Jenny Newby from Gogglebox stole the spotlight on Friday night as she celebrated a milestone birthday. Viewers watching Channel 4 were treated to a heartwarming moment when Jenny’s best friend Lee Riley surprised her with a cupcake topped with sparklers, revealing that she had turned 70. Lee serenaded her with a rendition of ‘happy birthday’, but being the prankster that he is, he couldn’t resist giving Jenny a little scare – a common occurrence between the two on the show. The scare tactic worked like a charm as Jenny almost dropped her cupcake in shock, causing a shoulder ache from her sudden reaction to save the cake. But the mischief didn’t stop there, as at the end of the show, Lee pulled another fast one on Jenny, as reported by Wales Online.
Fans of the show took to Twitter to express their love and send birthday wishes to Jenny, with many commenting on the hilarious antics between Lee and Jenny. One viewer mentioned how their own mother had also celebrated a milestone birthday recently, while another simply wished Jenny a happy 70th birthday. Others found humor in Jenny’s near mishap with the cupcake and enjoyed seeing Lee’s pranks on the show. As the episode came to an end, sibling duo Jane and Simon Minty announced that it was the series finale, with a compilation of the best moments expected to air the following Friday.
In a clip shared online, Simon expressed his surprise at how quickly the series had flown by, while Jane reminded viewers that they could catch the last episode on Friday night on Channel 4. Dave and Shirley Griffiths, the beloved Welsh couple on the show, also confirmed their return for another series in September, delighting fans. Additionally, viewers can look forward to a celebrity version of Gogglebox hitting screens in June. The show is available to watch on All4, providing endless entertainment for its dedicated audience.
