One of Gogglebox's best-loved stars has admitted she doesn't own a TV, and 'doesn't really watch telly' when she's not appearing on the Channel 4 show. The 29-year-old has appeared on the show for more than half a decade.
Helena Worthington can often be seen catching up on the latest telly with her mum, Alison and Dad, George. But away from the show, the Manchester-born star's life is a lot different.
Speaking to OK! at the TRIC Awards on Tuesday (June 27), she said: "I don't really watch telly at home, I don't have a TV but [Gogglebox is] how I catch up on what's going on. I go to my mum's and use her electric to watch the telly."

She added: "It's a pretty good gig because you get to sit down and eat food and watch telly." Helena's mum Alison, also said that it's "lovely" she and her family get together once a week to film Gogglebox.
"There's no getting out of it for Helena," said Alison. "She has to come and see her mum and dad."
Helena added: "Well, it takes an hour on the bus for me so it's too much." Away from the show and spotlight, Helena is loved-up with artist partner Daniel.
Although, he chooses not to be part of the show, their beautiful baby son Erwin has made a number of appearances - particularly one breastfeeding episode which Helena was hailed for. Earlier this year, Helena delighted viewers when Erwin, now three, made a surprise appearance on the Channel 4 show.
As the family were seen tuning into Channel 4’s The Piano, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, the show panned to the family when fans quickly spotted the tiny tot was a new addition to the sofa. Fans gushed over the adorable kid, with many commenting on his amazing hair, reports the Daily Star.
“I'm sure Helena's wee boy was a tiny baby last I looked! He's so cute. #Gogglebox,” gushed one viewer “So seems I did not get the memo re Helena's gorgeous boy #normalnicehaircut ??“ said a second.
A third added: “No I’m sorry I refuse to believe that’s Irvin! [Erwin] Helena was only pregnant not that long ago wth!?,” while a fourth penned: “Oh my gosh look at his haircut!!,” said another, referring his bowl shaped haircut.
