So deeply saddened at the passing of our dear, dear Leon. He was and always will be the grandfather of #gogglebox - an absolute star who always made me laugh with his sharp wit and unshakable opinions. Much love and strength to June and the Bernicoff family. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/hFJdkNDBd1
Along with his wife June, he had been a staple of the show and one of its most popular personalities – being the first members of the public cast for the show back in 2013.
Former Goggleboxer Scarlett Moffatt tweeted out how sad it was to hear the news
Other members of the show also shared their emotions at such a tragic time
Whoops!

So terribly sorry to hear the dreadful news about Leon!! Our hearts are with June and his family - what a dreadful loss to us all - he was always so cheeky and adored - the show will never be the same without him #leonliveson Huge #Chinchin in his honour
Our deepest condolences go out to the family and friends of Leon, the Evertonian who entertained the nation on @C4Gogglebox. Our thoughts are especially with his wife June at this terribly sad time. 💙 pic.twitter.com/eydpyZ4a1i
This clip really sums up what Leon and June brought to the show, and why he’ll be sorely missed
What I loved about #Leon was his outspoken manner, his contempt for the Tories, his annoyance at silly things, but most of all his love for June ❤️❤️❤️ pic.twitter.com/DfQaaTJrzT
