Fans' message to Jenny Newby and Lee Riley as Gogglebox favourites chosen

Fans have sent a message to Gogglebox as they chose their favourite family on the hit TV show.

Gogglebox started in 2013 and since then viewers have been treated to over 20 seasons of fly-on-the-wall TV observations from some of their favourite faces. Many of the couples and families who feature on the show have been on it for a decade now, and have become well-loved by viewers.

We asked Gogglebox fans who their favourite characters on the show are and the response to our poll was resoundingly clear, with one couple strides ahead from the rest in the eyes of its most avid viewers.

It may come as no surprise to many that Jenny Newby and Lee Riley came in first place with over twice the number of votes as the next runners-up. The two friends watch the telly from Lee's iconic caravan in Hull and have been fan favourites for a long time now, years after first joining the show in its fourth series.

In second place came Pete and Sophie Sandiford, a Blackpool brother-sister pair who got half the amount of votes of Jenny and Lee. The pair were only introduced in 2017 in the series' tenth season, but have since captured the hearts of fans and viewers with their chemistry and witty one-liners.

Following Pete and Sophie closely were Giles and Mary, a married couple living in Wiltshire who met when they were just 21 years old. The pair joined in 2015, in the fifth series of the show, and have captured the hearts of fans with their wit and their wallpaper which matches the furniture.

In fourth place were the Siddiquis - one of the shows most iconic families who have been on it since the very beginning. The family, which includes dad Sid and brothers Baasit and Umar, live in Derbyshire and are still going strong on the show a decade later remaining a firm fan favourite.
