A technical glitch affecting their website meant fans couldn't watch Gogglebox on demand.

The problem also wreaked havoc on Channel 4 News and The Last Leg.

Posting on social media, a rep for Channel 4 apologised to viewers for the problem.

They said: "We’re aware of technical difficulties which means tonight’s News, Gogglebox & The Last Leg won’t be available on our on-demand streaming service.

"Sorry about that but rest assured we’re working hard to fix it and normal service should resume by tomorrow.

"Those shows should still be available on normal live TV though, so you don't have to miss them."

During Celebrity Gogglebox the cast were left moved to tears as the show broadcast a heartbreaking real-life tragedy.

Clare Balding and MasterChef star Gregg Wallace were among those left wiping away tears at the spine-chilling scenes.

They watched a clip from the diving documentary The Deepest Breath, on Netflix.

The show left the cast stunned when it transpired that one of the participants had fatally drowned in a moment that was captured on-camera.

It wasn't the first shock from the eye-opening documentary about individuals who partook in 'free diving' which resulted in them being underwater without oxygen for extended periods of time.

Earlier on, stars on the show, including Denise Van Outen and Duncan James, were left gasping as one of the participants was left needing mouth-to-mouth after collapsing underwater and being starved of oxygen.
