Friday Night Dinner fans are still reeling from that surprise exit in last week's episode, but life moves on in the Goodman household.

We've got an exclusive first-look clip at episode five 'The Cage' (which you can watch above) that teases what's next – and it involves "Auntie" Val (Tracy-Ann Oberman) trying out internet dating.

There's no way that goes wrong...

Perhaps the most surprising bit of the clip is that it seems to confirm that Jackie (Tamsin Greig) won't be cooking dinner this week.

While it's not the first time that the show has broken its established structure in having someone other than Jackie cooking, it does raise the question of what made Val have to cook the traditional Friday dinner instead.

And if you're wondering what 'The Cage' in the title of the episode refers to, we have a feeling it's something to do with Jim (Mark Heap) as most odd things in Friday Night Dinner usually do.

Last week's episode saw viewers brand Jim a 'magical killer' as it saw the death of Martin's (Paul Ritter) mother Cynthia (Rosalind Knight), AKA Horrible Grandma, after she suffered a heart attack during one of Jim's unique magic tricks.

It's not the first time that the show has killed off a fan favourite character (RIP Wilson), but it's safe to say that this death wasn't quite greeted with the same outpouring of emotions.

There's only two episodes left in Friday Night Dinner season six, which Simon Bird had revealed would "probably" be the last outing for the popular sitcom.

But creator Robert Popper quickly denied Bird's comments by saying he had "no plans to end it now".

Friday Night Dinner continues on Friday night (April 24) at 10pm on Channel 4.
