Gogglebox legends look unrecognisable in incredible holiday throwback snap
TWO Gogglebox legends have been seen looking unrecognisable in an incredible holiday throwback.
Dave and Shirley – who film the show from their house in Wales – have been married for over 40 years and joined the Gogglebox cast in 2015.

And Shirley shocked her social media fans lately as she posted a throwback of herself and husband Dave where they looked considerably younger.
She penned: “These were great times, #Benidorm holidays #funinthesun #gogglebox.”
In the photo, the pair can be seen sporting tans and have a lot of fun, with Dave holding up a beer.
Dave dons a checked shirt and brown trousers and sports a head of dark hair in the photo.
Meanwhile, a playful Shirley throws a leg up in the air in a yellow dress and grins at the camera.
The Gogglebox favourite also sports a head of dark hair, which she wears in curls.
Fans were in disbelief, as one wrote: “Love this photo! You both look fantastic.”
Another person added: “Wow! That hair! And yours Shirley!” and a third said: “Wow what fabulous legs Shirley.”
In their day jobs, Dave is a cleaner in a factory, and Shirley works in retail.
Last year, she was seen in the shop window dressed as a bee in a black and yellow costume for National Book Month.
The couple’s French bulldog often features in their Twitter posts, where they keep their followers up-to-date with their daily life.
They also like to dress up their beloved dog, sharing one snap of him in a Star Wars costume.
The pair have two children called Simon and Gemma, and they’ve also given a glimpse inside their Wales home.
But the couple, who live in Caerphilly in South Wales, spooked out their followers on Instagram last year, after sharing a pic of a creepy crawly that they found in their home.
Sharing a snap of a huge spider, they captioned the post on Instagram: “Found this out the back, any ideas .”
While one joked it was a Caerphilly tarantula, another put forward the suggestion it was a running crab spider.
But others were concerned for their safety and told them to get out quick.
One commented: “Omg!!! Move house x.”

I bought THREE houses for just £2.60 in Italy… they’ll be totally unrecognisable once I’m done with them
A WOMAN who bought three homes for just £2.60 in Italy has revealed new plans she has for the properties.
Rubia Daniels intends to retire in picturesque Mussomeli, Sicily, where her houses are – but has now revealed she plans to create two businesses in the buildings.
The enthusiastic new home owner from California, who speaks Italian, first became aware of the 89p (€1) homes after reading an article about the small town online.
While she hadn’t intended to buy so many homes in 2019, she added: “It’s how the people make you feel that makes you say, ok, I’ll buy three.”
The properties are only a ten minute drive from one another.
She plans on turning one into a wellness centre.
The other will be an art gallery, and the third is reserved for her and her boyfriend to retire in after the massive £16,000 renovations.
She said: “You don’t even get a car for £16k in California, it’s a very small investment.
“We have one mostly completed already when we go, and hopefully the second will be done by October.
“I never felt overwhelmed or fearful about this project – it’s a big task but a great opportunity.”
Rubia plans to restore all three buildings to their former glory, and help restart the small town in which they lie.
She said: “It was a fantastic new concept for me.
“I work in the environmental industry and to use what we already have where properties have been abandoned – it’s a great opportunity.”
Several towns in Italy have made headlines in recent years for offering up the practically free houses to buyers.
The Sun previously reported that there are around 25 regions who have taken part in the scheme, each with a number of properties.
Many of the areas have a dwindling or aging population and hope to build the community again.
But while some do sell for 89p (€1), on average houses sell for around £4.4,000 (€5,000), although some are up to £17,000 (€20,000), according to Meredith Tabbone who bought one herself.
Not only that, but there are often fines for buyers who don’t complete their renovations in time.
Buyers are also often required to pay a £4.4,000 (€5,000) deposit, which they lose if they haven’t finished sprucing up their property within a set time.
Buyers are also advised to check on whether they are required to live in the property full time before buying, as some towns sell the houses on the condition of moving to the area, as well as working or starting a business there.
Dias claims that she ultimately “loves the architecture of the house and the history” of the old building, despite the pricey cost of the renovation.
Here is everything you need to know about buying and renovating an 89p (€1) house in Italy.

They have both continued with their acting careers and appeared
in the horror flick Us alongside Black Panther stars Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke.
Speaking about her experiences on set, Cali told Insider: “All of the cast were super nice to us, they treated us all like little princesses and when we had holidays and stuff, they’d give us little Christmas gifts.”
“It’s kind of cool to see something that we were in but can’t really remember, so it’s kind of like the memories are preserved for us,” she added.

PHOEBE’S TRIPLETS
Who can forget Phoebe’s triplet surrogacy storyline in season five.
Lisa Kudrow’s character carried her little brother, Frank Jr. and his wife Alice’s three babies, who were brilliantly named: Leslie, Frank Jr. Jr. and Chandler.
Although the triplets were played by multiple different babies, one major episode cast the quadruplets from the Cimoch family – Alexandria, Cole, Justin and Paul.
Alexandria, a college sophomore, recently took to TikTok to share her former role on the show.
The video has been viewed over 2.6 million times and she captioned it: “Yes… I was on Friends.”
She also disclosed in the video how her brother played a baby girl, a fact they still joke about today.
She hasn’t returned to TV, but seems to have kept up her acting through high school productions.

Although it was far from a starring role, a young Tahj Mowry featured in a Friends episode where Phoebe sang to a bunch of kids at the Central Perk.
However, the actor – now 36 – was no stranger to the screen. He starred in a different hit show Full House from 1991-1995.
Post-Friends, he was frequently featured on Disney Channel and kids shows like Kim Impossible. Mowry also had a main role in ABC’s Baby Daddy until 2017.

