Gogglebox fans demand family are removed after latest show

Gogglebox has returned to our screens with familiar faces giving their take on the week's tv, but not everyone has welcomed the line up this series.

Some viewers have even called for one family to be scrapped.

While everyone has their favourite family or couple who appear on the popular Channel 4 show, it would seem one family has attracted some less than favourable comments.

In this week's show - which aired on Friday, March 11 - and included previews from Killing Eve, The Apprentice, Dragons' Den and Naked Attraction, we saw some priceless reaction.

However, it wasn't just the tv shows that got some people talking, according to Birmingham Live, it was the "annoying" comments.

They said many viewers were distracted by how 'annoying' they found the Baggs family, and that viewers are now calling for them to be kicked off the show.

The family, from Essex, are made up of mum Lisa, dad Terry and their sons George and Joe. They first appeared in season 16 in 2020 and made a comeback in the first episode of the 18th series.

Among the show's fans who took to Twitter to complain was one person who wrote: "For crying out loud, #gogglebox - the last thing we want is you trying to PROMOTE the flipping annoying Baggs family to us! We’re begging you to get rid of them!!"

Another said: "The Baggs family are hard work..... #Gogglebox."

While a third added: "Get the Baggs off #Gogglebox. Why are the Baggs still on here, they're not entertaining at all #Gogglebox."

The reaction continued with another saying: "That Essex family are extremely annoying. #Gogglebox."

And another said: "The Baggs have to be the worst family on #Gogglebox, sorry not sorry."

But it wasn't all bad news for the family, who, like many people in the public eye, attract a mixed reaction via social media.

Other viewers defended the family.

One wrote: "Seems to be an unpopular opinion, but I love the Baggs family #Gogglebox"

Another said: "Best family banter by far; if anyone should go is Giles & Mary, Christ it’s like pulling teeth with those two!"

Another supporter wrote: "All the families on #Gogglebox truly cheer me up every Friday. Forget all the eejits with their negative comments best show in TV."
