Channel 4's Gogglebox sparked backlash for a six-week ad partnership with The National Lottery, airing full-length commercials during its October 3 episode.
Gogglebox viewers have criticized a new six-week partnership between Channel 4 and The National Lottery, which debuted in the show’s October 3 episode.
During the first ad break, cast members appeared in a promotional segment for the lottery, sparking backlash on social media.
