Gogglebox fans were united in their reaction as they settled down to watch the much-anticipated return of the hit series. After a brief hiatus, the nation’s beloved sofa pundits made their comeback on Friday (February 14) evening, ready to dish out their latest takes on the week’s television offerings.
This episode saw them tuning into Celebrity Bear Hunt, The Apprentice, Go Back to Where You Came From, Michael McIntyre’s Big Show, and Boarders. It didn’t take long for viewers at home to flood social media with their glee. Over on X, previously known as Twitter, one enthusiast wrote: “Thank god #gogglebox is back.” Another chimed in with: “I’m so glad #Gogglebox is back @Channel4.”
A third fan expressed their joy: “Yay! Gogglebox is back in the room! Happy days are here again.”, reports the Mirror. While another simply celebrated: “Yay new series of #gogglebox.”
However, not all attention was on the shows being critiqued; some fans couldn’t help but notice Tom Malone’s questionable decision to rest his feet close to a plate of confectionery.
One viewer complained: “#Gogglebox Stop putting your feet next to the cakes Malone ffs.” This sentiment was echoed by another who commented: “Really p****s me off seeing a man with his shoes on right next to a plate of cakes #Gogglebox the Malone family.”
And a third added their disgust: “#gogglebox bad enough with his feet next to the cakes but the dog slathering all over them. Yuk.”
Dave and Shirley Griffiths have delighted their followers with some thrilling news. The beloved duo attended the TV Choice Awards at the London Hilton on Park Lane this past Monday, where Gogglebox was a contender for the best entertainment show.
They were ecstatic to announce that the show had clinched the award, sharing a snapshot holding the trophy and captioning it: “We done it #tvchoiceawards. Thanks to everyone who voted cheers your the best.”
The comments section was soon brimming with warm wishes and congratulations. One fan commented: “My favourite Gogglebox couple.”
Another chimed in with: “Well deserved.” Another fan sent their “Love from CA,”, and yet another added: “Congratulations. You both look amazing.”
The Siddiquis, another family from Gogglebox, joined in the celebration by re-sharing the post and adding their own cheer with a simple “Yay.”
