Gogglebox fans crown new 'king and queen' after reaction to Will Smith's Oscars slap

Gogglebox fans have crowned a new "king and queen" of the much-loved Channel 4 programme after some hilarious responses during the latest episode.

Friday's instalment of the show saw our favourite armchair critics giving witty commentary on this week's best television. Stars were treated to Bridgerton, This Morning and Starstruck - as well as the infamous Will Smith "slap" at the Oscars.

Marcus and Mica had viewers in stitches as Marcus gave his best Busta Rhymes impression during a segment of Starstruck. Later, Mica began to tell Marcus off for being a "shopaholic" before realising he was actually browsing online to buy her a charger.

Reacting to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars, after a poorly judged joke at Jada Pinkett-Smith's expense, Mica said: "I don't think he knew she had alopecia you know".

Mica then added: "A woman's hair is her crown" before explaining she wouldn't expect Marcus to slap anyone for her. Marcus replied: "Thank god for that!"

Fans of the show were quick to praise the couple. Taking to Twitter, Brummie Becca said: "I love Mica and Marcus so much".

Millie Sansoye said: "Nahh Marcus and Mica are ultimate couple goals. The banter, the flirting... they're still madly in love with each other". Tom said: "Marcus and Mica are the funniest people on Gogglebox", while Tanya Reilly said: "Marcus and Mica are the king and queen of Gogglebox"

Gogglebox airs Fridays at 9pm on Channel 4 and All 4
