Tributes to County Durham Gogglebox Star Who Died After Illness
The former postmaster and local councillor appeared on Gogglebox with his wife Anne from 2020 to 2022.
Gogglebox star Ken Harwood has died at age 77 following a short illness, with production company Studio Lambert confirming a tribute will air on tonight's Channel 4 episode.
Born in Consett, County Durham, in 1948, Harwood spent 30 years as a postmaster and later served as a local councillor until retiring in 2013.
Harwood appeared alongside his wife, Anne, for five series of Gogglebox between 2020 and 2022, married 55 years, with their debut featuring his gift of 50 roses to her.
Audiences praised the couple's natural chemistry, particularly their humor on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, during which Harwood quipped there was "nothing wrong" with Britain except the weather.
Studio Lambert stated Harwood will be "dearly missed" by his wife Anne, sons Simon and Ross, and grandchildren Freya and Tristram.
