Gogglebox's Lee Riley has given an update as best friend Jenny Newby recovers from an operation.
Lee and Jenny have established themselves as fan favourites on the show for their hilarious observations on the week's best TV. However, viewers were concerned when the reality TV stars were absent from the most recent episode.
The popular Channel 4 programme picked up the prize for Best Reality and Constructed Factual show at last night's prestigious ceremony. Lee attended the glitzy bash to pick up the award on behalf of the Gogglebox cast.

Lee spoke to the Daily Star on the red carpet ahead of the BAFTAs and explained Jenny is recovering after receiving treatment. He said: " She is not very well, she is having an operation, a mini one, but she is recovering well though.
"She was invited but the appointment was in BAFTA week. You can't turn down an NHS operation down can you? But she is doing well."
On Monday, Lee issued an update to the pair's many Instagram followers. He said: "She has had an operation but it's been on the waiting list for two years, and it came BAFTA week. I was totally gutted she couldn't be by my side last night, and she was as well. But she's doing well and she's out this week".
Fans flocked to the comments section to wish Jenny well. Perry Barrellie said: "Feel better soon Jenny", while Emma Ledgard said: "Love you two, have me in stitches. Glad she's doing good".
Laus Seismen said: "Get well soon Jenny. Glad she's doing well". Annette Hope said: "Sending her love. We adore you both."
