Fans of Gogglebox have called for long-time star Mary Killen to be axed from the show with many branding her "joyless and horrible".
In the most recent episode of the Channel 4 programme, the contributor from Wiltshire was left appalled after witnessing Finland's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest in Malmo, Sweden.
Being visibly disgusted by the act, which involved a man appearing naked from the waist down, Mary Killen shouted: "Oh you stupid little man!"
Talking with her husband Giles, she later added: "It's when you've got no talent, you just try and shock instead."

Gogglebox fans soon blasted the star for her thoughts on Teemu Keisteri's performance with one person calling her a joy-kill.
One person wrote on social media: "I'm sorry, but Mary is so utterly joyless and it's not amusing anymore."
Another person said: "Mary has just turned into a horrible, joyless h**."
A third person added: "Please bin fun sponge Mary. Keep Giles but get rid of that annoying bore."
A fourth person said: "I used to think Giles was going to end up under the patio, but now I think the bloke deserves a medal for putting up with Mary’s joyless ways."

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
