Former Gogglebox star Lisa Baggs has been inundated with messages of condolence and support following the devastating loss of her best friend. The television personality shared the heartbreaking news and paid an emotional tribute on her Instagram account.
An Emotional Farewell on Social Media
On Thursday, Lisa Baggs posted a picture of the order of service from her friend's funeral, captioning it with a moving message. She described the day as one "full of love, tears and happy memories," noting the church was full and the sun was shining for the beautiful service.
In her tribute, Lisa wrote directly to her friend, saying, "Sally I will never ever forget you and I will miss you forever my brave hilariously funny friend. Sleep well, my darling. I love you muchly." This post came three weeks after she first announced the sad passing, revealing her friend had lost "the longest battle" after showing immense bravery.
Flood of Support from Followers and Fans
The comment section beneath Lisa's posts was quickly filled with warm wishes and sympathy from her followers. One person expressed, "Sending prayers & condolences, Lisa. Far too young to pass from this world. May Sally rest in everlasting love."
Another supporter added, "Oh Lisa, I’m so sorry to hear this sad news. I’m thinking of you and sending lots of love," while a third simply stated, "Sending you so much love, chick." The collective response highlighted the strong connection Lisa has built with her audience since her time on the popular Channel 4 show.
From Gogglebox Favourites to New Opportunities
Lisa and her husband, Terry, joined Gogglebox in 2020 alongside their sons, Joe and George. The family's hilarious commentary made them firm favourites with viewers. However, in 2022, they made the decision to leave the programme.
In a statement at the time, the family explained their departure was due to "work commitments" and "lots of exciting opportunities." They expressed immense gratitude for their time on the show, calling it "the opportunity of a lifetime" after three incredible seasons.
The family's significant social media presence, particularly from their sons, continues to keep them in the public eye as they navigate this period of personal loss.
