Gogglebox Australia fans stunned to learn Tim Lai’s real age - NEWS.com.au

Tim Lai and his sister Leanne are known for their funny critiques of television shows on Gogglebox Australia.

However fans of the show, which airs on Foxtel, have been left in shock after discovering that his real age is 42.

It started when a viewer tweeted: “I saw an article this week … no way Tim is (in his) forties. No way!”

“Fake news,” tweeted another fan.

Tim even got involved, saying that he is often mistaken as somebody much younger and that, “No one believes it until they see the driver’s licence!”

Tim and his sister Leanne, 30, were new additions to the cast of Gogglebox last year.

During the season premiere, Tim became emotional when talking about a family tragedy that he had suffered.

While Tim and Leanne watched Kylie Kwong in an interview with Ahn Do, during an episode of Ahn’s Brush With Fame, she revealed how she and her wife Nell lost their son Lucky in 2012 when he was born prematurely.

Tim admitted to going through something similar.

“I went through something just as hard,” Tim said through tears.

“I was a father … I had the high, I’d been told that it was successful.

“It is the most heart-wrenching thing I’ve ever had to go through.”

A year prior, Tim and his long-term friend made a joint decision to try for a baby via a surrogate, with the two agreeing to co-parent.

The surrogate lost the baby right before Tim was due to announce the IVF was successful and that he was going to be a dad.

Malaysian-born Tim, who is in a long-term relationship with his partner Mark, and his sister are known among viewers for their zest for life and sense of humour, making the moment all the more heartbreaking.
