Jenny from Gogglebox keeps her mystery man at home while filming show with pal Lee

On-screen, Gogglebox couple Jenny and Lee are as close as two peas in a pod.

But off-screen, mystery surrounds her real-life romance as he husband, Ray, has never appeared on the hit show.

And Lee has been in a relationship with partner Steve for nearly 30 years, The Mirror reports.

Gogglebox's Lee and Jenny (Channel 4)

Jenny and Lee met some 20 years ago when Lee became a regular at Jenny's local pub The Crown Inn in Paull, in East Yorkshire.

She told Ireland's Big Issue: "He became a regular in 1994 and used to come in pretty much every night with his partner and we were friends from the off.

"We’ve been best friends ever since."

Their Gogglebox teaming started when Jenny asked Lee if he wanted to do a test filming with her.

The Hull pair went on to film for the show from 2014 in Lee's caravan in Patrington Haven caravan park.

They remain close off-screen and holiday together.

During the first national lockdown they isolated in Lee's caravan to ensure they could film Gogglebox amid the coronavirus pandemic.

They have built a hugely supportive fan base and their friendship has continued to flourish.

Bristol's own Mary and Marina, meanwhile, still haven't been seen this series - hopefully they'll be back soon. In the meantime, we still have local representation with the Plummer brothers.

Gogglebox airs at 9pm on Channel 4 every Friday.
