Celebrity Gogglebox fans hit out at Rylan Clark for ‘humiliating his mum’ on national TV
Celebrity Gogglebox fans have criticised Rylan Clark after claiming that he 'humiliated' his mum, Linda, during Friday evening's episode.
Rylan is a firm favourite on Gogglebox and viewers are always delighted to see the presenter joined by his mum.
They were especially excited to see the pair together after Linda had spent the last few months recovering from a fall.

However, not long into the ep and viewers were criticising Rylan, claiming he had been 'humiliating' Linda.
At one point in the ep, Linda wanted to get up to get some meds for her hay fever.
But Rylan was quick to correct her on her pronunciation of 'antihistamine', with Linda accidentally calling it 'anterhistermine'.
"I'm not stupid, so stop trying to make it sound like I am!" she said.
Rylan responded: "I'm not, I'm just trying to set you right. Antihistamine."
"But you knew what I was saying, didn't you?" Linda said in response.
Celebrity Gogglebox viewers were not happy, with one asking: "Rylan never stops humiliating his poor mother. Why does she put up with it?"
While another said: "Anyone else wish Rylan would stop humiliating his mum, mine would slap me if i kept doing it lol."
Others were quick to praise the duo, however, with many calling for a show dedicated to just Rylan and his mum.
"Honestly could watch a full hour of just @Rylan and his mum on #Gogglebox," said one.
"Absolutely hysterical, and their relationship seems simply the best."
And another added: "Please x 100 make a stand alone show with Linda.
"She's so genuine, down to earth, relatable, importantly she is hilarious & has us howling.
"We watch on catch up & by then we're 2 bottles of wine in & crying at her one liners. I wish my Mum had a snippet of Linda in her."
A third commented: "Love the relationship between Rylan and he’s mum. So nice to see Linda looking so well."
LADbible has reached out to Rylan's rep for comment.
In other Gogglebox news, Daniel Lustig has recently opened up on what life has been like after his divorce from Stephen Webb.
The salon owners, who were married for six years, together for 11, announced their departure from the Channel 4 show last year.
On the relationship, the 43-year-old told the My Dirty Laundry podcast: "We had a really good innings.
"It was really good for a really long time and then it kind of petered off, and then we kind of decided the best thing was to end as friends.
"We're work colleagues and partners at work as well and our basis of our relationship has always been friendship as well.
"We get on better now than we did when we were together, so it's fine.
"I know for a lot of people they probably can't understand it, but it has worked out for us."
Lustig said that he isn't ready to meet someone yet, meanwhile Webb, 52, has signed up to Celebs Go Dating.
