Gogglebox fans have been absolutely loving the new Welsh version of the hit Channel 4 programme titled Gogglebocs Cymru.
The reality show hit screens in Wales first time on Wednesday on local broadcaster S4C and it received a very warm reception from viewers.
Much like the original version, it follows a cast of armchair critics as they deliver their sometimes withering verdicts on the week’s television.
Voiced by presenter and comedian Tudur Owen, the programme features families and friends from across the country, including from Bangor, Cardiff and Bridgend.
Among them are three brothers, Huw, Mike and Stephen, from Brynamman, and Elen, Natalie and Rebecca, a group of friends from Wrexham, where Ryan Reynolds has famously bought the football club.
There’s also husband and wife team Nayema and Osian from Caernarfon, grandfather and grandson Cian and John and partners Glain and Dafydd from Denbigh.
Fans flocked to Twitter to heap praise on Gogglebocs Cymru, with one branding the show ‘absolutely fabulous.’
