Gogglebox fans call for pair to be axed complaining they are 'not suitable for TV'

A new series of Gogglebox began on Channel 4 on Friday (February 14) night, now into it's 25th season. Fans took to social media on Friday night to share how excited they were to see the popular Channel 4 series back on TV. One viewer, posting on X (formerly Twitter), said: "All hail the utterly terrific @C4Gogglebox. How is it so darn therapeutic watching people just watch TV? "Always the much needed delight relief a sh***y day requires. Bravo to all involved..... #Gogglebox." While another fan added: "I'm so glad #Gogglebox is back @Channel4."
