Celebrity Gogglebox star walked off in disgust in unaired scene

A Coronation Street star walked off in disgust during an unaired scene on Celebrity Gogglebox.

Maureen Lipman, who plays Evelyn Plummer in the ITV soap, was extremely unhappy as she watched a risque Channel 4 show.

So much so, she walked out of the living room and returned with a bag over her head to spare her blushes.

Maureen told the Mirror: “Without question, the worst thing we watch is Naked Attraction.

"It’s a long time since I’ve seen five uncircumcised penises all in a row. And I hope it’s a long time before I see them again.”

Maureen, 74, added: “With the willies, I walked out of the room.

“I said, ‘I have one life and I do not intend to spend another moment here watching this’.

"So I got a carrier bag and put it on my head and I came back in. I had a glass of wine inside the carrier bag.

“I thought it was pretty funny, but obviously the powers that be didn’t and it was never shown.”

Maureen’s Gogglebox companion Gyles Brandreth didn’t share her discomfort.

He said: “I find it rather gripping.

"It allows me to watch programmes... I wouldn’t dare watch with my wife”.

Celebrity Gogglebox continues Fridays at 9pm on Channel 4.
