Gogglebox's Ellie Warner confessed her admiration for television presenter and comedian Paddy McGuinness on the latest episode of the show, which had many 'bored' viewers switching off.
Friday night's episode saw our favourite armchair critics take to their seats to watch a host of programmes which had aired during the previous week. However, it seems some fans were not happy with the amount of reality television programmes featured.
