The fan-favourite duo were MIA on Friday night.

Gogglebox stars Jenny Newby and Lee Riley have apologised to fans after fears they had quit the show.

Viewers noticed the two were missing from Friday night’s episode and took to social media to express their concerns over their absence.

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

Jenny and Lee addressed the fears on Instagram, sharing two selfies – one of them masked up on a plane and another of them enjoying a quick sunshine break.

“SORRY FOLKS WE’RE COMING BACK SEE YOU ALL ON FRIDAY #gogglebox,” they wrote.

Jenny and Lee had made a quick getaway to the Mediterranean, visiting Cyprus to celebrate Lee’s partner’s birthday.

Once the two cleared things up, fans breathed a sigh of relief.

“Thank god for that,” one commented.

Another said: “Well you were bloody missed!”

“Be such a loss to the show if you went, funny as. You’re classic and always make me giggle,” a third added.

Gogglebox introduced newcomers Simon and Jane on Friday night. The brother and sister pairing look set to become another fan favourite as viewers took to Twitter to express their approval.

“Absolutely loving Simon and Jane on Gogglebox already. These two are gonna be brilliant,” one person said.

“Love these two already. Can’t wait to see more of them as the series goes on,” another wrote.

“Simon and Jane are a brilliant addition to the show!!!” a third declared.

But rest assured, they’re not coming for Jenny and Lee’s spot any time soon. Phew!
