Fans of Gogglebox were divided after regular cast members Sophie and Pete were accused of getting too much screen time.
The hit Channel 4 show returned for another episode last night (October 10), where the cast reacted to many shows from the past week, including Celebrity Traitors, Love Is Blind and Coronation Street.
Brother and sister duo Sophie and Pete Sanfiford have remained on Gogglebox as one of the show’s most-loved families since joining for series 10 in 2017.
However, as the programme continues to welcome new additions to its cast, fans have insisted they are grabbing too much of the show’s attention…

“She laughs at too much, I fear C4 are exploiting an issue,” another person shared, referring to Sophie.
Another echoed: “Agree.”
“Has anyone else laughed at ANYTHING that Sophie has laughed at (in the past 25 minutes)? #Gogglebox Anyone?” a fourth said.
“I‘ve noticed that there’s a lot of airtime for Pete & Sophie on #Gogglebox @C4Gogglebox Maybe a little less on them and more on some others…” another viewer shared.
