A Gogglebox star was branded ‘utterly disgusting’ by outraged viewers during a shock exchange on the show which saw him swear at his mother.

Friday night’s installment of the Channel 4 programme saw parents Sally and Michael from Kent joined by their 17-year-old twin sons Jake and Harry as they watched an episode of nature documentary, The Americas.

The show, narrated by Tom Hanks, introduced an exotic bird, the blue-footed booby, while outlining their unique and endearing mating rituals. 

However, the boys were left far from impressed when their parents amorously turned their attention to each other as Michael gushed that he’d be the perfect blue-footed booby for his wife, while Sally shared her enthusiasm.

Their sweet exchange was swiftly shut down by Jake who turned to his mum and uttered: ‘Oh just shut the f**k up!’, with the parents laughing off his outburst.

The exchange did not go down well with Gogglebox viewers, who were quick to take to X to share their disdain at the language used by the son to his parent.

Making their feelings clear, they penned: ‘Jeez, if id told my parents to shut the f**k up. Id be disappeared never to be seen again.’

‘Telling his parents to shut the f**k up? And they just sat there and took like it was nothing it??? I’m sorry but @ch4 do not show this family ever again. Utterly utterly disgraceful’ 

‘I will never get used to kids who swear at their parents’

If one of my bros said mother stfu I’d go nuts!! In fact mine wouldn’t simple! And they are 28 30′

‘I can never imagine saying “oh shut the f**k up” to my parents, even in a jokey way.’

However, one person was quick to jump to the family’s defence, adding: ‘Why is everyone surprised at the guy telling his mum to stfu, she laughed so must be normal and parents allow it.’

It comes after Gogglebox fans were recently left reeling after a ‘creepy’ incestuous scene from White Lotus left them feeling ‘uncomfortable,’ with some admitting they had to turn off the Channel 4 show altogether. 

The nation’s favourite TV critics were presented with a variety of shows to review, including this week’s picks: Celebrity Bear Hunt and The Fear Clinic: Face Your Phobia.

However, it was a scene from The White Lotus, which premiered on Sky last month, that sparked the most significant reaction. Some fans were so uncomfortable that they felt compelled to switch off.

The White Lotus has become notorious for its steamy scenes and jaw-dropping moments across its first two seasons, set in Hawaii and Sicily, and the new season continues this trend. 

A particular scene from the first episode, featuring brothers Saxon and Lochlan sharing a H๏τel room, caused a stir online – and it was no different for the Gogglebox families this week. 

In the eyebrow-raising moment, older brother Saxon (played by Patrick Schwarzenegger) quizzed his younger sibling on his porn preferences before strutting starkers into the bathroom for some ‘me time,’ with his full-frontal reflection caught in the mirror. 

While Gogglebox viewers were spared the full frontal, the sofa critics saw it all. Everyone from Ellie and Izzy to Jenny and Lee, and the Michael family, were left shocked, letting out a collective ‘Oh!’ in surprise.

Meanwhile, fans were amused by Pete and Sophie’s commentary on the complimentary shortbread biscuits. 

One viewer wrote on X (formerly Twitter): ‘Gogglebox so far so pervy lol he’s right there’; 

Another added: ‘#Gogglebox has just made me put a line through watching the white lotus. Too weird and disturbing. No thanks!’; 

And one viewer was so taken aback by the clip that they switched off Gogglebox altogether: ‘Why does #Gogglebox always end with the weird stuff. Turned off for the last five minutes. White lotus is a no-go for me, sorry.’