Osment is now a series regular on Young Sheldon as well as other successful American TV shows.

Approaching the end of Friends, Chandler and Monica buy a house out in the suburbs.
The miserable Joey accompanies them on this venture, where he meets eight-year-old Mackenzie played by Dakota Fanning who helps to console him.
Almost unknown at the time of her Friend’s appearance, Fanning would go on to have huge commercial success in the likes of the Twilight franchise, War Of The Worlds and Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

I’m an 80-year-old bodybuilder – I look unrecognisable in throwback pic from my heyday… but I’m still working out now
FEW people maintain gruelling exercise routines as they hit 80, but legendary veteran bodybuilder Frank Zane does.
The 80-year-old shared a picture of his sun-soaked and muscle-clad younger self, while still vowing to not let old age get in the way of his training.
The throwback picture is taken around the time the champ was winning Mr Olympia titles in the late 70s[/caption]
At 80, Zane still keeps up with his serious fitness routines[/caption]
The former bodybuilding champ has been looking back on his glory days to encourage others to stay motivated.
In an Instagram post, alongside a picture from his heyday, he wrote: “A lot of guys have better genes but if you work hard and consistently, you can outperform them.”
The tactic has clearly worked for Zane, who won the esteemed Mr Olympia and Mr Universe titles three times each.
Through his 50 year-long career, he has worked alongside other legends in the business, including Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Zane is one of only three in the world to have defeated Schwarzenegger in professional bodybuilding.
The veteran muscleman has achieved a highly coveted spot in the “Top 10 Legends of Bodybuilding” and a rightful space in the Bodybuilding Hall of Fame.
Now, he is often found sharing his wisdom online and acting as a performance coach for millions.
Recently, he shared that a secret to his success is focusing “on the quality of your sets instead of weight and number of reps”.
He also encouraged his followers to “never work to failure but success, striving to perform the last repetition in a set with perfect form before you stop and rest for maximum before the next set.”
In terms of his throwback thirst trap, his fans rushed to the comment section. One wrote: “You are living proof of that.”
Another said: “Old is gold champ .. god bless you always”.

I knew Prince Harry years ago & he loved Charles – but after his memoir betrayal he’s unrecognisable, biographer says
PRINCE Harry’s biographer says he is unrecognisable compared to the man she once knew.
Angela Levin spent fifteen months with the Duke when she was writing Harry: Conversations with the Prince in 2018.
Harry has change beyond recognition, Angela Levin said[/caption]
But following the release of Harry’s explosive memoir Spare, Ms Levin says the once “intuitive” man who “understood people” is long gone.
The Royal Family expert told The Sun: “He’s completely different in every possible way.
“How many betrayals can you have? It’s one after the other.
“It’s a betrayal, it’s a huge betrayal.”
Ms Levin added how she believes Harry’s views of his father King Charles have changed markedly, too.
She said: “I remember him saying about his father feeling the loss [Diana] just as they were, in a slightly different way, he’s been there to look after us and protect us.
“He and William put on a birthday party, Harry was full of praise [about his father].”
Ms Levin went on to address allegations from Harry that Prince William attacked him during an argument about Meghan Markle.
Analysing the claim, leaked days before the book’s UK release, she said: “He wants to believe that he’s 100% in the right and his brother is 100 per cent in the wrong.
“Of course he’s trying to take them down.”
Other salvos launched at The Firm in Spare was that Harry accused Camilla of leaking stories to the press.
And the Prince even claims she launched a campaign to marry Charles to get the crown.
We can reveal in Spare that Harry claims:
- William jabbed his finger at Meghan during a row over comments she made about Kate’s “hormones”
- Describes Kate as “wide-eyed” and grabbing her seat while demanding an apology from Meghan
- That his brother warned him that a relationship with an “American actress” would go “wrong” and branded Meghan “difficult” and “rude”
- Harry accuses William of grabbing him by the collar and breaking his necklace knocking him to the ground and cracking his back on a dog bowl
- Reckons William and Kate were upset they never received a present for Easter
- Accuses Kate of making Meghan cry over a bridesmaid fitting
- William was jealous that Harry had approval from the Queen to wear a beard at his and Meghan’s Royal Wedding
- Kate “grimaced” and was “taken aback” when Meghan borrowed her lip gloss
Harry also alleges William jabbed his finger at Meghan during a row over comments she made about Kate’s “hormones”.
And the Duke accuses Catherine, the Princess of Wales, of making Meghan cry over a bridesmaid fitting.
Amid a torrent of allegations – revealed by The Sun after we got hold of a copy in Spain – Ms Levin believes there is now no way back for Harry.
She explained: “How Harry thinks he could get his family back after being so rude and callous is [beyond belief].”
The Sun has translated text from the Spanish edition after the original biography was written in English, therefore the quotes may not be exact.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams shared similar concerns as he focussed on Harry’s relationship with Charles.
He told The Sun Online: “Charles now has some real dilemmas.
“To ask him to go ahead with a business as usual approach when you’ve had this? What does Charles do?”
The royal expert said that despite them being invited, most Brits would not see it “appropriate” to have Meghan and Harry at The King’s May 6 Coronation.
Mr Fitzwilliams warned: “It would retract from the dignity of the occasion.
“If you trash it, as Harry is doing it quite ruthlessly, then I don’t think they should be invited.”
Prince Harry will sit down with ITV’s Tom Bradby at 9pm on Sunday for his latest interview.
Spare hits shelves in the UK on Tuesday January 10.
