Beloved Gogglebox stars Dave and Shirley Griffiths have been showered with love and festive good wishes after sharing a personal Christmas update with their loyal fans.
A Decade on Screen and a Golden Milestone
The Welsh couple, who first joined the hit Channel 4 show in 2015, have become fan favourites over their ten years on screen, charming audiences with their witty commentary on the week's television. They recently featured in the show's 26th series, which saw the return of popular pairings like Jenny and Lee and welcomed five new families to the cast.
Off-screen, Dave and Shirley have been celebrating a significant personal milestone. In November, the couple marked an incredible 50 years of marriage, sharing a nostalgic photo to commemorate their golden wedding anniversary. Dave's touching caption read, "50 years on November 15 I wed the lovely Shirley. Happy anniversary darling, here's to making more happy memories."
Festive Cheer from a Favourite TV Couple
Now, they have turned their attention to the holiday season. On Wednesday, December 17, the pair took to Instagram to post a beaming selfie surrounded by Christmas decorations.
Alongside the joyful image, they shared a simple but heartfelt message for their followers: "Hoping everyone has a great Christmas and a great new year #gogglebox #christmas."
An Outpouring of Fan Support
The post was quickly flooded with supportive comments from friends, fellow cast members, and fans. One admirer wrote, "Merry Christmas to you both and family, lovely picture of you both," while another called them the "loveliest couple."
Their anniversary post also attracted warm congratulations from within the Gogglebox family. Co-star Ellie Warner commented, "Happy golden wedding anniversary you lovely pair," and her sister Izzi added, "Congratulations both! Wishing you many more years of wedded bliss."
The couple's enduring popularity is a testament to their genuine and relatable presence, both as television personalities and as a devoted pair celebrating over half a century together. Gogglebox continues to air on Channel 4 on Fridays at 9pm.
