The pub where Jenny Newby and Lee Riley met is facing the threat of demolition.
The Gogglebox stars have established themselves as fan favourites on the popular Channel 4 programme with their hilarious observations on the week's best TV. The two first met over 20 years ago at the Crown Inn in Paull, East Yorkshire.
Jenny worked as the landlady and Lee was a regular customer - and their relationship blossomed at the pub. However, the building could soon be torn down after an application was made to build houses on the land.

A developer has submitted a planning application proposing that part of the 150-year-old pub be demolished and replaced by six houses and three apartments. The local branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) has objected to the plans on the basis there is a chance it could reopen in the future as a pub.
However, Paull Parish Council have supported the plans, but only if developers agree to change some of the houses to two-bedroomed cottages. In response to the planning application, the council wrote: “We would support the bulk of the Crown application, however we would like to see the Crown frontage returned to the three original windows, and made into 3 x 2 bedroomed cottages.
“We feel that there is a greater need for housing , and very little need for the units which are in the proposal which apparently has been driven by the Environment Agency.”
East Riding of Yorkshire Council's planning committee will decide the pub's fate on August 8.
