Ex Gogglebox star Dom caught up in 'worst debate ever' on Good Morning Britain

Ex-Gogglebox star Dominic Parker was caught in the middle of a debate dubbed 'the worst ever' by viewers.

Good Morning Britain fans were left unamused at today's topic - wearing shoes indoors - with some even calling for an overhaul of the show. Hosts Richard Bacon and Kate Garraway welcomed former Gogglebox star Dominic Parker to the couch to debate the topic of shoes.

The discussion was whether or not shoes should be worn indoors or taken off before entering. The former Gogglebox castmate said he believes trainers should be removed in a battle to keep a clean home.

He said: "I'm sort of a shoes on kind of guy. But I have to say I agree with not wearing trainers in the house as much as I'd agree with not wearing welly boots in the house." Despite the calm nature of the topic, viewers were left fuming GMB was not tackling more important issues.

Taking to Twitter to share their outage, one viewer said: "@GMB a debate on whether we wear shoes indoors? With everything else going on in the world? Even if you wanted something a little lighthearted but shoes?!?! #gmb".

Another viewer said: "Are we actually having a ‘mass debate’ about wearing shoes in the house? #gmb"Another added: "The world's in crisis and the feature is wearing shoes WTF. #GMB."

Despite the topic only lasting five minutes, viewers said the debate was "pathetic." A final viewer added: "It is a bit of a pathetic news on a breakfast news show, who does and does not wear shoes indoors."
