Jordan Banjo, a star of Celebrity Gogglebox, walked off camera after viewing a terrifying scene from the horror film Weapons on the July 3 episode of the Channel 4 show. The dancer and member of Diversity was watching alongside fellow star Perri Kiely when a particularly gruesome moment prompted him to seek a breather.
What Happened During the Episode
The episode featured the celebrity armchair critics watching a range of programmes, from Countdown to Clarkson's Farm. However, many looked horrified when they tuned into the horror film Weapons, which revolves around 17 children from the same classroom who mysteriously disappear on the same night at the same time.
During the film, a creepy character named Aunt Gladys (played by Amy Madigan) visited a house and asked for a bowl instead of a glass of water. Things took a nasty turn when she took a wooden stick she had been fiddling with and dragged it across her hand, cutting it open, which left Jordan gasping.
Jordan's Reaction and Walk-Off
Jordan held a cushion up to block the screen as a man in the film was then seen opening his mouth and vomiting streams of black liquid. "I need a break, I need a break," Jordan said, as Perri exclaimed: "No!" The dancer then stood up and moved away from the chair, explaining: "I need a drink. Do you want anything?"
However, he soon rushed back, explaining to Perri that when he had got to the kitchen, he spotted a bowl of water on the side and it gave him a fright. "No!" he said, sitting back down without having poured the drinks.
Fan Reactions
Fans were tickled by the scenes, with one posting on X: "So funny." Someone else posted on the platform, formerly Twitter: "Who doesn’t just love a bit of Celebrity Gogglebox. Always such an entertaining way to spend the time." "The perfect switch your brain off TV this time of night needs," they added. Another viewer said it was "brilliant stuff," while someone else described the series as "top notch."
Celebrity Gogglebox airs on Channel 4.
