WATCH: Jenny is often in tears on Gogglebox - much to Lee's amusement!

The moment that saw Cillian Murphy's character Tommy Shelby contemplate taking his own life as his caravan and all his possessions went up in flames proved particularly emotional for Jenny, who could be seen wiping away her tears. However, her pal Lee was quick to remind her that it was just a show, exclaiming: "It's Peaky Blinders!"

The duo's hilarious friendship has made Jenny and Lee firm favourites among Gogglebox audiences. In fact, the pair are so close that they even decided to self-isolate together for nine weeks so they could safely film the last series of the show, leaving their respective partners at home. Jenny is married to husband Ryan, and Lee has been with his partner Steve for the past 26 years.

Speaking at the time, former creator Tania Alexander shared an amusing update on the pair, telling The Telegraph: "Lee openly admits that Jenny has caused chaos since her arrival."

She continued: "He told me she'd put up a washing line and the gardener, not knowing it was there, came round the corner on his drivable lawnmower and went straight through it. 'Not only did he get a mouthful of Jenny's knickers but ended up dragging them, and a few of her bras halfway round the caravan park."
