Gogglebox's Jenny and Lee delight fans with announcement as they return to social media

Gogglebox stars Lee Riley and Jenny Newby have left their fans delighted thanks to a little announcement from the pair.

The Channel 4 favourites returned to Instagram earlier this week, after taking two months away from the social media platform - with their last post previously being a festive message over the Christmas period.

But the long-time friends returned in style on Tuesday, as they shared a video message with their 739,000 followers and let them know some exciting news.

Sitting in their famous caravan together, Jenny and Lee beamed as they waved to their fans and began their new Instagram update.

They exclaimed: "Hi, we’re back!"

Jenny added: "We’re still the same, still sat on the sodding lumpy cushions.”

Laughing, Lee then joked, “We’re still as daft as ever,” as Jenny quipped, “Yeah – you’re right there!"

"Back filming guys so see you all Friday," Lee went on to reveal, as Jenny added: "Looking forward to it!"

"Can't wait until Friday two absolute legends," one gushed underneath the duo's Instagram update.

"My faves glad they are back," another quipped, as a third wrote: "You really make me happy I live alone and look forward to seeing you Both x I watch all the repeats every night xx lots of love xx."

Another happy fan declared: "Awe welcome back, Could do with a few belly laffs.."

Since first appearing on the Channel 4 show in 2014, Jenny and Lee have become Gogglebox royalty, winning fans over with their hilarious double act from their caravan in Hull.

The much-loved duo go way back, first meeting when Jenny was the landlady of a pub Lee was a regular customer in.

Since meeting at The Crown Inn in Paull, the armchair critics have become inseparable - with Lee even describing his longtime pal as family in the past.

The TV duo joined the cast of Gogglebox for the fourth series of the award-winning show, but Lee wasn't too keen about the idea of becoming an armchair critic at first.

Jenny was first approached by producers at Beverley Races Ladies' Day, but Lee took some convincing to sign up.

"To be honest and I didn’t want to do it. I’d say it took her about an hour and a half to talk me into it – about as long as it took me to get me out of bed," he once explained to The Hull Daily Mail.

Luckily for Channel 4 viewers, the pair have never looked back and are now one of the favourite households on the award-winning production.

*Gogglebox airs Friday nights at 9pm on Channel 4
