Holiday woes
Gogglebox couple left fuming over holiday nightmare amid power cut and toilets that won’t flush at £200 a night hotel
GOGGLEBOX legends Dave and Shirley Griffiths' recent escape to the sun had them wanting to jet back to the UK.
The Welsh couple joined the popular Channel 4 show in 2015 and, with the celebrity edition currently airing on Fridays, have headed on holiday.

However, the Gogglebox stars have had a far from relaxing experience.
Heading off to Spain a week ago, the duo shared holiday snaps online of them soaking up the sun and trying to forget their hotel nightmare.
The married couple were left without running water and electricity at their resort, revealing they couldn't even flush their toilet.
Taking to Twitter, the armchair TV bingers tweeted: "@TUIUK what's happening at the hotel H10 Vintage Salou all the electricity is off no water, no toilets, no food, can't even flush the toilet."

Fuming, they continued: "Rep doesn't have no idea, it's a shambles, it's been off since 2 o'clock this afternoon, now 11.30 and still not sorted."
This took place last Wednesday with holiday operator TUI not replying until Thursday.
TUI said: "Hi Dave, I am sorry to hear there is an issue in resort. As you are in resort we are unable to assist further and would direct you to call our 24/7 holiday line who will be able to advise further. The number is +44 (0) 3333 365147. Thank you, ^Tamara ".
Fans united on the duo's Twitter account to share their displeasure at the way they had been treated.

It was radio silence on Twitter until Monday when they shared a smiling photo and the caption: "All good things come to an end last night of hols."
that a Spokesperson from TUI said: "We completely understand how frustrating a short power outage can be and would like to apologise to those customers impacted at the H10 Mediterranean Village in Spain. Our TUI team contacted all customers staying at the hotel once the power was restored to offer a gesture of goodwill. All facilities are now operating as normal."
In a series of happy holiday snaps on Instagram, Dave and Shirley can be seen enjoying a drink or two and not letting on that they may have missed a shower or two.
They weren't the only sofa-loving cast members to head on holiday. Comedy duo Lee Riley and co-star Jenny Newby jetted off to Cyprus recently with his partner Steve.
