Gogglebox's Malones thank fans for 'concern' in update from Jamaica amid hurricane

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Gogglebox stars Julie and Tom Malone have thanked fans for their concern as they issued an update from their holiday in Jamaica.

The couple have been sharing updates on social media after they headed to the Caribbean earlier this week. Julie and Tom, who have been part of the Channel 4 show since 2014 and are now often joined on the hit by their son and daughter, Shaun and Vanessa, revealed they were heading off on their latest trip as the hit programme takes a break from the small screen but once they arrived, the country was on alert for an incoming hurricane.

Hurricane Beryl had already wreaked havoc in Grenada, Barbados and St Lucia with the tropical storm before heading for Jamaica.

It has since strengthened back into a Category 3 storm late on Thursday as it headed towards Mexico’s resort-studded Yucatan Peninsula and left a trail of destruction across the eastern Caribbean and at least nine people dead.
