Channel 4 Gogglebox fans call for popular couple to be axed over on-air comments

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Fans of Channel 4 show Gogglebox are calling for one of its most popular couples to be axed after last night's show. People were troubled by some of the pair's comments which were aired on Channel 4, but now things have escalated, and viewers are calling for them to be dropped.

As part of the show, viewers were shown a clip of a Good Morning Britain interview between Susanna Reid and Boris Johnson. During the interview, Susanna asked Boris Johnson about the case of a 77-year-old woman, who is struggling with her heating bills.

Elsie is struggling so much, she's forced to ride the bus all day just to keep warm. Boris Johnson replied that he had made that possible thanks to bringing in free bus passes for the elderly.

But the reaction of Gogglebox duo Giles and Mary rubbed people up even further the wrong way. Mary said: "I am very sorry for Elsie but Susanna is making out it is Boris fault and like he doesn't care." Giles asks her: "Whose fault is it?".
