Celebrity Gogglebox has responded following the dramatic exit of David Davison from The Bridge. David, who was born in Carmarthenshire, left the Channel 4 reality series with £25,000 but not before he angered his fellow contestants by destroying five sections of the team's bridge, which you can read more about here. The stars of Celebrity Gogglebox gave their two-pence on David's early exit and in particular, comedian Jon Richardson, who did his own impression of the Welsh contestant. This, in turn, prompted a reaction from David on social media.
Both Jon and wife Anna were happy with David's decision to cause chaos in the series. Anna said: “This is what we need. We need a sob story,” as David issued a plea to leave to his fellow contestants. Then, when the Welsh TikTok star was made to hack away at the bridge, Anna Richardson simply shouted: “Yes!” and revelled in the drama.
Jon, who sided with David, suggested that The Bridge should air an episode at the end in which the contestants have to talk to each other again. He said: “With 25 grand, it’s not as if he’s going to turn up in a Lamborghini, it’ll be a second-hand Yaris." He then did an impression of David’s strong Welsh accent and said: “I bought a new suit and I took my Mum to Toby Carvery so thanks for that.”
