Gogglebox fans all say same thing as Jenny shares photo of rarely-seen husband
Viewer of the hit Channel 4 show Gogglebox were left stunned after fan favourite Jenny Newby offered a rare glimpse of her husband, Ray. Jenny - who celebrated her 70th birthday earlier this year - and Lee Riley both joined the beloved show back in 2014, and it didn't take too long for them to become firm favourites.
Over the years, the Hull-based duo, who have been best friends for over 25 years, have had Gogglebox viewers in stitches thanks to their hilarious one-liners and strong bond.
Away from the show, Lee enjoys a loving relationship with partner Steve, whilst Jenny has been married to husband Ray for 50 years. And earlier this week, Lee left their fans shocked after he shared a rare snap of the pair the Manchester Evening News reports.
Taking to their joint Instagram account, Lee revealed it was Jenny and Ray's 50th wedding anniversary, sharing a photo of the couple from their special day in 1976.
Along with the throwback snap, the caption read: "Wishing my sidekick Jenny and Ray a happy 50th golden wedding anniversary who gets the medal."
Fans were quick to rush to the comment section to congratulate the couple. Some supporters gushed over the photo, however, many become fixated on Ray's impressive sideburns.
One fan hilariously declared: "Ray should get a medal for those sideburns alone. Epic." Another fan agreed, writing: "Was thinking the same."
A third then chimed in: "Jeez them sideburns have a life of their own." Echoing their thoughts, someone else jokingly wrote: "Bloody hell, look at those side burns. You could ski down them."
While others opted for a simple "congratulations" message, with a fifth fan writing: "Happy Anniversary Jenny And Ray. Have a day full of fun and laughter, which am sure with you Jenny it will be."
Lee and Jenny have been friends since 1994, when they first met at the pub where Jenny was a landlady.
Previously speaking about how they met, Jenny shared with Ireland's Big Issue magazine: "Lee was a customer at my pub, The Crown Inn in Paull. He became a regular in 1994 and used to come in pretty much every night with his partner and we were friends from the off. We've been best friends ever since."
Lee added: "I wish I've never gone in the pub – it cost me a fortune. When I first met her she had a perm and I can remember thinking, 'She needs a haircut'. We were firm friends immediately."
"I don't think we've ever had an argument. We're too placid to argue. She makes me laugh too much for me to ever fall out with her."
