LEON BERNICOFF passed away at the age of 83.
The Gogglebox star and Everton fan died in hospital yesterday, leaving his wife June and family grieving at this difficult time.
The elderly man and his wife June were fan favourites on Gogglebox.
He was known for his cheeky sense of humour and wise insights into scandals and news items, and his nuggets of knowledge didn't fall on deaf ears.
His wife June and fellow co-star Scarlett Moffatt have paid tribute to the former reality star.
June took to their joint Twitter account to thank people for their well wishes following his death.
Thankyou Folks for all your wonderful messages. Leon would have loved reading them & hearing how much he was loved. Goodnight & God Bless!
