On Wednesday (January 21), Tom and Julie posted two photographs of Lee on Instagram after he completed a demanding sporting challenge.

One image shows Lee standing shirtless with his mate before the results board, whilst another features him alongside his partner and their two youngsters.

The couple wrote: "Well done to our son Lee and his friend Craig! Great time, lads, at 01.02.33 love that Sarah, Grayson and Caelan went to cheer Daddy on!"

Supporters quickly flooded the comments with congratulatory messages for Lee, with one fan writing: "Fantastic," whilst another responded: "Wow."

Meanwhile, Tom and Julie have recently welcomed a fresh addition to their household after unveiling their new pooch in a Gogglebox episode that broadcast on New Year's Day.

Having graced the programme for 11 years, the Malone clan, based in Manchester, were regularly spotted enjoying their television viewing accompanied by their beloved Rottweiler companions.

This hasn't prevented the Malones from opening their doors to a creature requiring care, with the family revealing they've taken in another canine.

During the episode, which featured Tom and Julie's son, Shaun, and their granddaughter, Saoirse, the household introduced their latest rescue puppy.

Tom enquired of Saoirse: "Who have we got here?" whilst their fresh four-legged friend bounded into the room to frolic with the youngster.

Disclosing the newest family member's moniker, Tom questioned his grandchild: "Buddy! Is he your new doggie? Have you rescued him from the pound?" to which Saoirse responded, "Yeah," as the pup carried on playing.

Tom jested: "We got this again have we? We got another nutcase in the house, haven't we? All right buddy are you the nutcase of the house now?!"
