Britain's sharpest armchair critics have hailed UK singer Sam Ryder after he came runner-up in the Eurovision Song Contest. In the end, the Kalush Orchestra from war-torn Ukraine won last weekend's major competition - but Gogglebox stars thought Space Man star Sam was absolutely out of this world.
In tonight's (May 20) show on Channel 4, praise was heaped on the 32-year-old, from Essex, who came first in the jury vote and second overall. Gogglebox favourites Sophie and Pete are clearly fans.
Pete said: "He's brilliant." Sophie chipped in: "I love his outfit as well, it's kinda like pearly king vibe."
Pete added: "Yeah, but also could fix your boiler at the same time." Sophie interjected: "Like a space themed pearly king plumber."
On Twitter, there was also lots of love for Sam - and a number of people said Gogglebox should have celebrated his success more tonight. @ChartersRyz said: "Why didn't you focus on the epic Sam Ryder and the nail-biting voting?!?!"
The Gogglebox stars also clearly enjoyed Beat the Chasers and the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebration show - and there just had to be reference to the so-called 'Wagatha Christie' High Court libel trial between Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy. Sisters Ellie and Izzi raised lots of smiles by coining the phrase 'Flabatha Christie' - because hasn't everyone put on a few pounds recently?!
