Gogglebox cast members Dave and Shirley once hit back after a troll asked a “rude” question about her health.
Since 2015, the married couple from Caerphilly have been regulars on the hit Channel 4 show – and have amassed a loyal legion of fans since. Thanks to their hilarious one-liners and thoughts on the latest bits of telly, the pair have quickly established themselves as fan favourites.
But the much-loved couple were previously forced to set the record straight after fans expressed concern about Shirley’s health.
Dave and Shirley on Gogglebox
Following the end of the last series of Gogglebox last year, the stars enjoyed a break – including Dave & Shirley. The pair jetted off for a getaway to Salou, Spain – and kept their fans updated with their holiday snaps.
Taking to their Instagram in June 2023, the pair uploaded a snap of them beaming to the camera while enjoying a drink at a beach restaurant. They captioned the post: “Happy holidays everyone cheers.”

Gogglebox stars clap back at troll
However, one concerned fan rushed to the comments section to say: “Shirley looks ill [sad emoji].” The rude comment didn’t go amiss from Dave and Shirley, who replied back: “She’s all good thanks x.”
Wow! How rude! That’s such an uncalled-for comment!
And it’s fair to say Gogglebox fans were not impressed with the social media user – and defended Shirley. One supporter said: “Wow! How rude! That’s such an uncalled-for comment! You look fab Shirley [heart emoji].”
Echoing their thoughts, someone else said: “Somewhat rude.” While a third quipped: “What a terrible thing to say.”
