Gogglebox: Who is Lesley Land as tribute aired at end of show

Gogglebox paid a tribute to Lesley Land at the end of the show on Friday night (December 9).

Lesley died aged 41 on December 3. She was a long-time publicist at Channel 4 and had worked on a number of shows including Gogglebox, The Big Narstie Show and The Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan.

The show paid tribute to her with a simple message. It read: "In loving memory of Lesley Land. 1981-2022."

In a statement at the time of her death, Channel 4 said: “Everyone at Channel 4 is deeply saddened by the news that our long-standing colleague and friend, Lesley Land, passed away last Friday.

“Lesley joined Channel 4 in 2014. She was the driving force of many of Channel 4’s most memorable press campaigns of the last decade, including ‘ Gogglebox,’ ‘Baby Hospital,’ ‘The Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan,’ ‘Stand Up To Cancer,’ ‘TFI Friday,’ ‘The Big Narstie Show’ and ‘Miriam & Alan’ – delivering them all with her typical flair and panache.

"Her most recent project was ‘Jews Don’t Count.’ She said she had never been prouder to work on a programme.”

The statement continued: “Lesley was a wonderful friend, a generous colleague and made tremendous fun wherever she went. But ultimately family was at the core of Lesley’s life.

"Our hearts go out to them at this devastating time. Much loved by all who knew her, she will be sorely missed.”
