Gogglebox fans issue plea to bosses as they brand last night's episode the 'Sophie and Pete Show'
"I think their time is up"Gogglebox fans took to social media to issue a plea to bosses as they hit out at Sophie and Pete Sandiford during last night’s show (Friday, May 22).
Some fans even went so far as to say that it’s time the duo called it quits on the hit Channel 4 show.
What happened on Gogglebox last night?
Last night saw fans sit down to yet another new episode of Gogglebox on Channel 4.
During the episode, the show’s stars caught up on some of the week’s biggest shows.
First up was the Eurovision Song Contest, which aired last weekend. The stars watched as Bulgaria won the competition, and the UK came last with just one point.
They then watched Jamie Oliver’s Ultimate BBQ, before tuning in to Widow’s Bay on AppleTV. They then tuned in to a bit of Dogs Behaving Badly, Police Interceptors, and the news.
The show finished with them catching the Race Across the World finale and an episode of Trading Places on Channel 5.

Viewers took umbrage with how many times the duo featured on the show last night, with some even pleading with bosses on Twitter for them to be shown less in the next series.
“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 air time. Thankfully done until September now,” another wrote.
Pete and Sophie slammed
Another viewer was of the opinion that the duo’s time on the show should be over.
“I agree, I think their time is up. They seem to think they are funny, but they are not,” they wrote.
“I have gone on about that pair for ages, they always get loads of airtime. They feature on or after the ad breaks plus at the very end,” a fifth added.
“The Pete and Sophie show is really wearing now -I’ve had enough of them…..,” another said.
Pete and Sophie have been on the show for close to a decade now, joining back in 2017. They’ve since cemented themselves as fan favourites.
