Channel 4 Gogglebox fans 'crying' seconds into show as it airs on a Monday

Gogglebox returned to Channel 4 tonight - on a Monday.

Normally the couch critic show airs on a Friday evening. But the much-loved show surprised viewers with a one-off festive special on January 2 which lasted for 90 minutes - providing fans with an extra 30 minutes of viewing.

It showed cast members watching festive shows such as Jamie Oliver cooking a Christmas dinner and a seasonal episode of First Dates. And as usual the show did not disappoint.

Just minutes into the show fans were 'in tears' with laughter at some of their favourites. Jenny Newby appeared alongside best friend Lee Riley fully in the festive spirit - as she was dressed as a turkey.

The hilarious Hull resident wore an inflatable orange suit, with her head poking out of the top as she struggled to sit down. Lee said to her: "Look, you wanted a fancy dress and I don't know why you trusted me to get it."

She said: "I'm not having this. I won't even get into the pub to have a drink."

Lee burst out laughing as he said: "But you're a turkey." Jenny replied: "Oh, you can get stuffed, I ain't wearing this." She tried to sit down as the costume puffed up in front of her and Lee collapsed with laughter.

Fans on Twitter cried laughing at the scene, as Tyrese said: "OMG Jenny looks hilarious #Gogglebox." Another added: "Jenny" followed by crying emojis.

A third said: "Jenny dressed as a Turkey saying 'you can get stuffed'" followed by laughing crying emojis.
