Gogglebox: Lee and Jenny fans call for duo to have their own show after hilarious workout video

The Channel 4 stars appear to be isolating together during lockdown

Gogglebox stars Lee Riley and Jenny Newby have left fans in hysterics with a hilarious workout video in lockdown.

The TV duo, who appear on the Channel 4 reality series from the comfort of Lee’s caravan in Hull, gave an insight into life beyond the sofa on Instagram today (November 13).

The clip showed Jenny dressed in a grey tracksuit as she attempted to run laps around the caravan park.

Despite her best efforts, the 64-year-old only managed to run a short distance before complaining about a blister.

Lee, 51, laughed in the background as Jenny hobbled back to his mobile home.

Captioning the clip, he wrote: “OMG it’s Friday 13th. It’s Gogglebox day and Jenny starts her keep fit for lockdown 2.

“That went real well. See you all at 9 #Gogglebox @C4Gogglebox.”

While Lee and Jenny don’t usually live together, the best pals previously self-isolated during the first UK lockdown in March.

Addressing their living arrangements on social media, Lee wrote at the time: “Thank you for all the lovely tweets and love from you all makes it all worth while isolating with Jenny. JOKING.

“Hope you enjoyed the show big thanks to the crew, the cast, stay safe stay healthy stay in #Gogglebox goodnight goggleboxers.”

It appears the two have also got the current month-long lockdown covered.
