Tributes have flooded in since new emerged that Goggelbox star Mary Cook passed away at the age of 92 over the weekend.
Mary joined the Gogglebox cast in 2016 for season eight alongside her friend of 10 year Marina and the pair became an instant hit with fans.
According to the St Monica Trust retirement home, where Cook and Wingrove lived, they were discovered by a researcher for Gogglebox during a trip to Asda.
According to their website, Mary said: “I was going shopping, so I asked them if they could wait until we got back.
“They came up to Marina’s flat, held cards up of different famous people and we had to talk about them.”
The pair were temporarily absent from the programme because of the pandemic; however, they returned in May’s series finale of the programme.
Here are some of the pair’s best bits on the Channel 4 hit.
