Gogglebox Star Pat Webb Passes Away After Lengthy Illness

Gogglebox star Pat Webb, best known for her appearances on the popular Channel 4 programme, has sadly passed away after a long illness. The 75-year-old, who hailed from Brighton, appeared on the show alongside her son Stephen Lustig-Webb during series 10 to 12.

Stephen took to Instagram to express his love for his mother, describing her as someone who treated everyone with kindness and generosity. He also mentioned that she was the center of their family and an irreplaceable presence in their lives. The official Gogglebox account on X joined in paying tribute to Pat, acknowledging her presence and affirming how much she would be missed by her children and extended family. The family has requested privacy during this difficult time.

Gogglebox, a beloved show that features families and friends sharing their thoughts on television as they watch it, gained immense popularity since its inception in 2013. Over 22 series, the show has won accolades such as a BAFTA and multiple National Television Awards. Its success has led to various spin-off series and versions featuring celebrities, children, and teenagers.

Stephen Lustig-Webb, alongside his husband Daniel, became one of the show’s most recognizable and enduring stars before their departure last year, adding their unique charm to the series. However, Stephen faced a setback in October when he had to withdraw from ITV’s Dancing On Ice due to an ankle injury sustained during training.

Pat Webb first joined Gogglebox when Stephen’s friend and co-star Chris Ashby-Steed left the show in 2018, following a reported falling-out between the two. Pat quickly became a beloved part of the Gogglebox family, winning the hearts of viewers with her genuine personality and down-to-earth nature.

Pat’s passing marks the end of an era for Gogglebox, and she will be fondly remembered by fans for her contributions to the show. Her warm presence and infectious laughter will be greatly missed, and her legacy will live on through the memories of those who knew and loved her.
