Since the lockdown rules came into force, Gogglebox has continued to air with rigged up cameras, to avoid a crew having to be in the cast homes.
However, some viewers have been concerned to see that some of the cast are still shooting the show, when they should be in separate homes as they don't live together.
The main ones coming under fire are sisters Ellie and Izzi.
Fans of the show were expecting to see Ellie joined by her boyfriend Nat who had previously taken Izzi's place during the UK's lockdown, but Izzi was back with her sister on the most recent episode last Friday (April 24).
Viewers then took to complaining Ofcom about the lack of social distancing on the show.
The watchdog exclusively told The Sun they had received 134 complaints.
The show has been rocked by coronavirus news.
