Series 15 of Gogglebox may have come to an end on Friday, but that doesn't mean cast favourites Jenny and Lee have stopped entertaining their fans with their amazing friendship.

The pair, who moved in together during filming for series 15 so they could continue to film together during lockdown, have shared a 16-year-old photo as they enjoyed a cruise back in 2004.

Dressed up and looking dapper, Jenny can be seen holding a bunch of flowers in the lovely photo, whilst Lee wears a suit and grins to the camera.

Uploading the photo to their Instagram page, Lee wrote, 'Old photo 16years ago of me and Jenny on a cruise taking the p--s and no before you ask we didn’t get married 😂😂😂😂😂😂'. (sic)

Fans were quick to comment on the cute throwback photo, one user wrote, 'You two should have a show of your own ! Bloody hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣', with another jokingly saying, 'And yet you act like you've been married for years 😆😆'. (sic)

A third commented, 😂 Love watching you both on gogglebox by far the favourites especially in our house x'. (sic)

See the full Gogglebox cast below:

Ellie and Izzi Warner

Sisters Ellie and Izzi Warner from Leeds have also become fan favourites after first joining the show in 2015.


Izzi gave birth to a beautiful baby girl called Bessie Rose in early 2020, whilst Ellie recently announced she was expecting her first child with her boyfriend Nat.


In early 2022, Izzi also introduced fans to her brand new puppy called Cookie.


Ellie and Izzi took a break from Gogglebox during season 19, following Ellie's boyfriend Nat being left 'fighting for his life' after he was hit by a car during a night out in Leeds in March. Ellie later revealed on 13th May that her and sister Izzi would be returning to our screens that night, thanking fans for their well wishes.


Ellie and Izzi returned for series 24.

Pete and Sophie

Brother and sister duo Pete and Sophie Sandiford have become one of the most popular castings in Gogglebox history! The funny siblings first joined the cast in 2017.


It seems that comedy runs in the family for these two, with the recent revelation that the pair are related to none other than Paul Chuckle himself!


After getting married to his girlfriend Paige Yeomans, the pair welcomed their first child into the world in 2021, with little Jimmy already making an appearance on Gogglebox. In December 2022, Pete then confirmed Paige is pregnant with the couple's second child.


During series 21, Pete confirmed the birth of his second child, and the pair returned for series 24.

Jenny and Lee

Best friends Jenny and Lee are also back, they first joined the show on series 4 back in 2014! The pair have us in fits of giggles with their banter both on and off the show.


Jenny and Lee, who film the show from Lee's caravan in Hull, have been best friends for over 20 years and often delight fans by sharing throwback photos of each other.


In series 19, Jenny and Lee took a break from the show after Jenny underwent surgery for a minor illness. However, the pair were back for series 20 and have appeared on the show since.

The Malone family

The Malone family, made up of Tom, Julie, Tom Jnr and Shaun, are one of the most popular families with fans. They first joined the cast in 2014.


In February 2021, just one day before series 17, Tom Jr announced he'd quit the show.


In March 2021, Tom and Julie's daughter Vanessa joined the show! During series 20, the Malone family also introduced their brand new puppy. In October 2023, the family revealed the sad news that their beloved dog Dave had sadly passed away.

Abbie and Georgia

Durham girls Abbie and Georgia first joined the show back in 2018.


In 2022, just one month before series 19 hit our screens, Georgia announced she was expecting her first baby. After giving birth to a baby boy in July, baby Hugh James Newby occasionally appears.

Dave and Shirley

Welsh couple Dave and Shirley, who have been married for over 40 years, first joined the show back in 2015 and have been fan favourites since.

The Siddiqui family

The Siddiqui family, made up of Umar, Baasit and their dad Sid, have become Gogglebox legends since joining the show back in series 1.


Brother Raza also occasionally makes an appearance on the show, but due to working away, he can't always commit to filming.

Giles and Mary

Gogglebox fans fell in love with Giles and his wife Mary when they joined the cast in 2015, mainly due to Giles' hilarious stories... Much to Mary's annoyance.

The Worthingtons

The Worthingtons, made up of Alison, her husband George and her daughter Helena, joined the cast in series 10. In 2019, Helena welcomed a baby boy called Edwin, and he's already made his debut.

Amira and Iqra first joined the show back in 2017 with their other friend Amani, but now it's just the two of them leaving viewers in stitches with their comments.

Joining the cast for series 18, Simon and his sister Jane appeared on the box for the first time on 22nd October 2021 and have been regular cast members since.

Ronnie and Annie

Joining the cast in November 2021 was Ronnie and his wife Annie!

Michael, Sally, Jake and Harry

Ahead of episode four of series 24, Gogglebox bosses announced a brand new family had joined the show, in the form of Michael, Sally, Jake and Harry from Kent.

After discovering that Friday night's (22nd May) episode was the last in the current series, viewers of Gogglebox urged Channel 4 bosses to continue filming throughout lockdown.

However, although we have to wait until September for the new series, don't panic, because it's been announced that Celebrity Gogglebox will return on Friday 5th June. As well as the usual famous faces that appear, Harry Redknapp and his wife Sandra have joined the show, as well as Love Island's Laura Whitmore and Iain Stirling!

We can't wait! 🙌
