Gogglebox star Lee Riley has shared an epic throwback snap in honour of his pal Jenny Newby on her birthday.

The Channel 4 pair, who have a friendship that spans two decades, first rose to fame as sofa stars on Gogglebox in 2014 and have remained firm fan favourites.

And today marks Jenny's 65th birthday and Lee shared a special vintage snap onto Twitter as he wished her well wishes.

The best pals recently revealed they were no longer going to be living together in their iconic Hull-based caravan.

The pair had been holed up in the same caravan for nine weeks during filming, according to Hull Live.

However having finished filming, they have decided to live separately for a while.

Up until last month fans have long assumed that they were sitting on the sofa in Jenny's caravan.

One tweeted: "I always thought it was Jenny's caravan #Gogglebox."

While another commented: "Madness. I thought that was Jenny’s caravan after about 20 series of watching. Madness #Gogglebox."
