Jenny from Gogglebox makes King Charles 'naturist' gaff as viewers left in stitches

One of Gogglebox's most loved stars had viewers in stitches during Friday night's sombre episode as she accidentally called the new monarch, King Charles III, a naturist.

The Channel 4 show opened with reaction to the announcement of the Queen's death last Thursday, triggering emotional scenes as Jenny, Mary and other stars of the primetime show broke down in tears at the moment Huw Edwards announced Her Majesty's passing.

However, in a moment of light relief, Jenny spoke about King Charles III in his new role as monarch. In a faux-pas she labelled him a "naturist", which is someone who goes nude in private and in public. It is thought she meant to use the term 'naturalist', with many viewers picking up on her unfortunate mistake.

@Cogs39 wrote on Twitter: "No, Charles is a naturalist Jenny, not a naturist. It’s completely different," with a howling laughing face emoji. @Wandoful posted: "And just like that…Jenny claims King Charles is a naturist and a normal service resumes," with the same laughing face emoji.

@itzzzo_ wrote: "Jenny saying 'naturist' when she meant to say 'naturalist' has made my day," with an amused @TashAmaka writing: "Thank you Jenny for bringing back the humour. He’s def not a naturist."

Gogglebox airs on Friday nights on Channel 4 at 9pm.
