CELEBRITY Gogglebox fans have threatened to boycott the show over one celeb couple's appearance.
The brand new series of the hit spin-off returned to Channel 4 with new and returning famous faces.
Included in the lineup is Rio and Kate Ferdinand - but they left fans at home divided.
Posting on social media, one Celebrity Gogglebox fan said: "Oh my goddddddder, you’ve just ruined one of my favourite shows."
"God no I'll just go back to watching old repeats of Gogglebox," raged another fan.

While a third posted: "an't stand the bloke, you just ruined one of my favourite shows."
However the couple's fans were quick to flood social media with positive messages of support.
One wrote: "People stop being so nasty what's wrong with Rio? Judging someone before you even watched it god probably didn't say that when he was on the football talking."
Another Rio fan said: "Why all the hate in the comments, honestly if you’re so offended by one person being part of a show for a few mins here and there you need to reassess how much emotional energy you waste on being unhappy over pointless things."
Kate and Rio are parents to two children together with the couple welcoming their first son together, Cree, in December 2020.
She is also step-mum to Lorenz, Tate, 11 and Tia – Rio’s kids with late wife Rebecca.
Rio and Kate recently returned from a romantic holiday as they soaked up the sun.
