Remember Gogglebox’s Jay Makin? Here’s what the silent telly watcher is up to now
The TV personality has ditched the spotlight for a bar job
GOGGLEBOX legend Silent Jay appeared on the popular Channel 4 show with the Woerdenweber family from 2013 to 2014.
But after the quiet character broke up with Liverpool-based Eve in March, 2015, he disappeared from our telly screens.
Even though Jay Makin was notoriously not very talkative on Gogglebox, he opened up to The Sun following the tough split.
The Birkenhead-based TV star said: “I’m gutted that Eve broke up with me. It came completely out of the blue.
“We had a few problems and started drifting apart but I thought it was down to the pressure of the show and her business. We argued too much and she said couldn’t cope with it.

He added: “She called after a big argument and said she didn’t want to go out with me any more.
“Eve said she still wants to be friends but hasn’t spoken to me and has deleted me on Facebook. It really hurts, we were so close.”
After finishing filming for the series, Jay quit the Gogglebox cast.
His ex Eve has since moved on by getting engaged to her new boyfriend Josh.
But what is silent Jay up to now?
It seems that the quiet TV personality has decided to follow a more conventional path, as he's now working in a bar.
From July 2015, he's been working in the floor staff team at Baa Bar Fleet Street, Liverpool.
Jay keeps a pretty low profile on social media, but he does sometimes tweet about local club nights.
Since leaving Gogglebox, Jay has decided to get rid of his longer locks and opts for a choppier hairstyle.
Jay isn't the only famous face to surprise fans with their transformation.
