Gogglebox Star Simon Minty Returns After Health Scare

Gogglebox favourite Simon Minty has returned to the show after a health battle that left him feeling unwell. The star, who appears alongside his sister Jane, shared an update on Instagram ahead of Friday's episode.

Simon wrote: 'Gogglebox should be a lot of fun tonight. Happy to be back too after not feeling so well. Hope you enjoy it and you have a lovely weekend ahead.' The siblings, from Surrey, have been on the Channel 4 programme since 2021 and are known for their humorous commentary.

Fans quickly rallied round, with one commenting: 'Sorry to hear you haven't been well. Hope you're feeling much better now.' Another added: 'Lovely to see my two favourite people back on Gogglebox.'
