Jenny rocked the ’80s perm, in fairness.

Gogglebox fans have been left shocked after star Lee Riley shared a 1980’s throwback shot of Jenny Newby to Instagram.

Captioning the photo, Lee wrote: “She’s going to go mad at me” – before adding some laughing emojis and clarifying it was “Jenny with the 80’s perm”.

Fans rushed to the comments to share their reactions after seeing the 30-year-old Jenny.

“Stunner! Still is,” one person wrote.

“Oh wow! Gorgeous lady, then and now,” another said.

“I thought it was Barabra Dickson at first glance!” a third added.

“Wouldn’t have recognised her!” another fan said.

Many were also quick to defend Jenny’s classic ’80s hairstyle.

“Hey, we all did it. If you didn’t have a perm in the 80s were you even there?” one person said.

“She looks fab!!!…. bet you had one too Lee!” another wrote.

“You have to love an 80s perm!” a third said.

Others agreed that Lee was indeed in for it when Jenny found out he had shared her throwback with the world.

“She won’t be mad – she’s going to kill you!” one person commented.

Jenny and Lee, who have been best friends for twenty years, quickly became fan favourites on show after joining the cast when the Channel 4 series first debuted back in 2014.

Gogglebox viewers recently expressed concern when Jenny and Lee were missing from an episode.

A couple of fresh faces joined the programme that night, leading fans to speculate that their favourite duo had been replaced.

But it was quickly revealed that the two had only jetted off to Cyprus on a well-deserved holiday to celebrate Lee’s partner’s birthday.

Fans sighed with relied as the two shot down the fears by sharing a couple of selfies – one of them masked up on a plane and another of them enjoying their quick sunshine break.

New episodes of Gogglebox air every Friday night at 9pm on Channel 4.
