Viewers of Channel 4 show Gogglebox have urged bosses to axe Ellie Warner and her sister Izzi from the show over their controversial comments in Friday night's episode.
The pair were branded "disgusting" by fans of the series last night after they were seen joking about the #MeToo movement.
Ellie revealed she'd made up a game of tag based on the #MeToo movement in which participants had to grab the women's boobs or bums.
It was a callous reference to the sexual assaults suffered by victims who had spoken out as part of the movement, reports the Mirror.
She said: "I played Tag not so long ago... but we called it #MeToo and basically we had to chase each other and either grab somebody's boob or bum.
"And they were then it."
Ellie's sister Izzi scolded her over the comment, saying: "I don't think you are supposed to make a game out of the #MeToo."
Viewers were furious about Ellie's remarks and flocked to Twitter to demand Channel 4 bosses take action.
One wrote: "Those sisters are disgusting. One... makes a grab a boob game out of the Me Too Movement.
"They should be pulled off-air. I don’t offend easily to those two are vile.”
Another tweeted: "Making a game out of the Me Too movement??? Hmmm... I mean why would you even admit to doing such a stupid thing?"
The Me Too movement started in October 2017 as a hashtag on social media in a bid to shine a light on sexual assault and harassment.
It was heavily connected to the Harvey Weinstein scandal which rocked Hollywood and the cause was backed by a number of high-profile stars including Gwyneth Paltrow and Ashley Judd.
