Gogglebox viewers have called for sisters Ellie and Izzi Warner to be axed from the show over a controversial joke about the #MeToo movement.

During last night's episode of the Channel Four reality show Ellie told her sister that she made a game out of the movement against sexual harassment and sexual assault which spread virally on social media in October 2017.

Ellie revealed she'd made up a game of tag based on the movement in which she and her friends grabbed the other women's boobs or bums.

She said: "I played Tag not so long ago... but we called it #MeToo and basically we had to chase each other and either grab somebody's boob or bum.

"And they were then it."

Ellie and Izzi sparked calls for them to be removed from the show

Ellie's sister Izzi scolded her over the comment, saying: "I don't think you are supposed to make a game out of the #MeToo movement Ellie."

Izzi also came under fire after she suggested Prime Minister Boris Johnson should have ‘put his k**b in her gob and shut her up’ while being questioned by a woman.

"So ones said Boris Johnson should stick his n*b in someone’s mouth to shut her up and the other has made a game and joke about the #MeToo movement, how are they still on the show?" asked one viewer on Twitter.

"That’s pretty horrible. Ellie made a game out of the #MeToo movement? It’s not a joke," said another.

"Ellie and her sister are just vile and uneducated. Joke about #MeToo? Why are they still on @C4Gogglebox @Channel4?"

Another wrote: "Disgusted with the woman on Gogglebox who made a game out of the #MeToo movement. Even more disgusted that Gogglebox included that in the episode."

"It's called Tag, not Tig. And making a game out of #MeToo is just SO bloody disrespectful! Absolutely appalling," said another.

And another Gogglebox watcher said: "Can't believe someone made a joke game out of #MeToo where you play Tag and grab each others breast or bottom. Izzy and Ellie need removing from Gogglebox."

Earlier this year Ellie was forced to defend herself after being accused of 'animal abuse' by angry viewers.

She faced a tide of criticism on social media after pushing her six-month-old Italian Greyhound Mick away from her food.

In response to one fan's criticism, Ellie wrote: "Thank you for your comment and under normal circumstances that would have been appropriate, but considering I was being scalded that was what I had time for in that particular moment, mick is not hurt and is a very happy dog. Have a nice weekend."


The M.E.N. has contacted  Channel Four and representatives for the sisters for comment.
