Fuming Gogglebox fans urge bosses to axe show legends before next series as they slam final episode
GOGGLEBOX viewers slammed the Channel 4 show as the latest series concludes.
The latest episode sees the cast react to This Morning, Bridgerton and The Piano among others.
However, fans didn’t hold back on their opinions of a particular pairing – even demanding they be axed.
It was married couple Giles Wood and Mary Killen who bore the brunt of viewers’ ire.
They joined Gogglebox back in 2015 for the fifth series and have remained since.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), one Gogglebox fan wrote: “Please, please, please @C4Gogglebox get rid of Mary and Giles. They’re infuriating. #gogglebox.”
Another commented: “Giles and Mary get on my nerves. #Gogglebox.”
A third viewer penned: “Ah starting the episode with the joyless Mary… #Gogglebox.”
Meanwhile a fourth raged: “why didn’t you just devote the whole first part of #Gogglebox to Mary & f**n Giles?!
“Enough already, get rid of the annoying sods and give the others some decent air time instead of 0.1 seconds.”
However, some viewers had a kinder opinion of the pair, with one writing: “#Gogglebox Love Mary laughing!”
A second person posted: “Bloody love Giles #gogglebox.”
It comes as Gogglebox cast members Stephen and Daniel Lustig-Webb are divorcing after six years of marriage.
Stephen, a star of Channel 4 show for a decade, said: “It’s with much sadness Daniel and I have decided to divorce.
Gogglebox stars Stephen and Daniel's relationship timeline
Hairdressing duo Stephen Webb and Daniel Lustig got engaged back in 2016 and married two years later.
The couple co-own a hair salon and live in a £575,000 property on Brighton’s sought after seafront.
At the time of the engagement, Stephen appeared on Gogglebox alongside his ex-boyfriend Chris Ashby-Steed.
In 2019, Daniel made his Gogglebox debut and was immediately a big hit.
Chris, who is now in a happy relationship with husband Tony, spoke publicly about how the show affected his mental health.
Having relocated to Wales and quit showbiz, Chris said he was racked with anxiety during his time on the programme.
Just last year Daniel and Stephen shocked Gogglebox fans when they announced they were leaving the programme. Daniel had been part of the show since its launch in 2013.
Their departure opened up a new world of opportunity for the duo and it was soon announced that Stephen would take part in Dancing on Ice. But disaster struck and injury ruled him out before the live shows.
There were further gasps of shock in April when we revealed the pair had split up. They vowed to remain friends and looked to be true to their word, sharing a smiley picture the following day with Stephen’s mum on the seafront.
“There is, and always will be, a lot of love there but we’ve unfortunately grown apart and made the decision to part ways.”
Daniel said: “We’ve made the decision with a very heavy heart to confirm our marriage has come to an end.
“I’m sure we will forever be friends.”
Gogglebox airs on Channel 4 on Fridays at 9pm
