A number of beloved cast members from Gogglebox are sadly no longer with us. These include June and Leon Bernicoff, Mary Cook, Andy Michael and, more recently, Peter McGarry. To remember those who have passed, read our tribute to them here.
Meanwhile, Lee, who has appeared on the programme alongside his good friend for the past ten years, then handed over the microphone to Jenny who said: "I'd just like to say thank you very much, I've enjoyed doing this TV programme for ten years it's been wonderful." The star then hesitated before adding: "And I'd just like to say, I'll be at yours on Friday night at 9 o clock," seemingly confirming the start date for the new series of Gogglebox.
