    Congratulations are in order for Gogglebox favourite Jenny Newby, who has a new addition to her family!

    The hilarious TV star, 67 – who has appeared on the Channel 4 show with best pal Lee Rigby, 52, since 2014 – is now a great-grandma.

    Although, this isn’t Jenny’s first great-grandchild, as she actually has two already – and they’ve even made an appearance on the programme.

    The announcement of her latest adorable arrival was made with the sweetest social media post.

    Shared to her and Lee’s joint Instagram account, the photo captured Jenny cuddling up to a baby girl who wore the tiniest pink knitted hat.

    Jenny beamed with pride as she cradled the newborn in her blanket.

    Revealing her precious name, the caption read: ‘Congratulations Jenny on your new great granddaughter Olive-mae more babysitting 👩‍🍼 duties I think 🤔 😂🤣😂❤️xx’

    Her Gogglebox co-stars were quick to offer their congratulations, with Ellie Warner commenting: ‘Congratulations Jenny and family 🥹😍’

    Izzi Warner added: ‘Congratulations Jenny she’s absolutely adorable 💕xx’

    Fans also wanted to spread the love – but they all seemed to be saying the same thing about baby Olive-Mae’s facial expression…

    ‘Gorgeous baby, but she is giving you the same look Lee often gives you when you’re about to say something really wacky 🤪’, one person joked.

    ‘She’s got Lees facial expression 😂❤️’, another wrote.

    ‘Congratulations 🎊…but your granddaughter is judging you 😂’, one added.

    Jenny – who has a husband called Ray – is clearly a family-orientated person, but her own great-grandkids have put her on blast previously.

    As her great-grandson and granddaughter made their Gogglebox debut in May this year for a quick cuddle before bed, Lee couldn’t help but troll his best friend by encouraging the youngsters to call her ‘old’ and ‘wrinkly’.

    Jenny’s great-granddaughter revealed to Lee that she called Jenny ‘Grandy’, leaving her stunned by telling her that her hair and glasses made her look elderly.

    Lee then chimed in: ‘And her wrinkly skin?’, leaving viewers in stitches.

    However, they’ll return in September, as they announced in an Instagram video, with Jenny joking that she’ll be ‘brown’ when they come back.

    Oh, we miss them already!
