And fans were quick to send their well-wishes, as one wrote: “Happy birthday Jenny! Thank you both for making us smile x”

“Have the best day. Thank you for keeping us entertained throughout Gogglebox. You are sooo funny. Lots of love xxx,” said another.

While a third added: “Happy Birthday Jenny you absolute Legend. Hope you have the best day!!”

This comes after Gogglebox fans were left devastated when Lee posted a photo of his empty sofa to confirm Jenny had moved out of his caravan in Hull.

The co-stars moved in together so they could continue to film the current series of the show during lockdown.

After some concerned viewers thought that Jenny and Lee were breaking the social distancing rules during the coronavirus outbreak, Lee hit back on Twitter.

He said at that time: "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."
