Celebrity Gogglebox fans 'furious' over scenes in Friday night's episode

Last night the nation settled down for Channel 4's latest episode of Gogglebox.

After the normal version of the show ended for the year last weekend, Channel 4 announced that a new Celebrity Gogglebox would be shown at 9pm instead.

However, viewers were left less than impressed when they realised that the show was a 2020 recap - full of the best bits from the year - instead of a new episode.

Taking to Twitter, fans blasted the show, with one person writing: "How can @C4Gogglebox pass this off as a new episode? Honest question #Gogglebox."

Another disgruntled viewer said: "Hang on. Is this Gogglebox new or.....? #Gogglebox #channel4."

"Repeats. So not 'New' then. #gogglebox," wrote a third.

Somebody else tweeted: " #CelebrityGogglebox I stayed up to watch the advertised 'New: Celebrity Gogglebox' episode and it's a repeat! We've been tricked enough this year. #NotFunny."

Gogglebox: Best of 2020 will air on Christmas day at 9.10pm with a look back at the shows highlights with our favourite armchair critics.

Then the next big episode is the Gogglebox: Festive Special which will see the telly stars watch this year's biggest Christmas TV shows and giving their usual honest opions.

So we will get to see everyone - from Jenny and Lee, Sophie and Pete, the Malones and the Siddiquis - before the New Year. Phew.
