Gogglebox's Lee swaps UK for Cyprus as series ends

Gogglebox star Lee Riley has gone "home" to Cyprus to see boyfriend Steve Mail after the popular programme wrapped its latest season earlier this month.

Lee returned to our screens with long-time best friend Jenny Newby for the latest series of the Channel 4 show earlier this year. Jenny and Lee have established themselves as fan favourites on the hit programme with their hilarious observations on the week's best TV.

Away from the famous Hull caravan, Lee has been in a happy relationship with Steve for 28 years. Steve lives in Cyprus and Lee often travels to the Mediterranean island to spend some quality time with his long-term boyfriend.

Steve took to Instagram on Sunday to share that Lee had come back to see him. Posting a selfie alongside Lee, he said: "He’s back home for Christmas now it’s time for the festive season celebrations to begin here in sunny northern Cyprus. Merry Christmas everyone #gogglebox".

While Lee and Steve spend Christmas in Cyprus, former pub landlady Jenny will likely spend the festive season with her husband Ray.

Gogglebox is expected to return for its 21st season in 2023. While Channel 4 has not yet confirmed a release date, previous years have seen the post-Christmas series drop around mid-February.
