It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear friend and #Gogglebox legend Leon. We will all miss him so very dearly. Our thoughts are with June and family at this incredibly sad time. 💔

Absolutely devastated to hear of the passing of Leon from Gogglebox. I still have this saved on my Sky box as it was such a touching moment of raw emotion. #Gogglebox pic.twitter.com/A8v2a7czd9
