Gogglebox star Jenny Newby is in hospital, with best friend and co-star Lee Riley breaking the news after he accepted the show's BAFTA on Sunday night.
Having become firm favourites since they joined the Channel 4 series a few years ago, with many viewers declaring them as their top couple, there was concern on Friday night when Jenny and Lee were nowhere to be seen as the latest episode went out. And, after social media was filled with questions from viewers, wondering why they weren't on this week's Gogglebox, Lee set the record straight on the BAFTA TV Awards red carpet on Sunday night, when he told reporters Jenny, 65, 'hadn't been very well,' was in hospital.
"She is not very well, she is having an operation, a mini one, but she is recovering well though," he explained. "She was invited but the appointment was in BAFTA week. You can't turn down an NHS operation down can you? But she is doing well."
