Lee couldn’t help but joke with Jenny, encouraging the youngsters to call her “old” and “wrinkly,” sparking laughter from both Jenny and the audience.
Jenny, who is known for her witty and relatable moments on the Channel 4 show, had a memorable interaction with her great-grandchild, who sweetly referred to her as “Grandy.” The child also pointed out that Jenny’s glasses and hair made her appear “old,” with Lee cheekily adding, “And her wrinkly skin?” This lighthearted exchange had fans delighted, and many took to Twitter to comment on the adorable moment.
