Jenny's adorable great-granddaughter told Lee she called her great-grandmother "grandy" and then hilariously informed her it was her hair and her glasses that made her old. Lee then chimed in, "and her wrinkly skin?"

Since first appearing on the Channel 4 show in 2014, Jenny and Lee have become Gogglebox royalty, winning fans over with their hilarious double act from their caravan in Hull. The much-loved duo go way back, first meeting when Jenny was the landlady of a pub Lee was a regular customer in.

Since meeting at The Crown Inn in Hull, the armchair critics have become inseparable - with Lee even describing his longtime pal as family in the past. In June, Jenny and Lee revealed to fans that they had been living it up in Cyprus alongside Lee's long-term partner, Steve Mail. Jenny stayed at Lee and Steve’s property, which they have made a "home away from home" in Cyprus.
