One viewer, posting on X (formerly Twitter), said: "All hail the utterly terrific @C4Gogglebox. How is it so darn therapeutic watching people just watch TV?

"Always the much needed delight relief a sh***y day requires. Bravo to all involved..... #Gogglebox."

While another fan added: "I’m so glad #Gogglebox is back @Channel4."

Fans call for Giles and Mary to axed from Gogglebox

Despite the new series having only just begun, Gogglebox fans are already calling for Channel 4 to scrap Giles and Mary from the show.

The pair have appeared on Gogglebox since back in 2015 and often receive mixed reviews with some loving their dry sense of humour and wit, while others say they ruin the show.

One viewer posted on X saying: "Why are Giles & Mary still on here? She’s such a prude, makes my teeth itch.

Another person commented: "Hard not to hate Giles & Mary. At first they were just kooky & a bit weird, but now its beyond utterly unbearable whenever they appear on screen.

"Every new season I pray they won't return, but then up they f***ing pop."

While a third person said: "Its obvious Giles has his issues which Mary can no longer tolerate. She also has issues, and their squabbles are embarrassing to watch.

"Not something suitable for TV viewing. Surprised they are still part of #gogglebox."

Other viewers delved into further detail, naming Pete and Sophie, Ellie and Izzi and the Kent family as other Gogglebox stars that should be axed from the Channel 4 series.

This Gogglebox viewer commented: "I love #Gogglebox but a lot of the current people need to be replaced starting with Pete and Sophie & Ellie and Izzy as the most annoying.

"Giles and Mary not far behind. We just need new faces. Pete in particular thinks he's so clever when he really isn't."

Another added: "The Kent family are back......that's unfortunate."
