Gogglebox favourites Jenny and Lee delight fans with 16-year-old throwback picture

Gogglebox veterans Lee Riley and Jenny Newby have delighted fans with a throwback snap from 16 years ago.

The pair have proved just how long they’ve been friends with the picture, which was taken in 2004 on a cruise ship.

The best friends appear on the Channel 4 series every week, with filming taking place in Lee’s caravan in Hull.

During the coronavirus lockdown, they have both been staying at Lee's caravan, but with the series having come to a close, Jenny will now move out for a while.

The throwback snap posted on Lee’s Instagram features him with dark brown hair while Jenny clutches a bouquet of flowers.

Lee captioned the photo: “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 125,000 Instagram followers loved the snap and praised the couple for their constant hilarity.

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

Another said: “Love you two so much. You always brighten up my Fridays.”

This picture is the second throwback the hilarious pair have shared since joining Instagram in March.

Another was posted in April, with the pair looking even younger, Lee captioning the photo: “A blast from the past.”

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

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