Gogglebox favourites Lee Riley and Jenny Newby have faced criticism from fans over their latest antics away from the cameras.
The duo joined the popular Channel 4 programme in 2014 and quickly became beloved by audiences. Throughout the years, the Hull-based friends – who have known each other for over 25 years – have left countless viewers in hysterics with their witty remarks.
Beyond the long-standing show, Lee and Jenny frequently share glimpses of their daily adventures through their shared Instagram profile, which boasts an impressive 869k followers.
On Thursday (September 11), the pair returned with a video showing them travelling in a vehicle, reports the Manchester Evening News.

But the footage sparked backlash from some supporters who were swift to criticise their conduct. The clip featured Jenny behind the wheel whilst a “petrified” Lee occupied the passenger seat.
Expressing his worries, Lee remarked: “This is the most terrifying thing I am in now.” Jenny responded: “What do you mean? I am alright.” Lee then announced: “She’s not, I tell you now” before yelling that there was a vehicle ahead of them, alerting Jenny: “There’s a car, there’s a car.”

Jenny maintained that the vehicle was “pulling out” and it wasn’t her responsibility, leading to continued squabbling with Lee.
Eventually, he informed viewers “never again with Jenny”, whilst cautioning her about the kerbs. The pair wrote alongside the post: “Never EVER EVER again.”
While many of Lee and Jenny’s followers found the clip amusing, others were less than impressed, criticising their behaviour while driving.

One disgruntled viewer vented in the comments section: “Lee you’re going to cause a serious crash for distracting the driver”. Another chimed in: “It’s ok having a laugh but being an idiot could cause an accident.” A third warned: “The way you’re acting, you’re gonna make a crash.”
However, other followers were tickled by their banter. One fan wrote: “A breath of sunshine laugh.” Another enthused: “These guys make me laugh brilliant.”
Gogglebox series 26 airs on Friday at 9pm on Channel 4.
