Googlebox star June revealed how Scousers were "really kind" after her husband Leon passed away.
Leon and June Bernicoff, from Allerton , won the hearts of the nation with their unbelievable on-screen chemistry.
Sadly Leon passed away in December 2017 - leaving June heartbroken.
But sitting on the BBC Breakfast sofa today June revealed how the public's reaction helped her get through her grief.
She said: "It was strange at first, Leon was always with me at the supermarket - usually at the deli counter looking for freebies.

"And so when people recognised me I could tell they wanted to say something to me but didn't know if they should come over, so I just smiled and then they approached me.
"So many people would squeeze my hand and ask me if I was OK and how I was doing.
"People were really, really kind."
June also said she enjoys watching re-runs of Gogglebox because she can hear Leon's voice through them.
She said: "It gives me comfort, he had such a distinctive voice, so to hear that again is good, I think I miss his voice more than anything else."
June revealed how the couple came to be on Gogglebox.
She said: "He was approached when he was playing bridge and he came home and said we're going to be on television - he thought it was gonna be the Leon Bernicoff show.

"It all went quiet for a few months, my family was worried about how he'd come across - Leon has no filter - and we all thought he'd say something we'd all regret.
"My daughters weren't keen."
Since Leon's death June has wrote a book about their love story - which she said has helped her through the grieving process.
She said: "I was was approached to do it, Leon always said ill write our love story one day - like it was something remarkable.
"But when he died I thought yeah I'll do it.
"It helped me to focus on that instead of dwelling on my sadness."
