OHMYGOSSIP — Gogglebox’s Mary Cook has died aged 92.
The star, who appeared on the Channel 4 programme alongside fellow Bristolian Marina Wingrove, passed away in hospital over the weekend with her family by her side.
A statement shared on the show’s Twitter page read: “We are extremely saddened to share that ‘Gogglebox’ star Mary Cook passed away in hospital this weekend at the age of 92 with her family by her side.
“Beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and dear friend to many, Mary, who worked in the hospitality trade, had been married and widowed twice.
“Bristolians Mary and Marina met at St Monica Trust retirement village over 10 years ago and had been friends ever since.
“They joined ‘Gogglebox’ in 2016 at the start of series eight and became instant fan favourites due to their brilliantly witty and often cheeky comments.
“Mary will be sorely missed by the entire ‘Gogglebox’ family, cast and crew.”
Channel 4 added: “We are so saddened to hear of the loss of ‘Gogglebox’ star Mary Cook.
“Our love and thoughts are with Mary’s family, friends, and Marina.”
