Channel 4 show, helmed by Steph McGovern, featured Gogglebox star Kate Bottley, comedians Marcus Bridgestock and Rachel Parris - but everyone except Kate was soon on their feet and leaving the set.

It came as the panel were discussing New Zealand's attempts to shift people protesting coronavirus restrictions by playing a series of supposedly off-putting songs - including Barry Manilow, Baby Shark and the Macarena.

The protesters responded, however, by playing some tracks of their own, including Twisted Sister’s We’re Not Gonna Take It.One decades old Manilow song was then blasted out in the studio - prompting a hilarious mass walk-out.It all started as Steph explained: "There is one story I wanted to talk about today, because it's just really bizarre.

Barry's song Can't Smile Without You then came on over the speakers in the studio, as Steph said: "Oh, yeah, actually!" and everyone barring Kate got to their feet. "I'm off, see you everyone," Steph told the rest of the crew."Come back, I love Barry!" Kate cried from her seat, as the rest of the gang stopped themselves and cheekily returned to their seats when the song stopped."I love Barry!" Kate insisted as the giggling presenters sat back down.Fans soon took to Twitter to discuss the songs that would make them storm off a dance floor, with one ranting: "All of me, can’t stand it.
