After the tragic death of her husband Leon Bernicoff over Christmas, June has decided not to return to the show for its next series.

June, who was married to Leon for 53 years, revealed earlier today in a tweet that she wouldn't be coming back to Gogglebox, and that the NTA tribute to his memory was a "great finale."

Responding to a question from a fan asking whether she would do Gogglebox with one of her and Leon's daughters, June made the revelation.

She wrote: "It was a great adventure with a great finale with the NTA."

She was inundated with support from fans, who said they could understand her decision and wished her well for the future.

One wrote: "You have to do what's right for you June. Your memories with Leon will be with you forever and we have those from Gogglebox too."

Another added: "I'll miss you June but I understand it would be too hard without Leon," and one person wrote: "You will be missed but it's totally understandable."

Poor Juney :(

Gogglebox won the NTA for Best Factual Entertainment Show for the fourth year in a row at last week's ceremony, as award presenter Suranne Jones said: "God bless you Leon. It's Gogglebox."

Ellie and Izzie Warner from Leeds took to the stage to accept the award, and said: "This is absolutely amazing and it’s a fabulous opportunity to be here and I'd just like to say thank you to the NTAs for having us, and a massive thank you to everybody who has voted."
