Gogglebox star Jenny Newby has thanked her co-star and ‘bezzie mate’ Lee Riley in a cheeky but heartfelt message after finally receiving a BAFTA TV award.
The popular Channel 4 show won Best Reality and Constructed Factual at the awards back in May, but Jenny was unable to appear on the red carpet due to being in hospital. The fan favourite pair, who often leave viewers in stitches with their banter as they watch TV highlights of the week from Lee’s caravan, were missing from some episodes of the last series while Jenny underwent an operation .
But Lee confirmed that the pair will return in the upcoming new series of Gogglebox, which is due to start on September 9 on Channel 4. And Jenny was all smiles as she gave her belated BAFTA acceptance speech from her garden in a video to Lee, The Mirror reports .
