Channel 4 under fire as Gogglebox fans left fuming over missing feature

Channel 4 was under fire from Gogglebox fans during tonight's episode.

The latest edition in season 18 aired on Friday as our favourite entertainment personalities invited us into their home to comment on the week's best TV.

Families such as the Malones, the Sandifords and the Warners returned to provide witty observations on shows such as Sitting on Fortune, Close to Me and Nadiya's Fast Flavours.

However, fans of the show on Twitter were furious when the subtitles features was not working meaning they couldn't follow the opening segment following the Great British Bake Off winner's newest venture.

@Television_Live said: "No Subtitles on #Gogglebox again @Channel4"

Lisa added: "Would love to know what they were saying..."

Another user said: "Please sort your b****y subtitles out will you please. I look forward to #Gogglebox all week and no subtitles means I can't watch it properly."

Jonathan tweeted: "No subtitles on Gogglebox this evening."

Lisa asked: "Why are there no subtitles???"

Fenella commented: "Subtitles gone again."

Stella added: "Really CH4!!! REALLY? No subtitles again???"

Channel 4 experienced issues recently with its subtitle feature as they were plagued with issues following a fire alarm at the broadcast centre on September 25.

While this problem lasted for a number of weeks, they were quick to resolve the issue on tonight's episode as the subtitles were back up before the first advert break.

Gogglebox airs on Friday's at 9pm on Channel 4
