Gogglebox’s Jenny Newby Becomes a Great-Grandmother for the Third Time
Gogglebox star Jenny Newby, 67, has shared the exciting news that she is now a great-grandmother for the third time, with an adorable post on Instagram on Saturday. The much-loved TV personality, who has captured the hearts of fans since joining the show in 2014, celebrated the arrival of her new great-granddaughter with a sweet photo and a heartfelt caption.
The post featured Jenny holding her newest great-grandchild, with the caption: “Congratulations Jenny on your new great-granddaughter Olive-mae! More babysitting duties, I think xx” accompanied by laughing and heart emojis. Fans and Gogglebox co-stars were quick to congratulate Jenny, with Izzi Warner commenting, “Congratulations Jenny, she’s absolutely adorable xx,” and Ellie Warner adding, “Congratulations Jenny and family.”
Jenny’s fans flooded the comments with well-wishes, calling the newborn “beautiful” and expressing their delight at the growing family. One fan shared, “Congratulations on the new arrival. She’s beautiful 💖,” while another commented, “Ah so lovely xx congratulations!”
The news comes just a few months after Jenny’s other great-grandchildren made an appearance on Gogglebox, where they shared a quick cuddle with Jenny and Lee Riley before bed. The moment was both adorable and humorous, with Lee jokingly encouraging the kids to call Jenny “old” and “wrinkly” as they teased her about her age. Viewers were charmed by the interaction, with one fan commenting on Twitter, “Oh how cute are Jenny’s grandchildren! #gogglebox.”
Since joining Gogglebox in 2014, Jenny and her best friend Lee Riley have become fan favorites, known for their hilarious chemistry and candid commentary from their caravan in Hull. Their friendship dates back years to when Jenny was the landlady of The Crown Inn in Hull, where Lee was a regular customer.
In June, Jenny and Lee enjoyed a getaway in Cyprus, staying at Lee and his partner Steve Mail’s property. It has become a “home away from home” for the duo, offering a chance to unwind and relax.
Jenny’s journey from Gogglebox royalty to great-grandmother is just one of many heartwarming moments from her life, and fans can’t wait to see more.
