“Chris Packham is an amazing addition to Gogglebox,” said a third. “Love him.”

“Shame we haven’t got more Tom Grennan, and an awful lot less Chris Packham,” sniped one viewer.

“Chris Packham is a big NO!” snapped a second.

“Five minutes in and Chris Packham has annoyed me with his pedantry,” said a third. “Isn’t this show supposed to be fun? I feel like I’ve gone to a party and got trapped in a corner talking to the human grammar police.”

What did they watch on Gogglebox this week?

Chris’s commentary on Gogglebox tended to relate to some of the wildlife he saw.

One programme saw a sturgeon being cooked, where Chris said: “That’s an endangered species.

“Why don’t they eat a panda? Do you see what I’m saying?”

Meanwhile, another celebrity who was a hit on Gogglebox was Jane McDonald.

She starred alongside her close pal, Sue.

“We’ve shared some unforgettable moments over the years but I am really looking forward to spending time together on this wonderful show!” Jane wrote.

Celebrity Gogglebox continues Friday at 9pm on Channel 4.
