Channel 4 Gogglebox favourite Shirley under fire over treatment of co-star after 'insult'

Gogglebox favourite Shirley Griffiths came under fire over her treatment of co-star and husband Dave on the show tonight (Friday, April 22). The hit show was back on Channel 4 as the sofa critics gave their opinions on the week's best TV shows including the return of Britain's Got Talent and Oti Mabuse's new dating show Romeo and Duet.

The stars were watching a dominatrix explain one particular technique when Shirley made a brutal joke about Dave's private parts. She quipped: "You’d be no good love, cos you haven’t got no girth, have you?"

Viewers were shocked by the comment. @LukeHayesII1 said on Twitter: "Why does Shirley always insult her husband on national TV? #Gogglebox."
