Gogglebox fans have accused two of the show's stars of breaking social distancing rules because they're spending time in the same house.
Viewers spotted that sisters Ellie and Izzi had been filming in the same living room. In previous episodes, Ellie had appeared with her boyfriend Nat instead of Izzi, so fans were confused when Izzi returned on last night's programme (17 April).

Despite keeping more than 2m apart on the sofa, the sisters don't appear to live together, so would likely have been visiting each other to record the show.
Government guidance on coronavirus reads: "You should not be visiting family members who do not live in your home."
Taking to Twitter, a fan of the show wrote: "Ellie and Izzy have broken all social distancing rules by seeing each other and I'm sat here having not seen my boyfriend for 4 weeks."

Another added: "Okay so if I can't go and see my parents why are the Gogglebox cast social distancing in the lounges with family and friends they don't live with?!!"
This isn't the first time people on the show have been criticised for not following the rules. Pals Lee Riley and Jenny Newby were also called out for filming together, but they later confirmed they were staying in the same caravan during lockdown.
A show spokesperson told LADbible: "Most of the families live together but where they don't, they are complying with PHE [Public Health England] social distancing guidelines.

"Gogglebox will only film with families where it's safe to do so. The health and safety of our cast and crew is paramount."
