Gogglebox fans 'gutted' as Lee Riley swaps UK for Cyprus

Gogglebox's Lee Riley has landed in Cyprus after filming for season 19 ended.

The star has been missing from recent episodes after best friend Jenny Newby underwent a "mini" operation last month. Jenny has taken some time out while she recuperates.+

Away from their famous caravan in Hull, Lee has been in a happy relationship with Steve for some 28 years. Steve lives in Cyprus and Lee often travels to the Mediterranean island to spend some quality time with his long-term boyfriend.
