Fan favourite Jenny Newby narrowly avoided an accident on tonight's (October 18) episode of Gogglebox.

The show opened with a clip of Jenny as she came face-to-face with a remote-controlled drone. The white drone, which was being controlled by her friend Lee Riley, zoomed into the frame and made a beeline for Jenny's head.

"Does it talk?" she nervously asked Lee, who was standing off-screen during the whole scene. The drone made a loud whirring noise as it hovered close to Jenny, who swiftly moved out of its way.

"Innit good?" Lee enthused, whilst his friend pleaded for him to "go careful!" The machine continued to whir ominously as Lee admitted he was "still getting the hang of it, though".

In an attempt to figure out the controls, Lee flew the drone in and out of the frame, with an anxious Jenny keeping a close eye on it. She asked why he had the toy but Lee was preoccupied and accidentally flew the drone into the curtains.

However, that wasn't the only close-call of the clip, as he brought the noisy machine inches away from Jenny's face.

"Say hello to Jenny," Lee told the drone. But as Jenny began to greet the drone, Lee lost control and flew it straight at her head.

Luckily, the star's quick response helped her narrowly avoid an on-air accident. She was able to dodge the toy, which instead crashed into the teddy bear seated behind her.

Will Lee figure out how to work the drone, or will there be another mishap next week?
