Devoted fans of the hit Channel 4 show Gogglebox have been left utterly astonished this week, after discovering the real age of one of its most beloved stars, George Worthington.
A Birthday Celebration Reveals All
The revelation came on Tuesday, November 18th, when the official Gogglebox social media accounts shared a heart-warming video of George celebrating his milestone birthday. The clip showed his step-daughter, Helena, entering the room with a birthday cake as George looked on with a smile.
The post was captioned with a message that sent shockwaves through the fan community: “Happy 65th Birthday George!” This simple wish prompted an immediate and stunned reaction from his legions of followers, many of whom could not believe he had reached that age.
Fan Reaction: 'He Doesn't Look 65!'
The comments section quickly flooded with a mix of warm birthday wishes and expressions of sheer disbelief. One fan exclaimed, “Doesn't look 65 happy birthday,” a sentiment that was widely echoed.
Another admirer added, “Happy Birthday George, looking well, don't look 65,” while a third chimed in with, “Happy birthday George, absolutely love watching you guys on Google box. Have a wonderful day.” The overwhelming consensus was that the Manchester-based star is wearing his years exceptionally well.
From the Sofa to the Spotlight
George, alongside his partner Alison and her daughter Helena, first joined the cast of Gogglebox for its tenth series back in 2017. The Worthington family quickly became firm favourites with the audience, charming viewers with their hilarious one-liners and comical commentary on the week's television highlights.
Away from the famous sofa, the family maintains a strong connection with their fans, often sharing updates from their daily lives in Manchester. Helena, an accomplished artist, has seen her work displayed in prestigious venues like The Whitworth Art Gallery and The Manchester Open at Home.
In a past interview, she humorously reflected on the start of her artistic journey, stating, "When I was very little I used to draw on the walls and in my mum's cookbooks and then blame it on my brother... so I guess that was the start of things." She is also a proud mother to her six-year-old son, Irwin.
The family's relatability and genuine dynamic continue to make them a cornerstone of the show, which airs every Friday at 9pm on Channel 4.
