Career Background
Channel 4 hit show Gogglebox started airing in 2013. However, Lee and Jenny have been starring on the show for only a couple of years. Yet they have become one of the most recognizable faces of the show.
Jenny was first offered to star on the show when she found herself talking with two Gogglebox researchers at Beverley Races Ladies’ Day. She told them she was a very big fan of the show and the researchers offered her to appear on television.
Since Jenny and Lee had been watching television together long before Gogglebox, she asked Lee to join on the offer. However, he didn’t want to star initially but Jenny convinced him. Lee once said: ‘To be honest and I didn’t want to do it. I’d say it took her about an hour and a half to talk me into it – about as long as it took me to get me out of bed.’
