Gogglebox’s Jenny and Lee reveals when show will return after series finale

Gogglebox has basically been the only thing keeping us entertained lately, what with lockdown and Tier 2/3 restrictions keeping us indoors most of the time, so we were gutted when the latest series came to end last week.

Thankfully though, two of our favourite faces from the show, Jenny and Lee, have revealed when it will be back on our screens and it turns out we won’t have to wait too long.

The lovable pair from Hull recorded a video message to wish their fans Merry Christmas and let slip just when Gogglebox will return.

“Hi everybody, we’d just like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas,” Lee began before Jenny added, “And a Happy New Year.”

Lee continued, “We’d like to thank you all for supporting me and Jenny and for all the lovely comments you tweet us each week. We do read them and we do have a laugh reading some of them – mostly because of her [Jenny].”

Arguably the shows biggest export, Scarlett Moffatt has gone on to do some incredible things since leaving the show in 2016, winning I’m a Celeb and landing presenting roles on Extra Camp and Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway.

The rest of the family are still thick as thieves, as Scarlett’s recent tribute to her dad Mark proves. After Scarlett gained celeb status, the whole family were axed, leaving Scarlett gutted – but they’re certainly enjoying her celeb status, with “secret” little sister Ava making pals with Joe Swash’s son Harry, and glitzy parties galore.

The Tappers were the super loud family of four from North London, but had their spot on Gogglebox rescinded after Amy’s stint on Celebs Go Dating, due to the producers “no celebs” rule.

But despite returning to their day jobs the family are still as tight knit as ever, with Nikki and Jonathon recently celebrating their 23rd wedding anniversary.

Jonathon – a chauffer – has recently shed 3 and half stone and is almost unrecognisable from his Gogglebox days and son Josh is a budding politician.

Sandi first crashed onto our screens alongside best friend Sandra, with their incredible nails and plentiful takeaways, and had to deny claims they’d fallen out after Sandra seemingly made a dig at Sandi’s ‘celebrity’ lifestyle after leaving the show.

Sandra decided to stay on the show for a time after Sandi left, and enlisted her daughter Chanchez to keep her company on the sofa.

Despite her fame and status as one of the most popular Goggleboxers ever, Sandra admitted to us last year that she was “broke” and moving into an over 55 home after being homeless for months.

Last year she announced she would be getting married to her unnamed boyfriend, but from her social media still looks to be single.

Another ‘boxer deemed ‘too sleb’ for the sofa, George Gibley’s time on Gogglebox came to an end after he appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2014, coming fourth, and snogging celebrity ladies Stephanie Pratt AND Edele Lynch.

After a brief return to the show, George’s life has taken a distinctly less glamorous turn, and last year narrowly avoiding prison when he was charged with trying to strangle his ex-girlfriend while their daughter slept upstairs.

Steph and Dom Parker are another Gogglebox family to have done very well for themselves since leaving the show in 2017. Their excellent comedic chemistry has landed them their own radio show on talkRadio, and they’ve hosted a number of telly shows, like 2014’s Steph and Dom meet Nigel Farage.

But there’s a serious side to the Sandwich dwelling, B&B owning couple, too. Earlier this year they hosted an investigative documentary looking into medical marijuana, as parents to severely epileptic son Max, 18.

Pat Webb is the mother of OG ‘boxer Stephen Webb and temporarily stepped in to replaced his ex and friend Chris when he left in 2017 (more on that in a bit).

We haven’t seen much of Mummy Pat since she left the show, and viewers weren’t happy to see her go, but she did rock a fascinator fabulously for Stephen’s wedding to husband Daniel Lustig.

Christopher Ashby-Steed joined Stephen Webb on the first EVER episode of Gogglebox in 2013. At first they were in a romantic relationship – but after they broke up, decided to continue working together on the show.

However, things eventually turned pretty sour between the two, and earlier this year Chris gave an interview with The Mirror where he claimed Stephen had “bullied” him off the show.

“A year on, I’ve finally had the courage to stand up to a bully and start to tell the story of how @Stephenwebb71 forced of off @C4Gogglebox and how it’s affected my mental health since,” he tweeted, adding that he’d received no mental health aftercare, which is an “industry-wide failing”.

He’s found his happy ever after, though, wit a new husband.

Leon and June Bernicoff were the hilarious elderly couple who had us alternatively in stitches/tears from the first episode, up until Leon’s tragic death in December 2017.

Deciding not to continue on the show without her husband, June has largely stepped out of the limelight but occasionally gives interviews, and wrote a memoir about her 62 year marriage called Leon and June: Life, Love and Laughter – Our Story.
