Gogglebox star Izzi Warner left viewers stunned when she revealed her single status on the show, admitting that she’s been without a partner for quite some time. The Channel 4 favourite, who features on the programme with her sister Ellie, caught fans off-guard as she disclosed her separation from her long-term boyfriend Grant.
The pair, who first appeared together on Izzi’s social media back in 2014, shared a Leeds home and have two children, son Bobby and daughter Bessie Rose. Izzi candidly opened up about their split, which happened 18 months ago, reports the Mirror.
In the latest episode, she laid out her ‘Mary Poppins’ list of attributes for an ideal man after Ellie encouraged her to describe what she’s looking for in a future partner. Izzi asked Ellie: “My partner who is practically perfect in every way, do you want to hear it? It’s quite extensive.”
She then outlined her requirements, saying: “I’ve separated it into essentials and nice-to-haves. So on the essentials we’ve got: hardworking, open-minded, kind, attractive, good with money, clean criminal record, zero drugs police/no drink problem, emotional intelligence, full head of hair, patient, discreet, loyal, supports my hobbies, wants to be my plus one.”
She added: “And then nice to haves: nice teeth, nice car, generous, good style, taller than me, cooks nice dinners. So hence why I’ve been single for the last 18 months.”
A fan on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter expressed their shock, posting: “Wait, Izzi is single? #Gogglebox.”
Another viewer was equally surprised, commenting, “Izzi single? I never knew that.”
The revelation also caught another fan off guard, who asked, “Wait what did izzy say that she was single?”.
This past May, the Gogglebox star and mortgage advisor Izzi earned admiration from fans when she revealed glimpses of her “first solo” holiday with her children. She gave her followers a look at their Disneyland trip in a video montage, remarking, “This was my first solo trip abroad with kids and I just threw myself in at the deep end but I am so glad I did! It was super tiring but so worth it for the memories we’ve made. This won’t be my last trip with them now I’ve done the first but maybe somewhere a bit more relaxing next time.”
Her fellow Gogglebox cast member Baasit Siddiqui responded with support, saying, “Awww looks like you had an amazing time. Well done for being outnumbered! It’s hard enough when both me and Mel have the munchkins together! “.
Meanwhile, several months ago, Izzi excited her Instagram followers with news of a delightful new family member, writing, “Not just a regular Mom, I’m a horse Mom,” as she proudly introduced her new horse. Elated and smiling broadly, Izzi shared, “It honestly feels like a childhood dream come true. I feel so lucky to have found such a special girl to make memories with.”
She concluded by revealing her horse’s name, “Some things are just meant to Bea.”
When questioned whether the horse was for her or her children, Izzi clarified that the horse was solely for her, stating: “She’s 15.2hh and built like a table so no. You just can’t see her size from front on.”
Another fan noted the horse’s large size, to which Izzi responded: “They’re like dinner plates!”
