Gogglebox pair send message to fans but it goes 'terribly wrong'

Gogglebox siblings Simon and Jane Minty sent a "messy" message to fans on Friday, ahead of this week's episode.

The Channel 4 show has become one of the UK’s favourite programmes since it burst onto our screens in 2013 and has transformed regular people into celebrities. Simon and Jane first appeared on the show in 2021 and have been regulars over the past three series.

They’ve been a popular addition to the cast, quickly winning fans over with their hilarious criticisms of the week's best telly.

Cast members often share photos and videos on social media on Friday afternoons, letting viewers know they are "Gogglebox ready". Simon and Jane tried to do just that earlier today, but it didn't end well.

Captioning the post on Instagram, the brother and sister said: "This video is messy! Made us laugh so we decided to post. It’s all about the big show tonight. We hope you enjoy tonight’s Gogglebox later or soon. Have a great day and a fantastic weekend."

The video showed Jane and Simon facing the camera. Simon said: "Hello, everybody. We're lounging around, maybe watching a little bit of television, 'cause you know what? Tonight is Gogglebox".

Jane said: "Yes it is! Look forward to seeing you there. Friday night, 9 o'clock, Channel 4. Have a good week. Bye". The pair then awkwardly waved as they signed off, but the camera was still rolling.

Realising she hadn't ended the filming, Jane's face dropped. She said: "That went terribly wrong".

Fans were in stitches after watching the clip. Julie shared a series of cry-laughing emojis before adding: "Brilliant! I’m off out tonight but I will definitely be catching up tomorrow. Have a great weekend."

Jacci said: "Certainly will be watching. You two are fab." Angela said: "You make me laugh so much love the two of you", while Claire simply said: "You pair" with a laughing emoji.
