Gogglebox fans rage over ‘missing’ part of episode, ranting ‘they’ve ruined it!’
GOGGLEBOX fans were raging tonight over a ‘missing’ part of the episode, claiming the show had ‘ruined it’ for viewers.
Many who tuned into the Channel 4 show this evening were expecting the coach potatoes to cover one of the biggest TV events of the last seven days.
But they were horrified when the show snubbed featuring the last ever episode of Ant and Dec‘s Saturday Night Takeaway.
The long-running ITV show bowed out last weekend with a 90-minute extravaganza that featured an X Factor judge reunion and a star-studded sing-a-long.
But producers of Gogglebox mysteriously decided not to feature its funny telly addicts tuning into Ant and Dec’s swansong – which at one point saw the Geordie duo become emotional and fight back tears.
Instead, this week’s Gogglebox featured Netflix smash hits Baby Reindeer and The Circle, clips from Jamie Oliver‘s Air Fryers, Teen First Dates and an ITV News segment about guide dogs.
Unsurprisingly, fans of the Ant and Dec were not impressed by the snub.
Taking to X, formerly twitter, one ranted: “ITV twice in one episode? What about the SNT finale???”
Another fumed: “Thanks for nothing Gogglebox!!! Why did you not have Saturday Night Takeaway this week?! You’ve ruined Saturday Night fans!”
A third vented: “Thanks a lot Gogglebox!”
And a fourth agreed, saying: “This is awful!”
The final instalment of SNT on April 13 was recorded at the iconic Television Centre in London’s White City.
And the show included a spectacular outdoor musical medly fronted by McFly‘s Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones.
The I’m A Celeb hosts joined in a version of All About You that had been rewritten to pay tribute to the beloved ITV show.
Emotional Declan Donnelly told the audience: “We’ve truly adored every second . . . what’s happened is beyond our wildest dreams.”
Many famous faces made an appearance for the farewell episode, including Girls Aloud, Josie Gibson, Scarlett Moffatt, Ashley Roberts, Davina McCall and Oti Mabuse.
Also making an appearance were the likes of Jordan North, Kirsty Gallacher, Alison Hammond, Dermot O’Leary, Ben Foster, Andi Peters and Tony Hadley.
As fireworks rained down in the End of the Show Show, which saw everyone join in a rendition of Celebration by Kool and The Gang, Ant wobbled over his words.
Ant said: “This is the kind of show Dec and I watched every Saturday night growing up, so it’s been an honour and a privilege to have made this show and to have been part of your Saturday nights for over 20 years.”
A peak of 5.6 million viewers tuned in for the swansong on ITV1.
