Gogglebox fans were left raging after two of the show’s stars took a shock swipe at Adolescence’s Stephen Graham during Friday’s episode.
As couple, Giles Wood and Mary Killen, tuned in to watch the hit Netflix drama, Mary’s comments had some viewers less than impressed.
Adolescence which aired on the streaming service on March 13, has smashed more records with 66.3 million viewers – making it the most-watched UK title ever for Netflix.
The series follows the story of a young boy called Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper), who gets accused of killing his female classmate Katie (Emilia Holliday).
Explaining the show to Giles, Mary said: ‘This is incredible because Stephen Graham – you know that actor who always plays short northerners – he has also co-written it.’
Sharing their thoughts on X, fans wrote: ‘He always plays short Notherners Really?? Sheesh Mary.’

They added: ‘”Always plays short northerners” Cheeky f***ing cow I’ll never stop praying for you to get rid of Giles and Mary. Unbearable’; ‘Mary on #Gogglebox is not nice at all.’
But, other’s found the comment funny and added: ‘Only going to refer to Stephen Graham as “that actor who always plays short northerners” from now on’;
‘Well I think Giles & Mary are ok they’re just eccentric bit different- don’t deserve the hate towards them from some’; ‘I know some people really don’t like Giles and Mary, but they crack me up.’
Meanwhile, Adolescence left some of the stars of Gogglebox in tears as they tuned into watch the hit Netflix drama.
The hard-hitting storyline very much affected the cast of the Channel 4 programme, with many shocked and saddened while watching the scenes unfold.
While fan favourites Jenny and Lee looked visibly moved, newcomers Michael and Sally were seen wiping away tears as they watched with sons Jake and Harry.
As she sat alongside brother Simon, Jane admitted that she ‘stopped breathing’ while taking in the programme – which explores themes of misogyny, incel culture and the dangers of the online world.
Elsewhere, as the police burst in to arrest Jamie, Mary asked: ‘How can a little chap like that murder anyone?’, with Julie Malone remarking that her ‘heart is absolutely hammering!’

It comes as Stephen Graham has issued a shock update on a second series of Adolescence after the ‘overwhelming’ response to the record-breaking Netflix hit.
The four-part series has received rave reviews over the past three weeks and many are desperate to know if there will be a second series.
Speaking with Variety, Stephen, who plays Jamie’s dad Eddie Miller, said: ‘Possibly, let’s see how the figures are.
‘But yeah, there’s the possibility of developing another story.’
Meanwhile Stephen’s wife Hannah Walters, who plays Mrs. Bailey in the show, added of the positive reviews: ‘It’s been overwhelming.’
She also said: ‘A prequel to Adolescence, that’s certainly not going to happen.
‘But there’s so much mileage in the one-shot and so much mileage in investing into human nature again and looking at something else.

‘But yeah, everything’s looking good… everyone’s happy, shall we say?’
Stephen, who created and wrote the show alongside Jack Thorne, has admitted that he didn’t expect Adolescence to be so popular.
He added to the publication: ‘I suppose what I’m trying to say is that we had no idea that it would impact socially the way it has…
‘But it seems to have cut through all the race, creed and hierarchical structures of society with the message that it’s carrying about our youth.’
Over the weekend Adolescence made British TV history, becoming the first streaming show ever to become the most-watched programme of the week.
The drama has captivated audiences and critics since it hit Netflix earlier this month, with each episode filmed in a single continuous take.

Adolescence cast (L to R) Ashley Walters, Owen Cooper, Stephen Graham, Erin Doherty, Christine Tremarco
While the show is already being tipped for a string of BAFTA nominations, figures published by ratings body BARB on Sunday showed that the first episode was watched by 6.45 million people in its first week.
The number makes it the biggest audience for any streaming show in the UK in a single week, beating the 6.3 million who watched Fool Me Once on Netflix last year.

The show’s protagonist Jamie Miller is played by Owen Cooper in his acting debut, while his dad Eddie is played by Stephen Graham.
Top Boy legend Ashley Walters took on the role of DI Luke Bascombe and Erin Doherty plays psychiatrist Briony Ariston.
