Shirley and Dave Griffiths are taking a well-earned break from their filming commitments for Gogglebox, and their recent holiday snaps sparked quite the reaction from their followers.
The Caerphilly-based couple, who have been long-adored for their banter on the Channel 4 programme, have been on their summer holiday in Salou, Spain, and Dave posted a photo of his wife relaxing on the beach on a sun lounger.
Shirley, 70, beamed for the camera and looked totally relaxed on their sunny trip abroad. The TV star was smiling for the camera wearing a blue and white striped bikini with grey leggings, with a pink headband to keep her hair out of her face.

A third added: "Enjoy she looks great," while a fourth said Shirley was looking fabulous.

Dave and Shirley Griffiths' life away from the show
Dave and Shirley have been married for over 40 years and have been a staple part of the Gogglebox family for ten years now.
The couple live in Caerphilly with their daughter Gemma and son Simon, who prefer to remain off-camera, but the husband and wife often share photos of their grown-up kids on their social media.
