‘[The secret is] definitely being honest with each other,’ said Keith. 

‘We’re very big on that and no matter what, always tell each other the truth. On top of that we’re big on fun.’    

And while Lee only has eyes for Keith, she did joke that she has a crush on celebrity chef Manu Fieldel saying: ‘I think it’s the accent that gets every time!’

Last week, the couple revealed that they are heartbroken they’ve been unable to visit their eight-month-old granddaughter, Riley, due to Melbourne’s stage-four lockdown.

Melburnians can only leave their homes for work, care giving, medical reasons or on compassionate grounds.

The couple told TV Week they live just 12 minutes away from Riley and her parents, but that’s still too far under the current COVID-19 restrictions.

‘She’s our son’s little girl and they live 12 minutes – but more than five kilometres – [away] from us. It’s just so hard. I miss her cuddles,’ Lee said.

Keith added: ‘She was just beginning to recognise our voices, too. I hope she doesn’t forget who we are.’

The Gogglebox favourites welcomed their first grandchild in January.
