Gogglebox viewers were left confused in Friday night's episode (aired 6th October 2023) when Pete Sandiford revealed he's already turned the heating on as it's 'freezing'. 

When he asked his sister Sophie during the Channel 4 show whether she had put hers on yet, she replied that there would be no chance she'd put the heating on until "there's frost in the air". She told Pete, "We're only in October."

Peter replied, "Are you joking!? It's freezing!" To which Sophie retorted, "That heating will not be going on until there's frost in the air."

She then continued, "I've been on a variable the whole way through the cost of living crisis. It's been a wild ride." 

But it looks like viewers were siding with Sophie on this one, agreeing it's far too early to be cranking up the central heating. 

'No way is it freezing, you big girls blouse,' wrote one fan in response. 

While another asked, 'where is it cold.'

Regardless of their squabble, many fans commented on how much they enjoyed watching the pair on screen, with one writing, 'pete and sophie make me laugh a lot...'

While another commented on Pete's mug during the show, writing, 'where’s Pete’s mug from I want one.'

To which another savvy fan replied, 'Usually ASDA. I asked and found out before because I've loved so many of their mugs The teddy inside the glass mugs are from The Range, Amazon, ebay and etsy though. I loved them too!'

It's not the first time Sophie and Pete's extensive cup collection has been commented on, with another fan writing last week, 'Pete and Sophie must have the most elite cup cupboard in the uk.'
