Gogglebox icons Dave and Shirley Griffiths look unrecognisable in throwback snap

Gogglebox icons Dave and Shirley Griffiths looked completely different in an incredible throwback picture.

Fans were impressed when the TV stars took to Twitter to post a photo from their past Benidorm holiday.

"These were great times, #Benidorm holidays," they wrote along with a 'fun in the sun' hashtag.

In the snap, Dave, Shirley and a pal could be seen sitting on a sofa as they all posed for the camera.

Dave held up a beer while Shirley cheekily kicked her left leg in the air while smiling with joy.

Shirley rocked a brunette curly perm and donned a yellow button-up minidress while Dave kept it simple in a chequered button-up top and brown trousers.

Viewers were in awe and rushed to the comment section to compliment the pair on the lovely photo.

"Omg I love it u two honestly are the best love ya both hahahaha," one user said, prompting Dave and Shirley to respond: "Aww thanks so much."

Another posted: "Love this photo! You both look fantastic," while one joked: "Shirley you've just kept your modesty there girl! Beautiful couple."

"Wow what fabulous legs Shirley," one person complimented and another said: "OMG couldn’t recognise you both. I was going to scroll on. Great pic."

The sweet throwback snaps comes after Dave and Shirley missed last week's episode of Channel 4's Gogglebox.

Fans were concerned and asked where they were.

Issuing a statement on Twitter, Dave told fans: "Shirley was a bit under the weather last week, thanks for your concern see you next week xx."

Dave and Shirley Griffiths are a husband and wife duo from Caerphilly in South Wales and have been much-loved cast members of the show.

The couple is well-known for their hilarious commentary on television and the playful way they take the mick out of each other and joined the series in 2015 after being spotted by a casting agent.

Outside of their appearances in the series, Dave also works as a cleaner in a factory and Shirley works in retail.

The pair have two grown-up children, Simon and Gemma, and love spending time with their family in local pubs.
