Gogglebox stars react to scenes filmed on Formby Beach

Gogglebox viewers were given a glimpse of Formby Beach as our favourite armchair critics watched Celebrity Hunted.

The programme showed Olympic runner Iwan Thomas try to outsmart the hunters as he made his way to an extraction point on the Sefton coast.

Iwan became a "fugitive" in a bid to raise money for Stand Up To Cancer.

The runner made his way from Warrington to Formby in the back of a kind member of the public's car.

As he was in the north west of England, some families who live nearby commented on his location.

The Worthingtons noticed he was in Warrington, and Helena said: "Maybe he can go to the big IKEA"

Sean Malone, who lives with his family in Manchester, recognised the beach as Iwan made his way towards his destination.

He said: "Terrible parking at Formby Beach".

Viewers enjoyed the segment, with many making the same request.

Taking to Twitter, Jay Baker said: "I'd love to see Lee and Jenny on Hunted"

Peter Todd said: "I'd love to see Lee and Jenny go on the run on Hunted. Imagine the hilarious moments, plans and hide out locations"

Jaime Watson said: "I think a special edition Gogglebox Hunted should be commissioned... Pete and Sophie, Lee and Jenny, Marcus and Mica and Stephen and Daniel... I'd deffo watch that!"

This week's instalment also saw our opinionated reviewers give their opinions on shows such as Killing Eve, The Apprentice and Our House.

Gogglebox airs Fridays at 9pm on Channel 4
