The stars of Gogglebox were completely aghast after seeing scenes from a new Netflix show, that were pretty racy to say the least. Here's the trailer for the show, so you've got an idea of what we're dealing with here.
If you’re on a show like Gogglebox, Channel 4’s revolutionary watch-people-watching-people-on-telly programme, then you should be used to seeing some pretty challenging stuff.

They literally watch whatever the world of TV sees fit to put out there, whether that’s scary, funny, or – as in this case – full of sex.
The show is called Obsession and it stars Richard Armitage as William, a man who begins an illicit affair with his son’s fiancée Anna, played by Charlie Murphy.
A synopsis reads: "A contemporary adaptation of Josephine Hart's novella, Damage, the story centres around a dangerous love triangle that emerges when the enigmatic Anna Barton embarks on a passionate affair with her fiancé’s father, William.
“Whilst Anna fights to sustain both relationships, William is drawn into an obsessive spiral.
“But how long can they keep their secret hidden before someone gets hurt?"

Well, the Gogglebox crew caught a glimpse of one particularly raunchy scene in this week’s episode, and the characters wasted no time setting out the stall for the show.
In fact, William hand-fed an olive straight into Anna’s mouth, just a matter of seconds after meeting her for the first time, then within no time they were getting undressed, with Anna stripping William totally down - before removing her own underwear - and lying on the floor for a bit of you-know what.
“F***ing hell, he’s done absolutely zero groundwork here,” Pete Sandiford said.
“He must be good!”

Speaking to his husband Daniel, Stephen Webb said: “I like foreplay first, don’t you?”
“That was the foreplay!” Daniel responded.
Stephen came back: “Oh! I’d be like, hurry up, love, I ain’t got no clothes on, I’m freezing!
“Get your drawers off!”
After the scene came to a close, fairly quickly it has to be said, Jenny Newbie said: “Oh, is that it?”

Lee Riley added: “Two minute wonder.”
Sophie Sandiford said: “Not even worth getting undressed for!”
Tom Malone said to his wife Julie: “I think the train’s arrived there, Julie.”
Julie added: “Yeah, it didn’t last very long.”

Obsession, if you’re enticed by all of this talk, features four hour-long episodes that you can catch on Netflix right now.
The series is a standalone, so there’s not going to be a second series.
That does mean that you’ll get the closure you need from just the four episodes, though.
Gogglebox is on Channel 4 on Fridays at 9:00pm.
