Gogglebox stars retch over 'disgusting' Rise and Fall challenge: 'That's grim'
Gogglebox was back on Friday night, with the usual stars tuning into the weird and wonderful TV moments from the week.
Gogglebox stars disgusted by Rise and Fall task
One show the Gogglebox cast watched was radio presenter Greg James' new series, Rise and Fall. The Channel 4 television fanatics were left gagging and hiding their faces though during one scene in which contestants had to "lick plates clean", with many of the stars close to throwing up. Gogglebox favourites were "disgusted" by the reality show.
In a recent episode of Rise and Fall, host Greg described one challenge as "the worst ever".
The contestants were tasked with licking dirty plates clean.
Working as pot washers at a restaurant, they had to use only their tongues to clear the plates.
Several of the Gogglebox regulars such as Jenny Newby and Lee Riley, Peter and Sophie Sandiford and Dave and Shirley Griffiths found the scenes revolting as they retched over the brutal challenge.

As the challenge was about to be explained, Roisin Kelly told her boyfriend Joe Kyle: "Considering they started off episode one with electrocution, now that we're so close to the money, I don't know what they'll be making them do..."
As Gregg explained the contestants would be pot washing, Shirley remarked: "That's not hard... Washing plates, is it?"
However, Greg went on to say: "But there's just one tiny thing...They can only use their tongues."
"That's grim!" Pete remarked as Sophie added: "No way!"
Many of the stars began heaving as they watched the stars of the show taking on the challenge and licking remnants of food off other peoples' plates.
Several had to look away and Dave and Shirley were visibly disgusted.
Gogglebox viewers also had a lot to say about the gruesome task and the stars' reactions to it.
