A Gogglebox favorite is expanding her family, and the news has sparked a flood of supportive messages from the show’s cast. Helena Worthington, known for her witty observations on Channel 4’s Gogglebox, revealed on Instagram that she is 33 weeks pregnant with her second child. She shared photos from a recent trip to RHS Bridgwater with her six-year-old son Irwin, reflecting on how returning to a place full of early memories feels meaningful as her family grows.
Worthington appears on the hit program alongside her mother, Alison, and Alison’s partner, George, and she is in a relationship with her partner, Dan. In the Instagram post, she candidly described the experience: "Pregnant. Tired. Raging indigestion. Still crouching down to explain why we don’t dig up all the bulbs. 33 weeks pregnant at RHS Bridgwater with my first baby, while waiting for my next one. We took Erwin here often when he was a new bean." She also noted how these in-between moments feel precious—messy, slow, and very real—and admitted feeling a mix of excitement and oddness about how big Irwin might suddenly seem when the new baby arrives.
Fans responded with warm wishes and surprise at the news. Fellow Gogglebox star Ellie Warner posted three heart emojis in support, while another commenter called the announcement precious. Even Danny Beard, known from Big Brother and RuPaul’s Drag Race, shared affection with a string of heart-eyed emojis.
The Worthington family has been a beloved fixture on Gogglebox since first appearing in series 10 in 2017, quickly winning fans with their sharp quips and relatable reactions to the week’s TV.
Beyond television, Helena Worthington has built a career as an artist, working from Islington Mill where she focuses on sculpture and painting. Her work has been showcased at notable venues such as The Whitworth Art Gallery and The Manchester Open at Home.
The pregnancy news comes during a difficult time for the family. Shortly after sharing the pregnancy update, Helena posted a heartfelt message honoring her late grandmother. She wrote about reaching 20,000 followers—a milestone she deeply appreciates—while also acknowledging her loss. Helena described her nana as a remarkable, larger-than-life figure who loved her fiercely, equating her with a blend of Dame Judi Dench and a witty, quiz-loving matriarch.
She shared several endearing anecdotes about her grandma, including playful stories and a testament to the impact she had on the family. Helena concluded with gratitude for the support she has received and expressed a sense that her nana will live on through stories, humor, and the strength she embodied, even as she grieves.
