THEY MET 51 YEARS AGO WHILE PUSHING THEIR NEWBORN SONS DOWN A HOSPITAL CORRIDOR — NOW JUDE AND SHERRY ARE TAKING THEIR EXTRAORDINARY FRIENDSHIP TO THE GOGGLEBOX SOFA. ❤️📺

Some Friendships Begin With A Chance Meeting.

Others Somehow Grow Into A Lifetime.

For Jude, 76, And Sherry, 77, It All Started 51 Years Ago At Queen Charlotte’s Maternity Hospital, When Their Sons Were Born Just A Day Apart.

The Two Women Met While Pushing Their Newborn Babies Along The Hospital Corridor.

Neither Could Have Known It At The Time, But That Ordinary Moment Would Become The Beginning Of A Friendship That Has Lasted For More Than Five Decades.

Their Lives Would Change.

Their Children Would Grow Up.

And There Would Be Years When They Didn’t See As Much Of Each Other.

But Their Bond Never Disappeared.

Then Came One Of The Hardest Chapters Of Their Lives.

In 2009 And 2010, Jude And Sherry Were Both Widowed Just A Year Apart.

And Instead Of Drifting Apart, The Two Friends Became Even Closer.

Their Friendship Became A Source Of Comfort, Companionship And, Eventually, A Reason To Keep Exploring The World.

In 2017, They Started Travelling Together.

Since Then, Their Adventures Have Taken Them To Sri Lanka, Mexico, Bangkok, Singapore, Penang, Malacca And Goa — With Chile Already On Their List For Their Next Trip.

Now, They’re Swapping Their Passports For A Television Sofa As They Make Their Gogglebox Debut.

And If Their Friendship Is Anything To Go By, They Won’t Be Short Of Opinions.

The Pair Are Joining The Channel 4 Favourite With Plenty Of Stories, Plenty Of Personality — And, Apparently, An Impressive Supply Of chilled chocolate and wine.

For Sherry, The Chance To Become Part Of the Gogglebox family is another adventure to experience together.

For Jude, it is something completely new at a stage of life when many people might be tempted to slow down.

Instead, They’re Doing The Opposite.

They’re Trying Something New.

They’re Sitting Side By Side.

And They’re Giving Themselves Another Story To Tell.

BECAUSE JUDE AND SHERRY DIDN’T JUST FIND A FRIENDSHIP 51 YEARS AGO — THEY FOUND SOMEONE TO GROW OLD WITH, LEAN ON, TRAVEL WITH, AND NOW, WATCH TELEVISION WITH. ❤️

From A Hospital Corridor With Two Newborn Sons To A World Of Adventures Together, Their Story Has Already Given Them A Lifetime Of Memories.

And Now, There’s A New Chapter Waiting On The Gogglebox Sofa.

AFTER 51 YEARS OF FRIENDSHIP, COUNTLESS MILES, TWO WIDOWHOODS AND A LIFETIME OF MEMORIES, JUDE AND SHERRY MAY BE THE NEWEST FACES ON GOGGLEBOX — BUT THEIR STORY BEGAN LONG BEFORE THE CAMERAS EVER FOUND THEM. ❤️📺✈️
