GOGGLEBOX fans have hit out at Mary Killen after she took a swipe at vegetarian and vegan children.
Monday night saw the cast of Gogglebox reacting to the best TV from over the festive period.
One of the shows featured Jamie Oliver whipping up a veggie-friendly alternative to turkey - something Mary was less than impressed with.
Speaking to husband Giles Wood, she said: "It’s going to be ghastly this year for many families, because all of the little self-righteous children will be vegans or vegetarians."
Then, in a slightly mocking voice, she added: "‘We don’t want the turkey!’”
Fans rushed to Twitter to have their say on Mary's views, with one writing: "Strange. Mary slagging off veggie kids. Who would even think of something like that?"

Another said: "Mary has just gone right down in my estimation - calling children that don’t want turkey ‘self righteous’. I call them heroes."
A third said: "Bit of a rude remark about vegans and vegetarians on #Gogglebox tonight from Mary. Sweeping generalisation too. No need for that."
And a fourth added: "Nothing wrong with not wanting to eat animals Mary!"
It comes after Mary revealed she and Giles are getting used to fame on an international level.

"It’s happened in Italy, Belgium and Australia. It’s surprising. And it’s people from all walks of life.
“It’s surreal because we didn’t know they could watch Gogglebox there. But they tell us they illegally watch it on VPNs.”
