Fans of Channel 4's Gogglebox were left fairly disappointed during the latest episode as they felt there was far too much reality TV shows on the programme.
On Friday night's show (March 31), fans were treated to clips from reality shows Rise and Fall, Married At First Sight Austrilian and Tempting Fortune, to name a few.
But given that the majority of the programme included top reality shows that aired on terrestrial on streaming channels across the week, fans began to grow weary.
Taking to Twitter, viewers shared their complaints.
One fan wrote: "Don't they show soaps or drama any more? All reality shows tonight bit boring."
Another said: "#Gogglebox focusing too much on reality TV nowadays."
A third chimed in and wrote: "Why is it that on #Gogglebox they watch about 95% reality TV rubbish now?!"
And fourth penned: "Is this a Reality TV special of #Gogglebox this week??"
Meanwhile another fan wrote: "The people who make tv think we love watching this reality stuff. The truth is we have f**k all to watch so no choice."
Despite most viewers thinking that it was reality TV overload, a clip of the BBC News, Great Expectations and Wild Isles was also shown on the programme.
The news comes after Giles Wood caused controversy after mocking Paddy McGuinness' accent while on the show.
While watching Channel 4's Tempting Fortune alongside his wife Mary Killen, Giles was quick to make a comment on the way Paddy said the word "shared".
Telling him off on the way Giles continually repeated the word, Mary said: "Nutty, it's a hate crime. It's a new hate crime – mocking people's language."
But Giles was quick to defend himself and said: "No, it's just an accent I'm not familiar with, so he says 'shurred' instead of 'shared'."
Mary replied: "Yeah, well you say 'shared' and other people might be mocking you."
But Giles wasn't done and responded: "Yeah, well that's what England used to be all about, was mocking each other's accents. Everything's changed now."
