Dave and Shirley's luxurious home feature

Though Gogglebox viewers are certainly accustomed to seeing the inside of Dave and Shirley's living room each week, there's a lesser-seen part of the couple's home that is absolutely stunning. 

In a picture shared to the couple's official Instagram account, which now boasts nearly 200,000 followers, the pair inadvertently revealed this fancy feature.

With a beaming selfie encouraging fans to watch Gogglebox, fans spotted their skylight, filling their kitchen-diner with light.

Beside the window in the roof, there were two lights, allowing their space to remain fully illuminated after dark. 

The selfie also revealed a gorgeous rustic bookcase, filled with ornaments including a wooden sign reading: "home".

Dave and Shirley's garden

The Gogglebox stars' outdoor space is perfectly aligned with the theme of the rest of their home: small but stylish.
