Jenny Newby Becomes a Great-Grandma Again with the Arrival of Adorable Olive-Mae
Gogglebox icon Jenny Newby has shared some heartwarming news with fans—she’s officially a great-grandmother for the third time! The 67-year-old TV star, who’s been entertaining audiences alongside her best friend Lee Rigby since 2014, has welcomed a new addition to her family.
In a sweet social media post shared on their joint Instagram account, Jenny proudly cradles her new great-granddaughter, Olive-Mae, who looks absolutely adorable in a tiny pink knitted hat. Jenny’s beaming smile says it all as she snuggles the newborn in her arms, surrounded by love and warmth. The caption read: “Congratulations Jenny on your new great granddaughter Olive-mae, more babysitting duties I think? 🤔 😂❤️ xx.”
Fans and co-stars were quick to offer their congratulations, with Ellie Warner sharing: “Congratulations Jenny and family 🥹😍,” and Izzi Warner adding: “Congratulations Jenny, she’s absolutely adorable 💕xx.”
The post quickly went viral, and fans couldn’t help but comment on Olive-Mae’s expressive face, with many joking that she has inherited Lee’s iconic “judging” look! One fan wrote: “Gorgeous baby, but she is giving you the same look Lee often gives you when you’re about to say something really wacky 🤪,” while another added, “She’s got Lee’s facial expression 😂❤️.”
Jenny’s family-focused nature shines through, as her great-grandkids have even made appearances on the show in the past. In May, Jenny’s great-grandson and granddaughter gave a quick cuddle before bed, with Lee playfully teasing Jenny by encouraging the youngsters to call her “old” and “wrinkly.” Fans were left in stitches when the kids humorously pointed out Jenny’s glasses and wrinkles—making for some hilarious moments on the show!
As summer sets in, Jenny and Lee are taking a break from Gogglebox, but fans won’t have to wait long for their return. The beloved duo will be back on our screens in September, and Jenny jokingly predicted she’d be “brown” when they do!
We can’t wait to see more of their hilarious antics and, of course, to follow along with Jenny’s growing family!
