Channel 4 Gogglebox star Shirley slated for 'savage' insult to husband co-star

Gogglebox favourite Shirley Griffiths came under fire over her treatment of co-star and husband Dave on the show last night - after appearing to take a shot at his manhood.

The hit show was back on Channel 4 as the sofa critics gave their opinions on the week's best TV shows including the return of Britain's Got Talent and Oti Mabuse's new dating show Romeo and Duet.

But Birmingham Live reports that some of Shirley's savagery was dealt out towards her armchair-dwelling stablemate instead of the antics on their screen.

Shirley and Dave were watching UKTV series Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over, in which the documentary maker and Strictly star spends time living with a variety of eccentric British families.

In the episode screened this week, Dooley met a 70-year-old dominatrix who gave her a crash course in BDSM-style lovemaking.

As the dominatrix explained one particular technique, Shirley made a brutal joke about Dave's private parts.

She quipped: "You'd be no good love, cos you haven't got no girth, have you?"

Some viewers were shocked by the comment, while others thought Shirley was just poking fun.

@LukeHayesII1 said on Twitter: "Why does Shirley always insult her husband on national TV? #Gogglebox."

@palouze gasped: "NOT THE WELSH WOMAN ANNOUNCING HER HUSBAND HAS NO GIRTH TO THE WORLD #Gogglebox."

@Mabel_Mouse_ commented: "'You'd be no good love, cos you haven't got no girth, have you?' OMG Poor Dave #Gogglebox."

@kellycrumpton94 added: "Shirley is a f------ savage. poor Dave#gogglebox."

@GregDav94758992 said: "Poor Dave! The fact he has 'no girth' has just been revealed to the nation! #Gogglebox."

And @EnfieldGarry wrote: "No girth, oh Shirley. #Gogglebox."
