Gogglebox's Jenny and Lee issue apology to fans as they return to social media with news

Gogglebox stars Jenny Newby and Lee Riley jokingly issued an apology to fans as they shared some big news. The pair are a big hit with fans of the Channel 4 show and viewers have missed seeing them on-screen.

It's been months since the last series of the Channel 4 favourite came to an end with the much-loved armchair critics taking a break from dishing their thoughts and opinions on the latest TV shows and breaking news events. But after a special festive episode over the Christmas period, the likes of Jenny and Lee, the Siddiquis, the Malones, sisters Izzi and Ellie Warner and sibling duo Sophie and Pete Sandiford haven't been seen on-screen.

But that is all set to change on Friday night (February 24) as Gogglebox finally returns to screens. And fans were overjoyed to see an update from best pals Jenny and Lee, who have appeared on the show from Lee's caravan since 2014.

Sharing a video of themselves to their joint Instagram account, their first post since December, the TV favourites exclaimed: "Hi, we’re back!" Jenny then went on to say: "We’re still the same, still sat on the sodding lumpy cushions," before Lee joked, “We’re still as daft as ever."

Jenny quipped: "Yeah – you’re right there!" Lee then confirmed that they were back filming and that they'd be in the first episode as Jenny added she was "looking forward to it!" But as they shared the post, they issued an apology. "Sorry folks we are back see you all on Friday 9pm @c4gogglebox #gogglebox," they typed.

But as far as fans were concerned, they didn't need to apologise. @hannylady44 said: "I missed you guys can't wait for Friday." @enchantingalana
