The Siddiqui family, a staple of Channel 4's Gogglebox since its 2013 debut, surprised fans during Friday's episode (14 March) by featuring a rarely-seen family member: their pet dog. The Derby-based family—comprising father Sid and sons Baasit, Umar, and occasional member Raza—were joined by the pup, who stole the show in a lighthearted moment.
In one scene, Baasit attempted to sit on the sofa but found the dog occupying his spot. Umar laughed as his brother failed to reclaim the seat, with the dog snuggling up to Umar instead. The identity of the dog's owner was not disclosed.
Elsewhere in the episode, viewers were left outraged by another family's interaction. Michael and Sally, along with their sons Jake and Harry, watched BBC's nature programme The Americas. When Sally expressed admiration for the Blue-footed booby's mating habits, her son sharply told her to 'shut the f**k up'.
Fans took to X to voice their disapproval, with one calling the behaviour 'utterly disgraceful' and urging Channel 4 not to feature the family again. Another commented, 'I can never imagine saying that to my parents, even in a jokey way.'
