Gogglebox star Lee Riley reunited with partner Steve in Cyprus after eight months apart

Googlebox star Lee Riley is back with his partner Steve Mail for their 27th anniversary – after eight months apart.

Steve shared a photo of the couple by the pool at their home in Northern Cyprus yesterday.

He said: "After eight long months in England it feels amazing to be finally back home here in sunny northern Cyprus in time for our 27th anniversary.

"Love you, Mr Riley – let the celebrations begin."

The couple had been separated during the coronavirus pandemic.

For 11 weeks between March and May, Lee had been living in his caravan in Hull with his Gogglebox partner and best friend Jenny Newby.

Lee and Jenny had been forced into a Covid bubble by Channel 4 bosses after filming the last series of the hit TV show. Jenny was allowed to leave Lee's caravan and return to her husband late last month.

Wellwisher Carol Newby replied: "Congratulations Steve and Lee. 27 years – wow that has passed.

"Glad you managed to get home to celebrate.

"Have a fantastic time."

Christine Morrissey commented: "Enjoy, you deserve it, but we miss you and Jenny."

And Toria Jayne commented: "Happy anniversary, both of you. Enjoy and wishing you both many more happy years together."
