Jenny and Lee

After popular Gogglebox star Izzi Warner was replaced by her sister Ellie's boyfriend Nat during last Friday's episode, due to the current social-distancing rules, many fans of the hit show were left wondering why Jenny and Lee were still filming together, despite not actually living together.

But don't worry, the hilarious friends from Hull haven't been breaking any of Boris Johnson's rules, in fact the pair have made the decision to self-isolate together, with Lee moving in with Jenny.

Taking to their shared Twitter account over the last week, Jenny and Lee have been updating fans with their goings on and told fans last week, 'Well what can we say it’s Friday and it’s still on #Gogglebox Jenny and me watching together as we are both on lockdown TOGETHER friends with no benefits I may add! Hour of laughs stay safe stay well #StayHomeSavesLives'. (sic)

When a fan asked if the pair were now isolating together, Lee replied saying, 'We are what fun!'.

Jenny and Lee have been on Gogglebox since series four way back in 2014, and they quickly became one of the most popular pairings on the show.
