Watch Gogglebox star Tom Malone Sr's hilarious review of Whitby Abbey and 199 steps

Gogglebox stars Tom and wife Julie are currently holidaying at the seaside in Whitby and soaking up some of the history.

But Tom Malone Sr is not all that impressed with the historic architecture of Whitby Abbey, if his recent Instagram video is anything to go by.

Appearing alongside wife Julie with the glorious Whitby Abbey behind them, the couple told fans about their trek up the 199 steps to get to the top.

Unimpressed Tom said: "199 steps! Why not do 200? Just add an extra step, Jesus Christ."

Tom admitted that he had "already had a few" as he lamented the many bars that the couple had left behind on their trip up the hill to Whitby Abbey.

Tom told fans: "So Julie's brought us up to Whitby here, lovely skies there, she's brought me up here today for another really old church."

"It's not a church, it's an abbey!" Julie corrected him.

And he responded: "It's an abbey, it's a beautiful wrecked building - if you're into wrecked buildings. ya know it's lovely. Look at that behind us.

"There's a lot of bars down there, I've had a couple already to be honest with you.

"199 steps in, why not do 200? Just add an extra step, Jesus Christ. Right, see you in a bit - to the bars in a bit!"

The Mancunian couple posted their first holiday video on Instagram yesterday afternoon, telling fans that they had just arrived in Whitby and were waiting to find out where they would be staying.

And in true Tom Malone Sr fashion, he said: "Gonna sample some of the local pubs, not the fish and chips!"
