Celebrity Gogglebox fans have shared a big complaint as the Channel 4 show returned with a new lineup.

Friday night saw the star-studded spin-off from the beloved reality programme hit screens again for another series. 

Celebrities including Nick Grimshaw and his niece Liz, as well as Rylan Clark and his mum, Linda, returned to their sofas to give their verdicts on popular TV shows.

There were a few newcomers too, with Paddy McGuinness and Vernon Kay taking a seat, and Geordie Shore’s Vicky Pattison and The Only Way Is EsSєx star Pete Wicks.  

However, the show was not well received by some viewers and many expressed how they preferred the non-celebrity version.
