Gogglebox fans have been kickstarting their weekends with new episodes of the hit Channel 4 series every Friday since the 20th season started last month.
But fans have been left disappointed after Channel 4 announced that Gogglebox has lost its regular Friday night slot due to a major shake-up in scheduling.
Announcing the news, Channel 4 said: "It's one for your diary. Brand new Gogglebox isn't on its usual Friday night spot.
"Saturday at 9pm is your go-to for this week over on Channel 4."
Despite only being moved over by a day, fans weren't happy with the schedule change, taking to Twitter to vent their frustration.
One fan said: "I’m actually so mad they’ve moved Gogglebox to a Saturday because it’s been a Friday night tradition with me and Jonny for years. I even watched it in the hospital when in labour!!! Saturdays just don’t vibe the same."
Another tweeted: "#Gogglebox isn't Saturday night telly, @Channel4 it's end of the week/start of the weekend. 9pm is my marker to stop doing anything, sit down and pour a glass of wine. This decision is madness!"
Here's why Gogglebox isn't on this Friday and when it will return to its regular schedule.
Why isn't Gogglebox on tonight?
Tonight's Gogglebox has been moved from its regular Friday night slot to make room for a one-off revival of the award-winning 80s standup comedy show, Friday Night Live.
The 90-minute special will be shown tonight at 9pm and has been produced to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the show.
Ben Elton is set to return as host and the programme will feature some of the comedy stars first introduced in the 80s, including Harry Enfield, Jo Brand and Julian Clary.
There will also be some younger comedians making an appearance too, including 8 Out Of 10 Cats' Rosie Jones.
When does Gogglebox return to its Friday slot?
The good news for Gogglebox fans is that the move to a Saturday night slot isn't permanent.
She show will return to its regular Friday spot next week.
This was confirmed by Gogglebox's official Twitter account earlier today as it tweeted: "Brand new #Gogglebox this Saturday (not Friday)!
"Don’t worry, we’ll be returning back to the usual Friday night fun next week! 9pm on @Channel4."
