Gogglebox legend Shirley Griffiths celebrates her birthday – and fans are sure to be shocked when they find out her age
GOGGLEBOX favourite Shirley Griffiths celebrated her 66th birthday with a stunning cake today – and fans are sure to be shocked by her age.
The Welsh telly star and her husband Dave’s funny banter and laid-back demeanour makes them seem years younger than their actual ages.
Alongside a picture of her blowing out candles on top of a tasty chocolate cake, Shirley wrote: “Thanks for all the birthday greetings, love shirley xxx #Gogglebox #birthdaygirl.”
The popular armchair commentator was bombarded with well wishes.
One commented: “Happy Birthday Shirley hope you’ve been spoilted .”
Another said: “Happy Birthday..that looks fabulous..yum yum..”
Gogglebox viewers were left in hysterics on Friday night when Shirley couldn’t remember having romantic baths with husband Dave, 65, after he made a saucy revelation.
Instead of talking about the latest TV shows, the naughty pair discussed bathing together.
Dave cheekily said: “Them days are gone when we used to have a bath together, aren’t they.”
A bewildered Shirley laughed before asking: “When was that?”
“Don’t say you’ve never had a bath with me!” exclaimed Dave.
Shirley then proceeded to ask: “No when?”
“How long ago then?” asked Shirley as she attempted to jog her memory.
While thinking back to the times when they enjoyed a joint dip in the tub, Dave said: “Well I don’t know… 30 years ago.”
Shocked by his revelation, Shirley exclaimed: “Well, I’d say f***ing longer than that!”
“Well, you’re saying you’ve never done it?” Dave said as he quizzed his wife.
Shirley proceeded to stand her point adding: “I don’t think I have, I can’t even recall – the baths years ago were f***ing smaller than what we’ve got now.”
But Dave then cheekily quipped: “Shirley, I think you’ve lathered my loofah.”
While laughing, Shirley quickly responded with: “I haven’t lathered anybody’s loofah!”
The pair were recently spotted spending time away from the sofa to get their Covid vaccinations at the Newbridge Mass Vaccination Centre in Caerphilly, South Wales.
The Welsh couple appeared happy to be getting their vaccinations as two staff members posed behind them for a photo.
The staff shared the snap on social media saying it was a “morale boost” to meet the couple.
