GOGGLEBOX fans are up in arms after show favourites Simon and Jane revealed a major change to this week's schedule.
The popular C4 show has been uprooted from its usual Friday night slot and moved to tomorrow night at 9pm instead.
Writing on Instagram, the reality pair said: "We are getting ready for this week’s Gogglebox! *FUN FACT* – for one week only, Gogglebox will be shown on Saturday night! As if things in the country weren’t confusing enough, eh? 😂 So, C4, Saturday night at 9pm."
Their followers weren't impressed, with one writing: "Omg Friday night without gogglebox is like Gin without tonic 😢 plus its another day to wait."
Another said: "How am I going to break it to mum she has to wait a day 😢."
A third posted: "I'm sure they could have put the Friday night rubbish on at a different time. Have a great Friday night x"

He told the Mirror: "It’s kind of a moving target. I mean, in all the days I did it in the ‘80s, I was never in a position where you had no idea what and who the government would be at the end of the week.
