Channel 4 Gogglebox star Shirley's request to fans ahead of Friday's show

Gogglebox's Shirley Griffith made a request of her fans ahead of Friday's show airing.

Shirley and her husband Dave are a hilarious couple from Caerphilly, who have been together for over 40 years.

They're a favourite among Gogglebox fans thanks to their innuendos and off the cuff jokes.

Earlier this week, Shirley shared a photo of herself on Instagram dressed as a bumble bee.

She donned a black wig, yellow and black dress and matching leg warmers.

Dave revealed Shirley's new look was part of a campaign celebrating books.

He said: "Busy bee #Gogglebox Shirley #nationalbookmonth I'm bizy bizy doing nothing xx."

On Friday, she took to Instagram again as she raised a glass ahead of Friday's 9pm show.

A photo showed Shirley with a glass in one hand, and a small bottle of brandy in the other.

Captioning the post, she said: "I'm definitely #goggleboxready are you?"

She then asked fans to "send your snaps before the start of the show #c4gogglebox" before adding "chin, chin, hic" and two laughing emojis.

Fellow Gogglebox star Mica Ven said: "See you soon lovely"

Fans were also quick to comment.

Shirley Clarke said: "Is that Brandy, Shirl, my tipple", to which Shirley Griffith replied "my favourite, enjoy xx"

Making reference to a can of polish spray and a cloth in the background, Paul King said: "I see shirl needs a strong drink after doing the polishing"

Shirley's husband Dave replied: "She forgot the polishing!"

Gogglebox airs tonight (Friday) at 9pm on Channel 4
