Each week, Jenny writes down key phrases and character names in the hope that she’ll be able to detect future twists and turns.
Actor Gregory Piper, who plays PC Ryan Pilkington in the BBC drama, was left overjoyed after his character’s name made it into the detective notepad.
“Watching @C4Gogglebox and ‘Pilkington’ making it into Jenny’s notebook has made my day,” Piper wrote.
Gogglebox continues on Fridays at 9pm on Channel 4. Line of Duty airs on Sundays at 9pm on BBC One.
