Gogglebox favourites Ronnie and Annie have left fans across the country misty-eyed this week after quietly sharing one of the most beautiful milestones of their lives — 52 years of marriage.

The much-loved couple, who live in South-East London, first appeared on Channel 4’s hit show back in 2021 and instantly won viewers over with their warmth, gentle humour and the unmistakable sight of them holding hands as they watch television together. Since then, they’ve become one of the programme’s most treasured couples.

But while fans see their laughter and light-hearted debates on screen, Ronnie and Annie have always kept their life away from the cameras largely private — making this week’s personal update even more meaningful.

A Simple Post That Touched Thousands

On Monday, the official Gogglebox Instagram page marked their anniversary with a tender tribute, sharing both a recent photo of the couple and a throwback snap from their younger days.

The caption read:
“Annie and Ronnie. Then and now. Still holding hands after 52 years of marriage.”

Within minutes, the comment section was flooded with love.

Fellow Gogglebox legends Dave and Shirley Griffiths sent their congratulations, writing:
“Happy anniversary you lovely people. Love Dave and Shirley.”

TV siblings Simon and Jane added:
“Congratulations Annie & Ronnie. Lovely stuff.”

Fans followed with hundreds of heartfelt messages, many calling them their “favourite couple” and praising them as a rare example of lasting love in a fast-moving world.

Still Going Strong on Screen

Delighting viewers even more, Ronnie and Annie have returned for the latest series of Gogglebox, continuing to bring their signature charm to living rooms across the UK. Their presence has been especially comforting this season, which has seen several cast changes following the departure of other long-time favourites.

Their on-screen chemistry, built over more than five decades of shared life, continues to shine — offering moments of humour, tenderness and quiet devotion that fans say feel “like watching grandparents you wish you had.”

A Love Story That Feels Bigger Than Television

In an era where reality TV often thrives on drama, Ronnie and Annie’s story stands out for the opposite reason — consistency, loyalty and affection that hasn’t faded with time.

As messages of support continue to pour in, one thing is clear:
they aren’t just part of Gogglebox — they’ve become a symbol of the kind of love many people still hope for.

And after 52 years side by side, still holding hands, their quiet love story may be one of the most powerful on British television right now.
