Gogglebox viewers were left fuming as the show aired clips from The Circle USA, after the much-loved UK version was cancelled last year.
During Friday's (May 13) episode of the hit Channel 4 programme, viewers took to social media to express their outrage and Channel 4's "audacity" as Gogglebox stars were shown an episode of The Circle USA - which originally began on Channel 4 and aired for three seasons until it was cancelled in May 2021.
But the USA version of the reality TV show made an appearance on Gogglebox tonight, sparking fury in fans who miss the show - with many calling for it to be brought back to UK screens.

@ZahraFatih72 tweeted: "The AUDACITY of Channel 4 showing #TheCircle USA on #Gogglebox after cancelling our much superior version."
@elliot_gonzalez commented: "Good to see #TheCircle back on Channel 4… shame though that it’s only a clip of the (brilliant) Netflix US series on #Gogglebox. Easily the best reality TV format since Big Brother."
"I want the UK version of The Circle to come back. #Gogglebox" @JackBatchelor3 echoed.
@turntheboxon added: "Literally me watching @Channel4 showing #TheCircle on #Gogglebox after they cancelled it. BRING IT BACK."
"Oh great it looks like im going to start binge watching the circle usa lol #TheCircleNetflix #Gogglebox" @RockgirlFiona said.
@Wandoful fumed: "The worst decision Channel 4 ever made was axing The Circle UK. The Circle USA is so good #BringItBack #TheCircleNetflix #Gogglebox."
"Channel 4 showing #TheCircle on #Gogglebox when they axed it," @turntheboxon penned.
The TV show involved a group of people living on their own in a block of flats talking to other players through a computer, where participants can chose to play as themselves or catfish others.
