Mary and Giles, stars of the popular show Gogglebox, have recently faced criticism from viewers. It all started when the couple expressed their disapproval of Pete Wicks' latest performance on Strictly Come Dancing. Pete, a former star on Towie, wowed the judges and audience with his Samba to the theme song of the 1997 comedy film, George of the Jungle, during the show's Movie Week. However, Mary and Giles were not impressed when they watched the dance on Gogglebox.
As the couple watched Pete's lively routine, they were quick to voice their negative opinions. "That's disgusting," Mary exclaimed, clearly not a fan of his moves. She went on to say that she believes Pete has "got the wrong end of the stick" and that "it's meant to be about dancing, not pornography." Giles chimed in, adding that he found Pete's pelvic circling to be "wrong."
Their remarks did not sit well with many viewers, who took to social media to defend Pete and tell Mary and Giles to "calm down." One user even pointed out that Mary must not have ever watched pornography if she thinks Pete's routine resembles it. Despite the couple's disapproval, the judges on Strictly thought Pete's performance was brilliant.
Shirley Ballas praised Pete for how far he has come since the launch show, saying he was "unrecognisable." She also commended him for not taking himself too seriously, but still taking the dance seriously. Anton Du Beke, who has been a judge on the show since this season, noted that he no longer feels nervous watching Pete perform, as he has greatly improved. Even Craig Revel Horwood, known for his criticism, called it Pete's "personal best."
While Mary and Giles may not have appreciated Pete's dance, many others did. The couple's negative comments were met with backlash from viewers, with some even expressing annoyance at their constant equating of things to pornography. As the show continues, it will be interesting to see if Mary and Giles have any other strong opinions on the performances. Tune in to Gogglebox on Fridays at 9pm on Channel 4 to catch all the reactions and drama.
