A former Gogglebox star has asked for prayers as she shared her step-dad is to spend Christmas in hospital.
Liverpool's Emma Riley appeared on Channel 4's Gogglebox alongside her dad David between 2019 and 2020. Emma previously told the ECHO they were spotted "outside Primark" after her dad "started dancing in the middle of the street" as a band was playing.
The two were quickly becoming well known faces before they stopped appearing on the programme due to David being vulnerable when covid hit.

During the pandemic, Emma's stepdad Bill was admitted to the ICU following complications after an operation, and he spent December in hospital.
Now, Emma has shared that Bill is back in hospital, where he will again spend Christmas. Taking to Twitter she said: "Please keep my pops in your prayers guys.. 2 years ago you all kept me going @goggleboxshow were the best when he was fighting for his life 2 years ago.
"AGAIN we aren’t going to have him home for Christmas but we are thankful he has now turned a corner."
Fans have wished Emma and Bill well. Mick said: "Give the old fella a Gogglebox watchers hand shake. All the best Em. Good luck have the best Christmas you can." Lizzy said: "So sorry to hear this Emma, sending love".
