Gogglebox regular Pete McGarry dies at 71
Tributes have been XO paid to Gogglebox regular Pete McGarry, who has died after
a short illness at the age of 71.
Top Gear host Paddy McGuinness said it was "such a shame", describing the Clacton
native as "one of the OGs".
OG stands for "original gangster" but is more likely intended as "original Goggleboxer"
in this context.
McGarry initially joined the Channel 4 programme for its second series in 2013 along
with wife Linda and her son George Gilbey.
Linda and Pete returned to the show for the seventh series in 2016 and continued to
appear as series regulars up to 2020.
Channel 4 said McGarry died at the weekend with his family by his side and that
he would be "dearly missed" by the Gogglebox team.
It said his family had requested privacy and that his death was not related to
the coronavirus pandemic.
Pete and Linda combined their TV appearances with their roles as foster parents to
more than 100 children over the last 20 years.
"I always say all you need to be a foster parent is a spare room, a sense of humour
and a good heart," Linda told the Daily Star in 2016.作者: martina28043 時間: 2021-6-30 21:00
