End of series 15

“It’s on tonight @C4Gogglebox 9pm so we can all reminisce together laugh, cry, that’s Gogglebox for you.
“Enjoy Goggleboxers, see you all in September much love JAL xx.”
One devastated viewer said: “Gogglebox was the only thing to look forward to and make us laugh. That sofa doesn’t look right without you guys on it. Best bits it is then.”
“Fridays are ruined,” someone else complained.
Friends with no benefits
The reality show came under fire back in March when worried viewers thought that Jenny and Lee weren’t self-isolating from one another during the coronavirus outbreak.
In response, Lee tweeted: “Well what can we say it’s Friday and it’s still on #Gogglebox. Jenny and me watching together as we are both on lockdown TOGETHER, friends with no benefits I may add! An hour of laughs stay safe stay well.”
