Gogglebox viewers disturbed by 'awkward' Edinburgh One Night Stand contestant

Gogglebox returned for another episode on Friday night, and viewers had plenty to say about a TV show involving a man from Edinburgh.

The Channel 4 show takes viewers right into living rooms across the UK as families and friends react live to popular and trending TV shows.

Friday's instalment saw the couples — including Roisin and Joe from Glasgow — react to Britain's Got Talent, Gordon Ramsay's Future Food Stars, Freeze the Fear with Wim and Hof, Good Morning Britain, and One Night Stand.

Though it was the latter that caught many Gogglebox viewers' attention.

One Night Stand is a reality show that sees couples who had a one-night stand reunited to find out if their romance can be rekindled.

Unconventional Edinburgh contestant James, who is a steam train enthusiast, said he would pick "steam engines over sex any day", and wanted another chance with horse lover Lorna, whom he met at a "steam fair".

Following an "awkward" reintroduction, in which it was revealed that the two had only shared a brief kiss and a hug, Lorna decided not to spend the night with James.

Viewers watching Gogglebox at home, who were witnessing the program for the first time, had a lot of thoughts to share about it.

They were quick to take to Twitter, with one stating: "Imagine meeting up with a one night stand again this is AWKWARD"

"This is awkward," a second agreed.

A third tweeted: "I’d pick a steam engine over sex any day' Oooook..."

"Where do I sign up for one of these steam things," a fourth joked.

Another questioned: "Why would you want to see your one night stand again? That’s the whole point.. one night."

"I thought the whole point of a one night stand is that you don’t have to see them again," echoed a sixth.

A seventh meanwhile wondered: "Since when is kissing someone a one night stand?"
