Beloved Gogglebox star George Worthington has sent shockwaves through the show's fanbase after celebrating his 65th birthday, with viewers unanimously insisting he looks decades younger.
A Milestone Birthday Celebration
On Tuesday, November 18, the official Channel 4 programme marked the occasion by sharing a celebratory clip with its followers. The footage showed George's stepdaughter, Helena, entering the room carrying a birthday cake as George watched on with delight.
The accompanying social media message simply read: "Happy 65th Birthday George!" This announcement prompted an immediate flood of warm wishes from dedicated fans, though many responses expressed sheer disbelief at his age revelation.
Fan Reaction: 'You Don't Look 65!'
The comment section quickly became a testament to George's youthful appearance. One astonished viewer commented: "Doesn't look 65 happy birthday." Another echoed this sentiment, writing: "Happy Birthday George, looking well, don't look 65."
A third fan added their praise, stating: "Happy birthday George, absolutely love watching you guys on Gogglebox. Have a wonderful day." Others joined in celebrating the Manchester-based star, with one follower posting: "Happy Birthday George, have a fantastic day and I hope you are waited on all day."
The Worthington Family's Gogglebox Journey
George became part of the Channel 4 phenomenon back in 2017 during its tenth series. He appears alongside his partner Alison and her daughter Helena, forming the much-loved Worthington clan.
The Manchester-based trio quickly won over the nation with their witty commentary and genuine reactions to television programmes, establishing themselves as household favourites. Beyond their appearances on the famous sofa, the family regularly shares glimpses of their everyday life with their loyal followers.
Away from the screen, Helena has established herself as a talented artist. Her creations have been showcased at prestigious locations including The Whitworth Art Gallery and The Manchester Open at Home, while her works feature in numerous private collections.
During an interview with ilovemanchester.com, Helena revealed the amusing origins of her passion, recalling: "When I was very little I used to draw on the walls and in my mum's cookbooks and then blame it on my brother... so I guess that was the start of things."
Gogglebox continues to air every Friday at 9pm on Channel 4.
