Gogglebox viewers were left divided during last night’s episode after Pete and Sophie Sandiford appeared heavily throughout the show.
The brother-and-sister duo have become firm fan favourites since joining the Channel 4 series back in 2017. However, some viewers admitted they were growing tired of seeing so much of the pair during Friday night’s instalment (May 22).

What happened on Gogglebox last night?
Friday’s episode saw the cast reacting to some of the week’s biggest TV moments and headlines.
Among the programmes featured were the Eurovision Song Contest, which aired last weekend and saw Bulgaria crowned winner while the UK finished in last place with just one point.
The Gogglebox stars also tuned into Jamie Oliver’s Ultimate BBQ, Apple TV’s Widow’s Bay, Dogs Behaving Badly and Police Interceptors, before catching up with the news.
The episode ended with the finale of Race Across the World and an airing of Trading Places on Channel 5.

Gogglebox viewers issue plea
Despite the range of shows featured during the episode, some viewers were more focused on how often Pete and Sophie appeared on screen.
A number of fans took to social media during the broadcast to complain about the amount of airtime the pair were getting compared to other cast members.
“Am I the only one that’s sick to death of Sophie and Pete show. She laughs for no reason, and most of the show is of them. Plenty of other cast to show. Start using others in September for god sake!” one viewer fumed.
“They seem to be on a lot tonight,” another agreed.
“It’s every week. Drives me mad when others hardly get any airtime. Thankfully done until September now,” another wrote online.
