Author: Emma DoddsPublished 7th Aug 2020

Gogglebox duo Jenny and Lee are one of viewers' absolute favourite telly watchers from the show. Having been on the programme since 2014, the best pals from Hull delight fans up and down the country with their caring friendship and hilarious quips.

However, the pair like to keep their personal lives private - so a brand new photo of Lee with his partner of 26 years has been a ray of sunshine for fans who are missing the show after it finished earlier this year.

Lee revealed whilst the show was on that he'd been in lockdown with Jenny, with the pair choosing to move in together in order to continue filming Gogglebox and adhere to government restrictions.

And he's now reunited with his partner of 26 years, Steve, as shown in a heartwarming set of snaps on Steve's Instagram with the caption, 'Had the best time with the love of my life in our favourite restaurant love you to the moon and back Lee Gogglebox 💕#veniVinci #Cyprus 2020 #summernights #datenight #specialtimes❤️#Gogglebox.'

How cute that he's called him Lee Gogglebox!

Delighted fans have taken to the comments to express their joy at the reunion, with many commenting on what a wonderful couple Steve and Lee make. One wrote, 'You two look really happy 👋🏼,' as another added, 'Look at the colour of yous 2, not jealous at all! Glad you both had a fab night 😍😘.' One other joked, 'Oh so you left Jenny locked in the caravan lol 😂.'
