Channel 4 forced to apologise over technical glitch as Gogglebox is affected
Channel 4 has been forced to issue an apology to Gogglebox and The Last Leg fans after the shows were affected by a technical issue.
The Friday night shows are usually available to stream on the broadcaster's on demand service as they air on television under the 'Live TV' option on the site.
However, viewers were unable to tune into the favourite Friday night shows online meaning fans were hit with error messages when using the streaming service to watch the latest episodes of Gogglebox and The Last Leg.
Channel 4 took to Twitter to issue an apology to its viewers and reveal the glitch was due to a 'technical issue'.
A tweet from the broadcaster read: "We’re aware of technical difficulties which means tonight’s News, Gogglebox & The Last Leg won’t be available on our on-demand streaming service. Sorry about that but rest assured we’re working hard to fix it and normal service should resume by tomorrow."
