Fans of Gogglebox have been buzzing about the striking resemblance between the show's beloved duo, Jenny Newby and Lee Riley, and the new British Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer. The discovery was first made by TikTok user @Ellierew, who playfully joked that Sir Keir could be the long-lost lovechild of Jenny and Lee.
Viewers of Gogglebox were quick to join in on the fun, with some saying they would never be able to look at Jenny and Lee the same way again. Some even joked that they could never unsee the uncanny resemblance between the three.
Even Jenny and Lee themselves couldn't resist commenting on the likeness, resharing the TikTok post on their Instagram and adding a string of laughing emojis. However, for those wondering, Sir Keir's parents are actually Josephine and Rodney Starmer, and he is the second of their four children.
Sadly, both of Sir Keir's parents have passed away. His mother, who was a nurse, died shortly before he was elected to parliament in 2015, and his father, who worked as a toolmaker, passed away in 2018. Sir Keir has previously opened up about his complicated relationship with his father, describing him as a difficult man but also acknowledging his devotion and commitment to his mother.
Meanwhile, Jenny and Lee have been best friends for 30 years, ever since Lee became a customer at Jenny's pub. They joined the cast of Gogglebox in 2014 and have been filming their segments from Lee's caravan in Hull. During the pandemic, Jenny even moved in with Lee to continue filming, but has since returned to her husband Ray while Lee lives with his partner Steve, whom he has been with for almost three decades.
Jenny has admitted to being a big fan of Gogglebox from the beginning, while Lee initially turned down the offer to appear on the show but was eventually convinced by his friend. Gogglebox is available to stream on Channel 4.
