'I remember she got a text from her dad going because I think we were going away and he had to look up the date of my birth. He searched for Gav Murphy RKG online and the first thing came up as "The Grotmeister".

'And then he started texting me as the as the Grot going like, "Do put Grotmeister on the airport thing?" I saw the text come through and I was just like, argh that just changes lots of things now, doesn't it?'

However, Gav added: 'Luckily he's quite grotty so it's fine.'

Jonathan hit the headlines in 2024, after he compared himself and wife Jane to a 'pair of dirty hamsters in straw' as he admitted he showers less than once a week. 

The comedian shared his detest of grooming while speaking on the Parenting Hell podcast, saying: 'Do you think I give enough of a s**t about anything to bother spending any extra time on grooming whatsoever?

'I resent the fact that I have to shower. I sometimes go at least a week without showering - at least. So does Jane sometimes. We're like a couple of hamsters in their own straw in that bed.'

Revealing when the last time he showered was, Jonathan said: 'It was yesterday. Why bother doing it two days in a row, what's wrong with you? I didn't do any exercise.'

He even confessed he once went two weeks without washing in the Florida heat because he thought he'd been in a swimming pool - but then discovered he still smelled badly

He added: 'When we were on holiday - we have a place over in Florida - because it's sunny and I'm jumping in and out the swimming pool, I probably didn't shower properly for two weeks.

'And I had a smell under my right armpit, and I thought "That's bad, I better get rid of that". So I had a shower, it didn't go. Had another one, it didn't go. 

'I'm not making this up. I had to shave the hair off my armpit to get rid of it. It was so ingrained. I just did the one. Why would you do two? The other one was still fresh. I favour one, so the right arm was doing all the work.'

However, he did say sometimes if he decides to have a bath he will shower just before, so that he's not sat in filthy water and dead skin.

He said: 'The other extreme though is I sometimes shower before having a bath. That's the Japanese way.'

Explaining why, he added 'because you're lying in what's coming off your body so why would you bathe first and lie in the debris?'

Prior to finding love with Honey, Gav was in a relationship with artist Clara Sinclair, with whom he adopted his beloved pet chihuahua, Coco.

While Honey previously dated Zane Saz for several years, with the musician who appearing alongside her and dad Jonathan on Celebrity Gogglebox.

Prior to her romances with Gav and Zane, she previously wrote an article for The Times Style mag detailing the difficulties she's faced in her dating life as a plus size woman, claiming she has often been 'oversexualised' or 'desexualised' by men.

The body image activist revealed that men frequently slid into her DMs to try to chat her up, but would never publicly admit to being attracted to her because she's 'fat'.

She explained that many men who message and follow her online would never talk to her in front of their friends because of her size, even if they were complimentary in private messages - branding their desire for larger bodies 'their dirty secret'. 

Honey wrote about the unspoken pressure to lose weight that she felt for a long time, but she now believes her curves are her secret power to sort the good men from the bad - adding she is now 'punching higher than she used to' when looking for a partner.

'Whether it's swiping right or sliding into my Instagram DMs, I get a lot of sexual attention,' she wrote in the 2020 piece.

'Strangers and mutuals alike are privately trying to get my attention. But note the word "privately": most of these men who message and follow me would never publicly like or comment on my pictures.

'Their desire for fat bodies is their dirty secret, hidden in inboxes across the world.' 

The activist and producer explained that has often been oversexualised by men 'to the point of fetish' and faced 'violently sexual opening lines', including 'you're edible' and 'I'm skinning you'.

She also wrote that fellow larger women have gone through similar experiences, and that plus-size women dating have to juggle the opinion they have of themselves as well as their partner's and society's opinion. 

Honey shared that during dates she was often 'reduced to her frame' when men spoke about her, with various companions proclaiming they prefer to date larger women and don't find thin women attractive.

While she said her dating profile used to read 'fatter in person' as a self-deprecating joke, and realised recently that other people had been doing the same as a kind of 'warning' to fellow app users. 

Honey added that, being friends with predominantly thin women, she used to struggle with seeing the nice responses they would get online compared to what people said about her.

While she said her thin pals were 'horrified' when they found out the sheer volume of unpleasant messages Honey receives.
