Hit Channel 4 show Gogglebox was once hit with dozens of Ofcom complaints from TV viewerrs after showing a distressing scene from The Third Day, starring Jude Law
Gogglebox has become one of TV's most-watched shows, with millions tuning in to watch the hit Channel 4 programme. It's now been running for over 20 series, with the celebrity edition also proving to be popular. However, during Gogglebox's time on TV, there's been a few moments which have sparked controversy - and plenty of Ofcom complaints.
One distressing scene showed a child attempting to take her own life, which was shown on Gogglebox, revealiing the cast's reactions. "Tonight’s show should have had an explicit suicide trigger warning – 'scenes some viewers might find upsetting' really isn’t good enough," one person wrote on X. Another added: "Disgusted by your show tonight Gogglebox. Families bereaved by suicide trust you for lighthearted TV watching. No warnings. You have just lost four dedicated fans. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
"Enjoying the new series but would have liked a trigger warning for the depiction of suicide in the episode tonight #Gogglebox," a fourth said, while a fifth wrote: "@Channel4 really should’ve put a trigger warning on today’s #gogglebox."
