Dave retired from work this year
It’s certainly been a big year for Dave and Shirley. In March, Dave announced on social media that he had retired from work.
As well as appearing on Gogglebox, Dave worked as a cleaner in a factory. Shirley, on the other hand, works in retail.
However, in March Dave revealed that he had retired and waved goodbye to his cleaning job after 42 years.
“Saying goodbye to friends at work after 42 years time to call it a day thanks everyone xxx #gogglebox #retirement,” he wrote on X.
Dave attached a photo of his work colleagues. In the group photo, Shirley could also be seen wearing a spotty black and white dress.
