Gogglebox fans love 'cute' birthday throwback picture of Tom Malone Sr

Gogglebox fans were loving a throwback picture of Tom Malone Sr on his birthday. Tom's son, Tom Jr, shared the snap of his dad with his Instagram followers to mark his birthday.

Tom Jr posted a recent photo of the father and son paired with one from a few decades ago with a birthday message, the Liverpool Echo reports.

It was captioned: "Happy Birthday Dad [beer emoji]. We’ve changed a bit since that second picture [cry-laughing emoji]".

The first photo appears to have been taken in a bar or restaurant with Tom Sr wearing a patterned shirt and his son donning a blonde trim.

The second photo shows Tom Jr as a baby with his dad almost unrecognisable with a full head of hair and a thick moustache.

Fans were loving the pictures with commenter Siobhan, saying: "Nah that 2nd pic is hilarious. Legends both of u" [sic].

Sarah Lou said: "The only thing that's changed is the hair on your dad's face has gone onto yours and your dad's lost his!".

And miss_shorty1985 wrote "Wow happy birthday to your dad lovely throw back so cute."

The Malones have made a name for themselves after featuring on the popular Channel 4 programme which records their hilarious reactions to the TV highlights of the week.

Despite Tom Jr leaving the show last year to pursue new opportunities, Tom Sr and wife Julie are still regulars on the show and are often joined on the sofa by their children Shaun and Vanessa.
