Sitting back and taking in the madness, the Gogglebox cast shared some witty thoughts, amazing facial expressions, and an overarching declaration that it was the “most awkward thing” they have ever viewed.
As the clip rolled, Alison of the Worthington family made a cheeky remark about Ant and Dec, sharing: “I’ve never thought they were sexy but they’re sexy when they get angry.”
It left her husband George and daughter Helena cracking up as the carnage continued to unfold.
While Jimmy Bullard’s anger intensified, best friends Jenny and Lee from Hull looked aghast, with Lee saying: “Take a break, take a break, take a break!”

Sinitta then stormed off, leaving several viewers asking where she went, and why Gemma Collins then followed suit.
But reactions really came to a peak on Gogglebox when an utterly deflated-looking Adam Thomas was announced as being the winner of the show.
Helena noticed how upset he looked, quipping: “You know what that sad man needs? A crown.”
But the scene proved to be too much for friends Daniella and Danielle from Leeds, with Danielle bringing her hands up to cover her face.
She then expressed: “The hat’s not even staying on, this is just the most awkward thing I’ve ever watched.”
Jimmy was riled when Ant insisted that Adam Thomas wasn’t intimidating in scenes that weren’t aired on TV due to the C-word being thrown around.
The former footballer called it a “liberty” and was backed by his controversial pal David Haye, who demanded Adam explain why he was lobbing obscenities at Jimmy.
The finale ended up receiving over 1,000 complaints to Ofcom.
