One of Gogglebox's best-loved stars has admitted she doesn't own a TV, and 'doesn't really watch telly' when she's not appearing on the Channel 4 show.

The 29-year-old has appeared on the show for more than half a decade. Helena Worthington can often be seen catching up on the latest telly with her mum, Alison and Dad, George.

But away from the show, the Manchester-born star's life is a lot different. Speaking to OK! at the TRIC Awards on Tuesday (June 27), she said: "I don't really watch telly at home, I don't have a TV but [Gogglebox is] how I catch up on what's going on.

I go to my mum's and use her electric to watch the telly." Try MEN Premium for FREE by clicking here for no ads, fun puzzles and brilliant new features.

Helena's mum Alison, also said that it's "lovely" she and her family get together once a week to film Gogglebox. "There's no getting out of it for Helena," said Alison. "She has to come and see her mum and dad." Helena added: "Well, it takes an hour on the bus for me so it's too much." Away from the show and spotlight, Helena is loved-up with artist partner Daniel.
