Celebrity Gogglebox stars had mixed feelings on the reactions to dark comedy film Cocaine Bear, with some finding it hilarious and others frightened by the clip. 

Last night's episode of Celebrity Gogglebox (aired Friday, 30th June 2023) saw famous faces take to the sofa to watch some the recent TV highlights, including Elton John’s farewell UK performance at Glastonbury, Idris Elba’s new Apple TV+ show Hijack, reality series Below Deck and the Antiques Roadshow.

Some Gogglebox fans were entertained by the reactions to the film, with one writing, 'I didn’t know how much I needed to see Jane McDonald watching Cocaine Bear.'
