Gogglebox fans voice their anger with star over Queen reaction

Gogglebox viewers were left confused after one of the shows stars started crying, with one branding her 'pathetic'. Mary is a long-serving member of the Channel 4 show's cast and appears alongside husband Giles.

During the latest episode on Friday (May 20) night, the cast of Gogglebox watched Eurovision, Beat the Chasers and Drag Me to Hell. Viewers also saw highlights of their reactions to the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebration on Sunday, May 15.

Watching as the Queen looked on at the horse show, Mary said: "Doesn't she make you proud to be British?" whilst breaking down in tears. This was met with confusion by viewers, many of whom did not agree with her.
