VINTAGE PAIR

Gogglebox fans go wild for Jenny and Lee’s unrecognisable 16-year throwback snap

GOGGLEBOX'S Lee Riley proved just how long he's been friends with telly partner Jenny Newby with an incredible throwback pic.

The pair have been friends for decades and were recently holed up in Lee's Hull caravan to shoot the Channel 4 show.

Gogglebox fans love the pair's humour and closeness, which Lee proudly put on display in the Instagram throwback post.

He shared a photo of them together on a 2004, smiling widely and dressed smartly for the professional pic.

Lee sporting a brunette hairdo and wearing a dark suit with white shirt has his arm around Jenny who is dressed in a formal black dress.

She is rocking a short brown stylish haircut and holding a big bouquet of flowers.

Lee hilariously quipped that the photo was not of their wedding.

He wrote on Instagram: "Old photo 16 years ago of me and Jenny on a cruise taking the p**s and no before you ask we didn’t get married."

Their 118,000 Instagram followers were quick to shower the pair with praise.

One Instagram user wrote: "You two should have a show of your own! Bloody hilarious."

The walk down memory lane came as fans were shocked to learn the iconic Hull caravan which featured on Gogglebox actually belonged to Lee.

Many viewers have assumed for years that the static home belonged to her - so were astonished when he ordered her out on tonight's episode.

She asked him: "Just think Lee, what you going to do when I go home? I'll miss you when I go home. Have you bought me a leaving present?"

He replied: "Yeah. A f***ing suitcase."

The pair have been isolating together for the duration of the current series, which is why they have been able to appear together each week.

But, with the series coming to a close, he ordered her out - leaving viewers shocked that it was his place all along.

One fan boggled: "I always assumed it was Jenny’s caravan !! Only taken me 15 series’s to realise it’s Lee's !! FGS 🤦🏻‍♀️😂😂😂😂."

Another said: "Madness. I thought that was Jenny’s caravan after about 20 series of watching. Madness."

The pair also revealed that this week's episode is the last of the series and that the show will not return now until September.

Jenny and Lee tweeted from their joint account: "Happy #Gogglebox Friday or is it 😢😢?"

They became friends when Jenny was the landlady of a pub called The Crown Inn in Paull, East Riding, and Lee was a regular.
