Gogglebox's Jenny rides mobility scooter on holiday in Benidorm

Gogglebox star Jenny Newby has swapped her Hull caravan for the sunny climes of Spain.

Posting snaps from her winter sun holiday in Benidorm, the TV favourite shared a hilarious photo of herself on a mobility scooter with her 654,000 Instagram followers.

The 65-year-old captioned the post: “Jenny does Benidorm the Madge way.”

She added: “What happens in Benidorm stays in Benidorm” alongside a series of laughing emoji faces.

And it seems fans are keen for Jenny – who often has viewers in stitches with her comments on Gogglebox – to get her own show.

One commented: “We need a documentary on this holiday!!” while another said: “That would be fantastic lol.”

An eagle-eyed fan added: "Isn’t that one of the ‘two seater’ scooters?? So you can let Jenny drive you Lee!”

Jenny and her long-time friend Lee Riley joined Channel 4 ’s Gogglebox in 2014 and have been fan favourites ever since.

The pair have been best pals for more than 20 years and although there is only a 13-year age gap between them, they are sometimes mistaken for mother and son.

In fact, Jenny and Lee met when she was the landlady of a pub in Hull called The Crown Inn and Lee used to come in as a regular.

After becoming besties, they began going on holiday together and Lee now describes Jenny as more like family than a friend.

They film Gogglebox from Lee’s caravan which is in Patrington Haven caravan park in Hull.

Lee lives there with his long-term partner Steve, who he recently celebrated his 27th anniversary with.

The loved-up couple are currently on holiday in Cyprus while Jenny lives it up in Benidorm.

Jenny also has a partner, husband Ray, but he doesn’t appear on Gogglebox, preferring to stay out of the spotlight.

Some of the funniest moments on the show have included when Lee accidentally ate Jenny’s face cream after mistaking it for a dip.

And who can forget the time Jenny mistook a condom for a chocolate bar as her and Lee watched Netflix series You.

Characters Joe and Love are about to embark on a foursome with their neighbours when one character tears a condom with her teeth.

A confused Jenny turned to Lee and asked: “What’s she eating a chocolate bar for?”

Lee quickly informed her that it was actually a condom as he looked at Jenny dumbfounded before bursting out laughing.

Fans tuning in at home thought it was hilarious with one remarking: "Chocolate bar! Bloody hell Jenny! #Gogglebox.”

While another posted: "That's me done hahaha jenny is classic #Gogglebox."

Series 19 of Gogglebox is expected to start filming later this month when Jenny and Lee are back from their well-deserved breaks.
