Gogglebox's Izzi Warner branded 'diva' over birthday update

Izzi Warner "put her hands up" after being called a birthday diva by her sister, Ellie.

The Gogglebox sister shared a clip from the Channel 4 show to her Instagram sharing some friendly banter between them both as she gave an update on her upcoming birthday. Captioning the clip, she wrote: "Hands up December birthday divas. Mine's Christmas Eve eve."

In the 39 second video, Ellie said: "Do you know what? Actually you are a birthday diva too."

Izzi replied: "I get branded as a birthday diva but tell me the last time I've behaved in a birthday diva way.... I haven't."

Her sister asked: "But what if someone got you a joint birthday and Christmas present?" She replied: "Depending on what it was.

"And I won't accept birthday presents in Christmas paper. That's not ok. It's my birthday. It's not Jesus' birthday."

Explaining her rationale, Izzi added: "You have to be a bit more of a birthday diva when your birthday's so close to Christmas because people get complacent. People get willy nilly.

"You're alright with your April birthday, you can have a proper celebration. I've got to share mine with Jesus."

Channel 4's official Instagram account also shared the clip and fans agreed with the way that Izzi acts over her special day. Mandy said: "Ugh. I SO feel this with my birthday being right in between Christmas and NYE."

Nicola said: " I agree mines in NOVEMBER and I always got joint Xmas gifts #tight lol." Nik added: " Agree 100%! So not being a diva, my birthday is the 28th & I once got a reversible sweatshirt for Christmas & told I could wear it reversed for my birthday! 2 in 1 gift!"
