Celebrity Gogglebox viewers complain they don't recognise famous faces on Channel 4 show

Viewers of Celebrity Gogglebox have been complaining they don't recognise the people appearing on the show.

On Friday night, the Channel 4 show aired a special episode to celebrate Pride. But within minutes of the programme starting, it was inundated with the same complaint from viewers left confused over the identities of those appearing.

Some even asked for producers to add a profile of those featuring on the show under their names so people could understand who they were. On Twitter, a number of people said they hardly knew any of the celebrities, reports Birmingham Live.

The episode included Strictly stars Johannes Radebe and John Whaite and actors Kit Connor, Joe Locke, Yasmin Finney and William Gao – who play Nick, Charlie, Elle and Tao on the Netflix Heartstopper series. @AnsuyaPatel1978 asked: "#CelebrityGogglebox who is anyone on here anymore?! I feel so old not knowing who half the people are maybe add a little profile on everyone under their names?? #justsaying #justaskin."

@sharpy741 added: "#CelebrityGogglebox is really struggling to live up to the #celebrity status. Not a scooby doo who the majority are."

@TheDewsb commented: "No idea who loads of these “celebrities” are #CelebrityGogglebox." @MarkWil43753625 said: "Why are 90% of the people on celebrity gogglebox not celebrity's? [sic] #CelebrityGogglebox #channel4."

@mywifeisjoanie wrote: "#CelebrityGogglebox Haven't a clue who most of these 'celebs' are." @georgelepaws1 added: "No idea who half of these ‘celebrities’ are #CelebrityGogglebox."

Others defended the stars though. @JayHBaker94 said: "Seeing people moaning not knowing who they are. There is a thing called Google #CelebrityGogglebox."
