Gogglebox star Tom Malone Sr celebrates his birthday today (Tuesday, April 19) and his son shared a tribute to him on social media to mark the special day.
Tom Jr shared a recent photo of the two, along with one from a few decades ago. The Malones have established themselves as fan favourites on the popular Channel 4 programme with their hilarious observations on the week's best TV.
While Tom Jr left the show last year to pursue new opportunities, Tom Sr and Julie are regularly joined on the iconic sofa with children Shaun and Vanessa. They have thrilled viewers as they have once again invited viewers into their home for season 19 of the beloved series.
