Channel 4 Gogglebox stars Dave and Shirley find 'beast' and fans say 'move house and run'

Channel 4's popular Gogglebox couple, Dave and Shirley, caused a storm on Instagram this week after finding what some followers have called a 'beast'. The pair took to social media after finding the unusual looking visitor.

Posting a snap of the creature, the Welsh duo wrote: "Found this out the back, any ideas"? It didn't take long of the followers to offer their advice, opinion and a few quips along the way.

One person wrote in response to the post: "Jesus Christ are you trying to give me a heart attack? Made me ****** jump seeing that!! He’s a beast!! I’d have to move immediately". And this response was the tip of the iceberg. Posted just a day ago the picture has already received over 2,000 likes and over 500 comments.

Responding to the latest post, one follower suggested it might be "Aragog from Harry Potter" while another joked: "Yeah! It’s the dreaded Caerphilly tarantula, avoid at all costs".

Most people responding weren't fond of the new visitor. "****** hell Dave I wouldn't of [taken the] time to take a pic, I would of ran like hell", said one person. Others said: "I'd be screaming" and "Sends shivers down my spine", while another asked: "Are you in Australia?"
