Gogglebox stars Dave and Shirley, who have been warming the hearts of viewers since 2015, are proud parents to two adult children, Simon and Gemma, who prefer life away from the limelight. Despite not appearing on the hit Channel 4 show, their folks often give fans a glimpse into their lives by posting photos on social media. The couple, celebrating over 45 years of marriage, recently cheered on their son Simon at the Caerphilly 10km, sharing an endearing photo with the caption: "Simon, our son, completed the #Cardiff10k.
Well done, son. By the way, he's the one on the left. We are not that old.
Well done to his mate # Gogglebox." Fans were quick to congratulate Simon in the comments, with one saying: "Well done mate. A huge achievement.
" While another expressed: "Wow. Proud parents. I know how ye feel.
Well done." Another fan recounted a humorous encounter: "Well done, I had a nice chat with him in McDonald's before the race..
. I least I think it was him..
.lol," reports OK! In April, they also posted a video of Simon conquering the Newport Marathon, proudly captioning it on X, formerly Twitter : "He did it 3hrs 46 mins so proud, well-done son so proud xxx." Daughter Gemma had her moment on Dave's Instagram page a couple of months back, where she was captured glammed up with a pal, both sporting colourful fascinators that wouldn't be out of place at a wedding or a day at the races.
