Gogglebox's Lee jets back to Cyprus to reunite with partner after living with Jenny

Gogglebox favourite Lee Riley has reunited with his partner after eight months apart.

His partner Steve has been in Cyprus while he stayed in Hull with best pal Jenny Newby, spending the last 11 weeks living together in a covid bubble to film for the show.

But with the show on a break until the autumn, it's allowed them to go back to their usual lives, and for lucky Lee, that involves jetting to Cyprus to see his partner of almost 30 years.

Along with a sunny snap of him and Steve smiling in the sunshine, he told fans: "After 8 long months in England it feels amazing to be finally back home here in sunny northern Cyprus in time for our 27th anniversary.

Last November it was revealed that Steve had managed to fly over to the UK to see his other half (and Jenny).

The fun-loving trio shared a photo of themselves on a beach walk near the caravan park in Hull where they film the show.

As one of the longest serving pairs on the programme - and some might say the funniest - fans love knowing about what they are getting up to, especially when the cameras are off.

Two weeks ago they worried fans when they appeared to hint they were parting ways and leaving the show, but were quick to clarify Jenny was just leaving to go home to her husband.

He tweeted: "Thanks for watching everyone time for Jenny to see her husband after 3 months with me.

"Really going to miss her tho have a great summer everyone. SEE YOU ALL IN SEPTEMBER xx."
