Taking to X (formerly Twitter), one Gogglebox watcher shared: “#Gogglebox Pete and Jenny and Lee must spend the whole week coming up with new ways of attention seeking for each episode.”
While another claimed the pair, known for their humorous friendship, “rehearse those funny trick scenes for the programme”.
Adding: “Don’t like false play-acting just for attention.”
As a general critique for the show, this user commented: “It’s a shame the spontaneous reaction of the goggleboxers has got worse most now play to the camera. #Gogglebox.”

However, others remain fans of the popular Channel 4 stars, who have been part of the hit series since 2014.
This person posted: “Loving Jenny trying to mediate #gogglebox,” along with laughing face emojis.
It comes as the episode showed Danny Dyer opening up about his anxiety while appearing on ITV’s The Assembly.
When asked about what he does to take care of his mental health, the EastEnders actor shared his meditation techniques, which Jenny then replicated in her own way (and almost fell asleep in the process).
