Gogglebox stars Jenny Newby and Lee Riley will be raising their glasses this evening to celebrate Jenny’s 65th birthday.

In honour of the occasion, her best pal Lee, 51, shared a touching tribute to the reality star over Instagram, praising his beloved “sidekick”.

He wrote: “Wishing this legend my dearest friend, my sidekick JENNY A BIG HAPPY 65th BIRTHDAY, have a great day my lovely. Lee xx”

Accompanying the sweet message, Lee shared a snap of the duo dressed in black tie, trying to hold in their laughter before the camera.

Best friends for nearly 20 years, Lee and Jenny decided to isolate together – until last week – in his caravan during the lockdown.

The pals have been filming Gogglebox from Patrington Haven caravan park since 2014, though they live in separate homes in Hull.

Jenny and Lee first met when she was the landlady of a pub called The Crown Inn in Paull, and have been inseparable ever since.

Last week, Gogglebox viewers were heartbroken to the image of the empty caravan, signalling the end of series 15.

Bringing their self-isolation to an end, Jenny moved back in with her husband Ray, while Lee is waiting to reunite with his long-term partner Steve Mail.

The two friends have even inspired Gogglebox fans to beg Channel 4 for a spin-off show, sharing the hilarious day-to-day of their heartwarming friendship.

Until then, fans of the show can look forward to the series debut of Celebrity Gogglebox, which kicks off on June 5.
