On Thursday, the TV star shared a photo of herself holding the Gogglebox BAFTA award. Captioning the snap, on Instagram, Jenny said: " Finally I get to hold the BAFTA while in London to show my respect to her majesty the Queen".

Fans were quick to send Jenny well-wishes. Taking to the comments section, Debbie McPherson said: "Good on you, Jen", while Deirdre Dames said: "Well done".

Terry Pickett said: "Love ya Jenny" and Pearl Daley said: "Looking fabulous darling". Danita said: "Well done! It was so lovely to walk and chat with you yesterday".

Gogglebox returned to our screens for its 20th series on Friday (September 9). Some viewers had been concerned it may be suspended amid schedule changes.

At the time, a Channel 4 spokesperson told the ECHO : "Channel 4 has made significant changes to our schedule, including added extended news coverage, to ensure that Channel 4 is respectful following the news from Buckingham Palace about the death of Her Majesty The Queen.

"Channel 4 exists to offer viewers an alternative and that is particularly important at times like this. Gogglebox is a much loved national institution and it will air as planned tonight bringing a valuable sense of continuity for many of our viewers."
