Our beloved Gogglebox star June has announced that she has written a book called Leon and June: Our Story, a story celebrating their wonderful life together. I am sure this will be a remarkable, fun, story filled with love, laughs and light banter.
The book will look back on their life together, after meeting in 1955 at a teacher training college. It will discuss their fight to marry, life in 1960s Liverpool and finding fame in their retirement.
The famous Liverpool pair, June and Leon, were together for sixty years, and were the first couple to be cast on Gogglebox in 2013. I can safely say that Channel 4 made a brilliant casting choice as they have entertained audiences from the first show and found a place in millions of hearts. The pair contributed to the show winning a BAFTA in 2014, a remarkable achievement.
Family, friends and fans sadly lost Leon last December after a short illness. June decided not to continue taking part in Gogglebox, understandably. Although, June still interacts with nearly a quarter of a million followers on Twitter.
"Leon often said he'd like to write our story. So now I can do it for him,” – what an inspiring sentiment. We all long for a love story like this.
Leon and June are both sadly missed on the show, and we wish June all the best success with this book, I know I will be one of the first to read it.
