negotiable says Shirley.
“That’s the position we always sit in anyway!” What is surprising, however, is that the Gogglebox gang of families, couples, and friends don’t ever get to meet one another. Shirley says that the only time was at the National Television Awards. “I spoke to Jenny [Newby] and Lee [Riley].” Says Dave: “I’ve spoken to them on social media – wished them happy birthday, and they posted different things which I commented on.
And we’ve had replies from them. But it’s funny, having never met them. I suppose like the rest of the nation, you feel as though you know them anyway.
