Very sad news just in.
Gogglebox star Ken Harwood has died.
The 77-year-old passed away following a short illness.
His death was confirmed by the Gogglebox bosses who said that he passed away last week.
They’re set to pay tribute to him on tonight’s show.
Ken and his wife Anne were popular Gogglebox cast members from series 15-19.
A statement from the show makers said: “Ken will be dearly missed by his wife Anne, sons Simon and Ross, daughter-in-law, Elle, grandchildren Freya and Tristram, and all who knew him.
“There will be a tribute to Ken at the end of Channel 4’s episode on Gogglebox tonight.”
Ken was born in 1948 in Consett, County Durham and worked as a postmaster for 30 years before becoming a local councillor.
During his first appearance on Gogglebox, Ken presented his wife Anne with a bouquet of 50 roses, one for every year they had been married.
Anne joked: “You have put me to shame now with a card and roses, and I got you nothing. But you have me and that’s all you need.”
