June from Gogglebox couple Leon and June dies, aged 82

Former Gogglebox star June Bernicoff dies at the age of 82 after "a short illness".

Former Gogglebox star June Bernicoff has died at the age of 82, Channel 4 have confirmed.

June and her husband Leon, who died in 2017, were one of the original couples on the popular show, appearing together for four years before Leon passed away.

In a statement, Gogglebox executive producer Tania Alexander confirmed that June died on Tuesday "at home with her family by her side after a short illness" that was not related to coronavirus.

"A remarkably independent, principled woman with a vivacious sense of humour and a huge passion for life, June will be dearly missed by the entire Gogglebox family, cast and crew," said Alexander.

"Despite her departure from the show in 2017, she remained a passionate supporter of the programme, watching it every week, and she was in regular contact with the production team."

In 2018 June published a book about her 60-year marriage, Leon and June: A Lifetime of Love and Laughter.
