Celebrity Gogglebox fans were left unimpressed on Friday when Channel 4 aired a repeat episode of the popular TV show.
The Channel 4 Gogglebox series returned on Friday night from 9pm, with the likes of Mo Gilligan, Roman Kemp and Tom Allen all taking part in the hour-long instalment.
However, it seems fans expected a whole new episode and were left disappointed to watch a best bits montage from the series that aired earlier this year.
Channel 4 described the episode as: ‘A collection of the best bits as the celebs hit the sofa for top TV including Five Star Kitchen: Britain’s Next Great Chef, The 1% Club, Hijack, Antiques Roadshow and The Yorkshire Vet.’
Sharing their desires for a brand new episode, fans took to Twitter to air their frustrations.
