Durham Gogglebox star Georgia Bell shares exciting pregnancy update with best pal Abbie

Gogglebox's Georgia gave best pal Abbie, along with Channel 4 viewers, an insight into her labour preparations on Friday as she gets ready to welcome her first child.

The Durham 21-year-old was back on our screens on Friday alongside best friend Abbie Lynn, 20. She's previously announced that she's expecting her first child, a son, with her boyfriend Josh in July - and in the last episode of the series she revealed it's time to start preparing for the new arrival.

The charismatic pair had a giggle about the stress of getting ready for the big day, The Manchester Evening News reports.

Georgia told Abbie: "Went to the midwife the other day and she said, ‘oh you should start packing your hospital bag'...

"I went 'you what?', she went, 'you know, your little hospital bag', and I said 'what the hell do I put in that?'."

She then asked Abbie: 'What do you put in a hospital bag?' before explaining how the midwife had suggested taking snacks for her and her boyfriend in case they get hungry.

Georgia said. "She gave us a good few ideas, but the one thing she kept stressing about was snacks. "I was like ‘snacks? As in food?’, she said, ‘yes, for you and Josh’, and I was like ‘why?'."

Although Abbie had an alternative suggestion to the midwife's advice.

She said: "Really? No, you know what, there’s a little café in the hospital that you’re going to and they do some alright food in there. My dad once had a cheesy bean jacket potato there, so if Josh gets hungry he can go down to the café and get something there."

Georgia then said: "What if he misses the birth of his son, and he’s sat there eating a jacket potato?", to which Abi replied: “Oh God, yeah…that’s the risk you’ve gotta take!"

Later in the episode the pair caused some raised eyebrows with a comment about the 'olden days'. Friday's episode saw the Goggleboxers being shown a Top of the Pops segment from 1992 featuring Boney M - and it was clear they had no idea what was going on.

Watching the clip, Abbie said: "I’ve never seen this before," to which Georgia remarked: "It looks ancient!’ Abbie then continued: "I think it’s out of the olden days." And it didn't end there when Abbie ended up adding: "I feel like we need to be watching this in black and white."

It's fair to say the comment didn't go down with Gogglebox viewers of a certain age. @iced_mochaaa tweeted: "The geordie girls are 21 and 22 and they just said 90s top of the pop was ancient?? [crying emoji] #gogglebox." @Stepharrnee laughed and cried in equal measure: "'TOTP looks ancient, like the olden days.' 1992."
