Gogglebox fans switch off in minutes after being 'ripped off'

For many Gogglebox fans, setting down to tune in to the Channel 4 show at 9pm is a weekly ritual.

Gogglebox series 19 drew to a close on Friday (May 27) with our favourite armchair critics taking to social media to thank fans for watching over the past four months. Jenny and Lee, among others, wished fans well for the summer and said they'd be back in September.

Last Friday, they announced that night's episode would be the last in the series so they would be taking a break until later in the year. But fans were given one last "series 19" episode this week (June 3).

A special roundup episode aired before Celebrity Gogglebox begins on June 10. This included the "best bits" of this series, including the funniest quips and the most emotional and shocking moments.

But many Gogglebox fans said TV guides appeared to suggest a new episode and took to Twitter to vent about it. Tom said: "This Gogglebox isn’t new, it’s a repeat [angry-face emoji]."

In a tweet directed to Channel 4, Jennifer said: "This episode of #Gogglebox is a repeat what’s going on? Says it should be new episode." Clare said: "Absolutely FUMING that this week's #Gogglebox is a repeat! Ugh."

Lee Millard said: "It’s a best of. How rubbish. Time to see what else is on!" Spencer said: "New Gogglebox on Channel 4 is a repeat ripped off by the telly again." [sic]
