Llinos Griffin-Williams, S4C's chief content officer, said: "I'm so excited that this amazingly successful series is coming to S4C. It's a great pleasure to have Gogglebocs Cymru as part of S4C's 40th celebrations. It's a fantastic TV format, which has captured the nation's imagination.

"What better than a programme that brings us Welsh talent at grassroots level? Gogglebocs Cymru will extend a warm welcome into households around the country and beyond. We will meet several characters who reflect contemporary Wales in all its glory, new faces that give our diverse communities a voice."
