Channel 4's Gogglebox moved from Friday night slot this week amid return of Friday Night Live

Gogglebox won't be broadcasting as usual on Channel 4 this Friday (October 21) as Friday Night Live will return with a one-off special in its place. Popular entertainment show Gogglebox sees members of the public sit down and react to some of the week's most talked about TV moments and is usually shown from 9pm on Friday nights.

But instead the new episode has been pushed back and will now air on Saturday, October 22 from 9pm. The move is only for this week, as Gogglebox will be back in its usual slot of Friday at 9pm on October 28 with a celebrity special for Stand Up to Cancer.

Channel 4 explained the change in schedule shortly before airing Send Nudes: Body SOS on Wednesday night, OK! reports. An announcer said: "It's one for your diary. Brand new Gogglebox isn't on its usual Friday night spot. Saturday at 9pm is your go-to for this week over on Channel 4."

Comedy show Friday Night Live will air from 9pm tomorrow night and is returning to our screens for a 90-minute special hosted by comedian Ben Elton to mark Channel 4's 40th anniversary. He will be joined by original series co-stars Harry Enfield, Julian Clary and Jo Brand, and new co-stars including Rosie Jones, Mawaan Rizwan, Jordan Gray, Ronni Ancona and Sam Campbell - there will also be live music from Self Esteem.

The change means the new Gogglebox episode will now air at the same time as Saturday night programmes on BBC such as Blankety Blank and I Can See Your Voice and ITV's The Voice. You can stream all the episodes of Googlebox 20th series so far over on All 4.
