Gogglebox fans were left feeling divided during the latest episode as newbies Elaine and her son Seb made their debut on the Channel 4 show.
On Friday night (September 15) the new cast members talked about Seb’s upcoming graduation, with Elaine sharing her thoughts on what she plans to wear to the occasion.
But given the obvious change, Gogglebox fans headed straight to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their thoughts on the brand new pair.

Another said: “Honestly….this new pair….Bl**dy awful….Even the lad knows it himself.”
A third wrote: “Not sure about the new #Goggleboxers.”
Meanwhile fourth viewer wrote a lengthy post and shared: “I’m hoping to soothe my headache away by decompressing with some Friday night telly.
“I tuned in for #Rig45 on #More4 (even though it’s a bit pants) but it seems to have moved time slots. So instead it’s #Gogglebox, but… there’s *whispers* NEW PEOPLE on it! *clutches pearls*.”
However some viewers were happy to see the new Gogglebox stars on their screens and told fans to give them a “chance”.

Offering an opposing view, one fan wrote: “Oh my god there’s a new family and she’s already quoting coco Chanel, icon.”
While another wrote: “Let’s give the new couple a chance.”
The news of Elaine and Seb’s appearance comes after original star Stephen Webb and his husband Daniel announced that they decided to leave the show.
A statement released by Channel 4 and Studio Lambert last week, read:
“After a brilliant and illustrious time on Gogglebox, Stephen and Daniel have decided that now is the right time to explore life beyond the sofa and leave the show.
“As one of the original Goggleboxers, Stephen has entertained the nation with his hilarious quips since the show first started in 2013, sharing his opinions on the best and biggest TV events of the last ten years.
“We would like to thank him and Daniel for being utterly brilliant contributors to the show, and we wish them well with their future projects.”
