Awh he will be sadly missed from the show, may he rest in peace.
Rip Leon, you absolute legend. Always reminded me of my father in law, who was a gentleman also.
very sad to hear this news.
Always enjoy goglebox & this lovely couple
( Leon & June ) were my favourites.
They always appeared as a very happy and United couple & had great comments on the tv over the past week.
R.I.P.
From the first season of Gogglebox he was one of my favourites…He and his wife were a great double act.
Leon & June are just the best on Gogglebox! May he RIP. Thinking of June :-(
Sad news indeed. Seemed down to earth. Reality TV.
I am devastated at this news of Leon’s passing. As a lover of Gogglebox I think him and June were the best! Is it it awful that we all have to die! Sad emoji here!
@Mary Lyons: “sad emoji” in text is much more poignant that a real one. I upside down smiley face you
He was great on the show. RIP
Very sad
Brilliant character
RIP Leon, may you be remembered for the kind, witty, mischievous, principaled and loving man you were, and not “the elderly pensioner”
Nooooo!!! ☹️
Rip leon. Just loved the banter between you and june. A great couple who still had so much love for each other. If you read other news articles you’ll get their full story and how they fought to be together due to june being from a catholic family and leon jewish. 60 years together just shows that true love exists. Googlebox will have a little segment dedicated to leon before tomorrow nights show.
Ah that’s sad. He was my faveorite!
Thanks so sad. Watching the telly will never be the same again.
@Carolin Obrien: you’ll live
@Carolin Obrien: Is Gogglebox all you ever watched?
Remember when he started crying at the end of Gladiator movie and he turned to June and said I do hope it’s like that when when we go ….rest in
peace Leon and thanks for the entertainment
One of the good guys…
Very funny couple, and in a strange way innocent with themselves at their age, which was great to watch. Not a bad bone in their body. Loved the parts where he wasn’t on the screen out robbing stuff in the fridge and june shouting at him.
Cya for now Leon.
RIP
May the person who passed rest in peace.
The UK version of Goggle box was very good unlike the TV3 version which is pathetic to say the least nothing good to say except take it off.
@Alan Scott: What does TV3 that have to do with the poor man’s death?
a t.v programme about people watching t.v is a sign of where the world is going wrong.
@Terrence Wheelock: If you dont have anything sensitive of constructive to say keep your useless comments to yourself
Btw, June and Leon were the best couple on the great show
Always liked Leon. He loved a good war film with a bit of fighting. You could see his happiness with his better half. I will miss him RIP Leon.
@Mary Loony Mc Donald: this guy from googlebox is acceptably pervy. No victims in his pervyness apart from his wife’s exasperation lol
What is goglebox? Is it important?
@William Grogan: who are you?
@William Grogan: try googling goggle box…… its not important but then, neither is your fake profile nor is mine for that matter. We are but mere grains of sand blowing in the winds of eternity falling on soft ground dear William
@William Grogan: To a lot of people yes ! it is important as relaxation, Try it.
@Mary Loony Mc Donald: pervs are hilarious LOLLERS
Rest in Peace Leo
@Misanthrope: The old perv? lol? nothing lol about pervs
@Misanthrope: Harvey Weinstein? lol? dont think so. or is their an acceptable level of perving?
have your say
