OHMYGOSSIP — Jenny Newby has paid tribute to ‘Gogglebox’ co-star Lee Riley after she missed most of the last series due to illness.
The two friends have become fan favourites on the Channel 4 show, and the hit series won a BAFTA earlier this year in the Best Reality and Constructive Factual category.
Jenny, 66, had to miss the ceremony due to surgery, but she finally has her trophy and she delivered a belated acceptance speech from her back garden.
In a video shared by Lee on their joint Instagram account, she said: “Hiya, Lee. It’s only me. I’ve got my BAFTA.
“I know I couldn’t be there with you on the night. I swapped my evening gown for my theatre gown, and my black stocking for surgical stockings and my silver clutch bag for a catheter bag.
“But all in all, I never got to say thank you for the support you gave me through the pandemic when we were filming.
“The things that you did for me. Like, giving me that 9ft by 5ft bedroom, wall to wall walls, and enough room under the bed for my Pot Noodle and a packet of fags.
“And the one shelf you gave me in the kitchen. And I had to stand on a step to get to it.
“But I just want to say, all in all, Lee, thank you very much for being my bezzie mate and I’m hoping to see you soon.”
And Lee hinted they’ll be filming very soon, as he shared the video over the weekend with a promising caption.
He wrote: “This is why I love this woman. Thank you for your kind words Jenny. See you next week”.
He added a camera and TV emoji, suggesting they could be getting ready to do some filming.
‘Gogglebox’ is set to return to Channel 4 for a new series on September 9.
