So it looks like she won’t be returning.

June Bernicoff has announced that she will not be coming back to Gogglebox following the death of her husband Leon.

When a fan tweeted: “Would you do the show with one of your daughters? X”

June responded: “It was a great adventure with a great finale with the NTA?”

Her reply was a nod to the National Television Awards, when Goggleboxers dedicated their Best Factual Entertainment award to her late husband.

Fans were quick to respond to June’s decision.

The Scouse pair were fan favourites on the show.

Following Leon’s passing Channel Four and production company Studio Lambert, released a statement paying tribute to him.

It read: “Leon’s unique personality and sharp wit endeared him to fans of the show, as he contributed fully to Gogglebox‘s reputation as a programme full of warm humour and unvarnished opinion.

“To those of us that knew him personally, Leon was a man of unwavering principles who exerted a distinct paternal presence both on and off screen. He will be dearly missed by the entire Gogglebox family; cast and crew.”
