Lee hilariously quipped that the photo was not of their wedding.

He wrote on Instagram: "Old photo 16 years ago of me and Jenny on a cruise taking the p**s and no before you ask we didn’t get married."

The walk down memory lane came as fans were shocked to learn the iconic Hull caravan which featured on Gogglebox actually belonged to Lee.

Many viewers have assumed for years that the static home belonged to her - so were astonished when he ordered her out on tonight's episode.

She asked him: "Just think Lee, what you going to do when I go home? I'll miss you when I go home. Have you bought me a leaving present?"

He replied: "Yeah. A f***ing suitcase."

The pair have been isolating together for the duration of the current series, which is why they have been able to appear together each week.

But, with the series coming to a close, he ordered her out - leaving viewers shocked that it was his place all along.

One fan boggled: "I always assumed it was Jenny’s caravan !! Only taken me 15 series’s to realise it’s Lee's !! FGS 🤦🏻‍♀️😂😂😂😂."

Another said: "Madness. I thought that was Jenny’s caravan after about 20 series of watching. Madness."

The pair also revealed that this week's episode is the last of the series and that the show will not return now until September.

Jenny and Lee tweeted from their joint account: "Happy #Gogglebox Friday or is it 😢😢?"

They became friends when Jenny was the landlady of a pub called The Crown Inn in Paull, East Riding, and Lee was a regular.

Gogglebox is available on catch-up and on demand on All 4
