Next on the agenda for Celebrity Gogglebox, viewers were buzzing about Chris Packham's commentary on the latest television shows. Some found his sharp wit and humor to be refreshing, while others felt he was a bit of a "mood vacuum." However, the self-aware host of Springwatch had already acknowledged that his "ruthless criticism" may not sit well with fans of the beloved Channel 4 program.
On tonight's episode, the 63-year-old didn't hold back as he complained about Glastonbury becoming too mainstream, admitted he hadn't heard of Shania Twain's hit song, and even took a dig at popular reality show Love Island. Some viewers were not pleased with his epic takedowns, with one tweeting, "Oh great, it's a Chris Packham episode #CelebrityGogglebox #moodvacuum." Another wrote, "What is the actual point of Chris and Megan on here, especially Chris? He brings nothing to the program."
Others, however, fully endorsed Chris' take on the week's TV. One fan said, "Yep, Chris is just summing up exactly what I would think about being at Glastonbury too!" Another declared, "I love Celebrity Gogglebox so much. Chris is so funny." Even a fellow celebrity, @Coggs29, chimed in, saying, "Chris Packham while being inflicted with Love Island. 'Can you put some more cyanide in my drink please?' Same, Chris. Same."
During the show, Chris was joined by his step-daughter Megan, who added some youthful perspective to the mix. However, some viewers questioned her presence, with one tweeting, "What is the actual point of Chris and Megan on here, especially Chris? He brings nothing to the program." While others wholeheartedly enjoyed their dynamic, with one fan declaring, "I love Celebrity Gogglebox so much. Chris is so funny. I'd have leprosy to get out of that... I'm with you, Chris."
As the show continued, Chris didn't hold back his opinions, even when it came to Megan's music taste and her choice of strawberries. Some viewers were not impressed, with one tweeting, "Bloomin' heck, Chris Packham is a fun vacuum on @C4Gogglebox. Why do they keep him on #CelebrityGogglebox? He makes a fun program miserable." Others, however, found his commentary to be spot-on and relatable.
Chris, who is best known as an environmentalist and presenter on Springwatch, previously expressed concern about his critical nature on the show. He explained, "I was more worried about the fact that they film it in a way where there's no one in the room, you're there with just some cameras and I do let rip at things. I do say, in the comfort of my own home, I'm ruthlessly critical of whatever we're watching."
Despite his worries, Chris was excited to appear on the show with his stepdaughter, who is a big fan of Gogglebox. And it seems viewers are enjoying their dynamic as well, with one tweeting, "I love seeing Chris and Megan on #CelebrityGogglebox. They make a great duo." Others were excited to see other famous faces, such as Rylan Clark and his mom, Miquita Oliver and her mom, and Fearne Cotton and Gok Wan.
