Some Gogglebox fans have said the show has gone 'off the boil', claiming the current cast isn't up to scratch.
'Please bring back the Brighton hairdressers. Give them a wage rise,anything, just get them back!' wrote one fan on X (formerly Twitter).

To which another fan replied, speculating, 'I think Stephen and Daniel have split up.'
To which another fan replied, 'I know. They still live together, though. Here's wishing!'
Meanwhile, another said, 'I can only feel sorry for the new #gogglebox family. Such a terrible editorial decision. I so miss Marcus and the Brighton hairdressers. It's one of Channel 4's crown jewels and this series seems to have gone off the boil.'
