Several of the Gogglebox cast hit out at Anne Darwin for her 'unforgivable' betrayal of her sons as they reacted to the real-life drama about her and husband's fake death scam on Friday night's show.
The highlight of many people's Friday nights in, the popular Channel 4 show was back for another new episode this week, with the cast reacting to the likes of new dating show Romeo & Duet and Apple TV's Roar, which included a sex scene involving a duck, as the likes of The Malones and Jenny and Lee looked on horrified from their couches. And in the second part of Friday's Gogglebox, the pairs and families got the chance to cast an eye over the drama that's had everyone talking this week - ITV' s The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe.
While sounding like something taken straight from the craziest of film scripts, the four part series was actually based on the very real deception carried out by John Darwin and his wife Anne two decades ago, when, with the couple facing mounting debts, John decided to fake his own death, with Anne in on the whole thing. John made it look like he'd disappeared at sea, after going out in his kayak close to the couple's home in Seaton Carew, when in fact he stayed hidden away from years in a bedsit right next door!
