So it looks like she won't be returning.

June Bernicoff has announced that she will not be coming back to Gogglebox following the death of her husband Leon. When a fan tweeted: “Would you do the show with one of your daughters? X” June responded: “It was a great adventure with a great finale with the NTA?” https://twitter.com/LeonAndJune/status/956660885312933889 Her reply was a nod to the National Television Awards, when Goggleboxers dedicated their Best Factual Entertainment award to her late husband. Fans were quick to respond to June's decision. https://twitter.com/ladyshazza27/status/956661973634158594 https://twitter.com/KatyHealey1987/status/956988804899987456 https://twitter.com/JulieJules1717/status/956841191181639680     The Scouse pair were fan favourites on the show. Following Leon's passing Channel Four and production company Studio Lambert, released a statement paying tribute to him. It read: "Leon's unique personality and sharp wit endeared him to fans of the show, as he contributed fully to Gogglebox's reputation as a programme full of warm humour and unvarnished opinion. "To those of us that knew him personally, Leon was a man of unwavering principles who exerted a distinct paternal presence both on and off screen. He will be dearly missed by the entire Gogglebox family; cast and crew."
