Gogglebox's Lee Riley has given an update on his sidekick Jenny Newby after revealing she was in hospital. The Channel 4 star was without his co-star and best pal as he hit the red carpet on Sunday night (May 8).

Lee, alongside fellow Goggleboxers Marcus Luther and Mica Ven, represented the popular programme at the Bafta TV Awards 2022 which took place at the Royal Festival Hall in London over the weekend.

And the trio made it onto the stage as the show picked up the Best Reality and Constructed Factual gong. The Channel 4 series beat off stiff competition from The Dog House, Married at First Sight and RuPaul's Drag Race UK to bag the award at the star-studded ceremony.
