Gogglebox stars horrified as Victoria Pendleton faints and seizures on Don’t Rock the Boat

Gogglebox ' stars were shocked as they watched horrifying scenes from Don't Rock The Boat on ITV as Olympian Victoria Pendleton collapsed.

In the worrying footage, Victoria fainted before shaking so hard the Gogglebox stars thought she was having a seizure.

She was caught by a medic who put her in the recovery position, and she was carried away to rest for several hours.

Don't Rock The Boat sees two groups of celebrities in a boat race from Land’s End to John O’Groats.

Not only did Victoria have difficulty, but Craig Charles was also violently sea sick during the race.

"It's a good job they have got Victoria on board isn't it," said Izzy Warner to her sister Ellie.

"She will be able to pick up Craig's slack pretty easily," said Pete Sandiford.

"Oh yeah, she will be able to row for all three of them if needs be," replied his sister Sophie.

"Oh no even the Olympian is going down now!" said Sophie as Victoria started to fall ill.

"That's call the red team need, Craig is spewing and Victoria's arms are hurting!"

Lee Riley said, stunned: "Oh she's fainted! What's going on?"

"She is having a seizure! She's shaking, look!" said a concerned Stephen Webb.

As the medic said Victoria would be having a prolonged rest, Stephen remarked: "Prolonged rest? Looks like she should be in the f**king hospital!"

One viewer tweeted: "Omg poor Victoria #Gogglebox ".

"Ellie ‘Victoria Pendleton she’s an Olympic athlete’ yeah not a bloody rower #Gogglebox," added another.

Meanwhile, Sophie Sandiford broke down in tears as she watched Boris Johnson's new lockdown announcement.

Sophie works as a window dresser, and as the new lockdown closed all non-essential shops, Sophie was utterly terrified she would lose her job.

"It's just sad isn't it," she replied, wiping away her tears. "It's just s**t for everybody, it's going to get even worse, more people are going to lose their jobs and things like that, it's just awful."

Her big brother Pete said: "Aww don't get upset kid, don't because you'll set me off!"

* Gogglebox airs Fridays at 9pm on Channel 4
