‘Gogglebox’ won the Factual Entertainment Programme award at the National Television Awards last Monday.
Sisters Ellie and Izzi Warner accepted the award on behalf of the entire cast and dedicated it to both Leon and June.
Izzi said: “It’s the fourth year in a row that we’ve won, so it’s just a real privilege. And we are here representing the whole of Gogglebox, the whole cast. Everybody puts so much hard work into it.”
Ellie then added: “We’d like to just dedicate this award to Leon and June.”
‘Doctor Foster’ actress Suranne Jones also paid tribute to Leon. Before she read out the winner she said, “God bless you Leon.”
Leon and June were together for 60 years. Following his death, June revealed the longest she had ever been apart from her late husband was just four days.
