Gogglebox fan favourites Lee and Jenny left fans in hysterics as they reacted to the news on the coronavirus pandemic.
Earlier this week, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that the public should avoid going to pubs, clubs and bars as well as non-essential contact.
This comes prior to it being announced this evening that all leisure places, including pubs, would close tonight until further notice to combat COVID-19.
But the stars of the hit Channel 4 show reacted the previous news which left Jenny and Lee - in particular - worried about as they inched away from one another on the sofa.
However Lee lightened the mood with a sharp retort to Jenny when she worriedly asked: "Should we put something on the door?"
"A sign on the door?" he repeated. "It's not the f***ing Black Death, Jenny."
And fans were in tears of laughter, with one tweeting: "‘It’s not the Black Death Jenny’ IM CRYING #Gogglebox."
While another commented: "#Gogglebox Jenny bloody brilliant."
One wrote: "It's not the black death jenny! #Gogglebox."
Lee's witty remarks weren't the only bit of dark humour available to viewers this evening.
A man ironically dressed as a plague doctor was also spotted wandering behind a presenter during a live BBC News segment earlier today.
As the female presenter spoke live from Leicester Square as she gave an update on the coronavirus pandemic, the male member of the public provided some much-needed bit of light relief with the stunt live on air.
Sharing the clip online, a viewer tweeted: "Bravo the guy dressed up as a plague doctor during tonight's news in Leicester Square #CoronaCrisis."
Another quipped: "'Crossing live to Leicester Square and there’s not only Paddington Bear sitting here minding his own business, but also a man in a 17th century plague mask.'"
