Confused Gogglebox fans forced to switch off TV in Channel 4 show 'black out'

Confused Gogglebox viewers said they were forced to turn their television sets off after Channel 4 show “black out” had them convinced their power went out.

During Friday night’s episode of the Channel 4 hit show the Gogglebox stars were back on our screens as they shared their reactions to the week's trending TV shows and films.

And while the week has been stuffed full of can't-miss telly, it was the promo clip for Channel 4’s Late Night Lycett that had everyone talking. Joe Lycett, who is known for his hilarious public stunts, has become a rising star in British comedy over the past few years.

The comedian has since been given his own Channel 4 show and while promoting the upcoming episode, the screen went black for a longer-than-is-comfortable time. Only for it to transpire it was part of the advert - leaving Gogglebox fans very confused.

@jonnymgdraws Tweeted: “Not the promo for #LateNightLycett being blacked out! #gogglebox.” @alexr_241 said: “Not me turning my tv on and off thinking it was just my tv that blacked out #Gogglebox.”

@HopeMarieBonnen commented: “Thought the power just went out to then realise my light was on wtf @C4Gogglebox #Gogglebox.”

@CraigS0309 wrote: “Nice promo for Joe Lycett's programme in the advert break #Gogglebox.”

@liamandrews123 joked: “That was a great part of #latenightlycett promo on #gogglebox.” While @JoshxReid added: “Thought I lost it with my screen going blank just then #gogglebox.”
