Gogglebox fans have been left floored after show favourites Dave and Shirley Griffiths shared a rare snap of their grown-up son.

The Welsh couple first joined the long-running Channel 4 programme back in 2015 – and it didn’t take them long to become firm favourites with viewers at home.

Over the years, from their Caerphilly home Dave and Shirley have had fans in stitches thanks to their hilarious one-liners and thoughts on the latest bits of telly.

However, unlike their co-stars, the couple – who have been married for 49 years – have never been joined by any of their other relatives.

Apart from their beloved dog, Dave and Shirley have opted to keep their family members away from the spotlight – including their two children, daughter Gemma and son, Simon.

However, on Wednesday (October 22) the pair took to their Instagram to tell their 208k followers some exciting news about Simon.

On their joint account, Dave and Shirley shared a topless snap of Simon competing in a fitness competition. Heavily tattooed Simon posed for the camera and rocked nothing but a pair of black gym shorts and a baseball cap as he flashed his buff body in the photo.

In the caption, the pair shared their pride over Simon’s accomplishment and wrote: “Our boy Simon completed the #HYROX challenge in 75 minutes well done butt”.

Meanwhile, Dave and Shirley’s loyal legion of fans rushed to the comments section to send their congrats to their son. One person said: “Well done Simon.” Another added: “Fantastic [fire emoji].” A third chimed in: “Excellent!”

They shared a sweet update about their son

Dave and Shirley’s son previously sent their fans into meltdown back in June 224, when his parents shared a photo of him posing topless in shorts while on holiday abroad. Viewers at the time commented: “Oh my. Just woke up to this wonderful image.” Someone else declared: “Handsome young lad!” A third chimed in: “Wow he’s proper fit!”

Much to the delight of fans, Dave and Shirley have returned for the new Gogglebox series – which started earlier this year. However, it is looking a little different, as it was announced in July that beloved stars Roisin Kelly and Joe Kyle would not be returning.

The couple became a part of Gogglebox history as the first Scottish pair to join the programme in February 2022. Announcing their departure from the Channel 4 show, Roisin took to TikTok to share the unfortunate update.
