Fans of Channel 4’s Gogglebox were absolutely fuming on Friday. After being treated to brand new episodes for the last few weeks, many viewers were gutted to tune in this week to a repeat of the Celebrity spin-off version instead.
The show sees a number of famous faces getting cosy on their couches to keep up to date with another week of television as they share their hilarious thoughts and commentaries. Fans watch on as regulars such as Rylan Clark and his mother Linda, Danni and Danny Dyer and Happy Mondays stars Shaun Ryder and Bez all laugh and cry at whatever they’re watching. However, instead of an episode from the latest series, fans were instead shown a compilation repeat from series 6, which originally aired last year – much to their dismay.

Fans online showed how unhappy they were with having no new content. Posting to X (formerly Twitter), one complained: “Thanks for ruining my day @Channel4, not having a new #Gogglebox.”
Another fumed: “It’s a crappy repeat #gogglebox how shite for a Friday night #lazy,” while a third echoed: “Erm…why is a 2024 episode of Gogglebox playing?! #gogglebox #celebritygogglebox.”
“A compilation Gogglebox is always disappointing. Even worse when it’s one from last year. What gives, Channel 4? #Gogglebox #CelebrityGogglebox,” one more posted.
The episode looked at some stand out moments from the series including clips from Bridgerton, MILF Manor, George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces, In with a Shout, America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, The UnXplained: Mysteries of the Universe, and coverage of the Glastonbury Festival and Donald Tr::u::mp’s victory in the 2024 US presidential election.
The final episode of the latest series brought a fantastic end as two more faces were introduced to the lineup. Hannah Waddingham and Tim Minchin made their first appearance in the star-studded lineup on Friday, July 11.
The award-winning maestro Tim Minchin expressed his excitement: “Things I love: cheese, rosé, comfy couches, Hannah Waddingham.” And added: “In combining them, I achieved a life-goal I didn’t know existed. Thank you, Gogglebox.”
BBC Radio 2 star Sara Cox and her companion, Clare Hamilton, also joined the show. Sara previously gushed: “I love watching and shouting at the telly and I love hanging out and having a laugh with my best mate, so doing Gogglebox with Clare is the dream.”
