Celebrity Gogglebox fans 'switch off' and issue same complaint within minutes

Viewers of Celebrity Gogglebox were left disappointed and "switched off" the episode that aired on Friday (December 20), after a medley of old episodes aired instead of a new one that was promised.

The popular show, which sees regular people or celebrity duos react to current TV shows, attracts millions of loyal fans every Friday. However, viewers were left disgruntled when they realised that the 'new' episode was actually a repeat featuring celebrities such as Gok Wan, Fearne Cotton, and Martin and Roman Kemp watching TV shows from months ago.

One viewer criticised the move, saying: "Sat down to watch the 'Brand New' #CelebrityGogglebox only to find out that it's actually just a compilation of stuff broadcast months ago.

"That's weak of Gogglebox," another viewer expressed as another stated: "#Gogglebox Where is Gogglebox? Why have Ch4 put on a summer edition with so called celebrities in it? Not good I'll watch No Time To Die. Thanks for nothing, Ch4."

A third viewer added: "Really getting f***** off with the TV recently! EVERYTHING seems to be repeats! Got settled to watch Celeb Gogglebox thinking it was a new series, or a Christmas special! Oh how wrong am I! YET AGAIN ANOTHER REPEAT! Utter sh***"

Another viewer echoed these sentiments, saying: "#celebritygogglebox how can this be advertised as 'new celebrity gogglebox' it was basically filmed In the summer . Not up to date at all. A lot has happened since then."

Some viewers also took issue with the celebrities criticising US president Donald Trump after a clip of him was shown, reports the Express.

The episode also featured appearances from Rylan Clark and his mum Linda; Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash; Shaun Ryder and Bez; Jane McDonald and her best friend Sue;
