A Gogglebox star has hit back after a fan claimed she looked ‘ill’ during a holiday to Spain.
Loveable Welsh couple Dave and Shirley took to social media to share snaps of their summer break.
Both were smiling in the picture and Shirley looked to be having a good time as she held her glass up to the camera in a cheers pose.
The pair, who often have viewers in stitches with their funny comments on the Channel 4 couch potato show, captioned the post: “Happy holidays everyone cheers #salou xxx.”
But Dave was forced to step in defend Shirley after one fan commented on the photo saying: “Shirley ok she looks ill."
Revealing there was nothing wrong with Shirley, Dave replied: “She’s all good thanks x.”
Other fans were not quite as composed as Dave and blasted the comment with many calling it ‘rude’.
“Wow! How rude! That’s such an uncalled for comment! You look fab Shirley,” said one fan in her defence.
Another wrote: “What a terrible thing to say,” while a third said: “No need for that!”
Dave, 66, and Shirley, 67, from Caerphilly in South Wales shot to fame on Gogglebox in 2015 and have become fan favourites ever since.
Earlier this week they revealed they would back on the show in September after some fans thought they had moved abroad after spotting their snaps.
“Don’t believe that love, we’re just on holidays see you in September xxx,” the couple wrote on Instagram.
And while they made the most of the sunshine during their break to Salou on the Costa Dorada, the couple revealed their holiday had turned into a “shambles”.
Dave revealed the water and electricity had gone down at their hotel and they were waiting for it to be fixed.
Posting on social media, he said: “@TUIUK what's happening at the hotel h10 vintage Salou all the electricity is off no water no toilets no food, can't even flush the toilet rep doesn't have no idea it's a shambles its been off since 2 o clock this afternoon now 11.30 and still not sorted.”
Other guests reported similar issues at the H10 Vintage hotel in Salou and another holidaymaker shared her concern over the ongoing situation.
“Not good at all! A lot of unhappy campers here tonight,” she tweeted in reply to Dave.
A TUI spokesperson commented on the problems faced by Dave and Shirley at the hotel and said “all facilities are now operating as normal”.
“We completely understand how frustrating a short power outage can be and would like to apologise to those customers impacted at the H10 Mediterranean Village in Spain. Our TUI team contacted all customers staying at the hotel once the power was restored to offer a gesture of goodwill,” they added.
