Gogglebox fans threaten to boycott Channel 4 show as they call for ban

Gogglebox has come under fire from viewers who have threatened to boycott the Channel 4 reality show after watching the most recent episode.

Fans are calling for a ban on all political segments following Friday night's show where the cast were seen reacting to Andrew Marr quizzing Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Viewers took to social media to express their views, with some even saying they will stop watching the show should they keep airing politics, Birmingham Live reports.

Fans say producers are "sucking the fun" out of the show as Pete and Sophie Sandiford along with the rest of the cast passed comment on the latest government affairs.

One viewer fumed: "They haven't watched Gordon, Gino and Fred yet on this. I want to see them watching taskmaster, Sick of politics as well"

A second wrote: "Used to occasionally watch Gogglebox for a laugh. No more. Not interested in what any of them think about Universal Credit or any politics."

While a third added: "I wish they wouldn’t put politics on here. This is supposed to be fun"

The show saw another viewer fume: “Inflation’s gone through the [bleep] roof, so it costs more to live, but obviously Boris doesn’t see it like that with his £500 a role [sic] wallpaper.”

The episode also saw the Goggleboxers watch Squid Game and BBC's Strictly Come Dancing.

Other favourites to appear included Ellie Warner and sister Izzy, as well as the Siddiqui family in Derbyshire, and Manchester family the Malones.

Giles and Mary also featured, as did the beloved Jenny and Lee from Hull.
