Gogglebox fans left confused by surprise new addition to Izzi and Ellie's family
Gogglebox fans have been left scratching their heads during Friday’s episode, 27 September. As viewers sat down to watch their favourite households sit down to watch the best telly of the week, but there was one unexpected visitor.
Sisters Ellie and Izzi Warner never fail to entertain viewers with their hilarious conversations, and on Friday’s episode, they had a special guest, a pet chicken. It’s a huge difference from the pooches we’ve seen the sisters joined by before, including Ellie’s Italian greyhounds, Mick and Madge, whom Izzi has been heard calling ‘double trouble’. As the cameras cut to the sisters in Leeds, Izzi could be heard questioning how to hold the chicken, as Ellie tried to offer an explanation.
Ellie was then seen placing the chicken on the floor, to make it easier for a petrified Izzi to hold the bird, although she couldn’t bring herself to do it.

As Ellie returned to pick up the chicken, it started frantically flapping around, to Izzi’s dismay, as she exclaimed that was exactly what she was scared of.
Fans were left bamboozled by the unusual choice of the pet in the living room, as they took to X, formerly known as Twitter to express their confusion. “What on Earth are Ellie and Izzi doing with a live Chicken??” questioned one.
“Just a random chicken in the front room, as you do,” laughed another, as a third wrote: “That fluffy chicken is adorable!!”
“Why the f do they have a chicken? And are they going to eat it?” questioned another confused fan.
Sisters Izzi and Ellie have been entertaining Channel 4 viewers since 2015. The pair have since shared their lives with fans, as Ellie announced her pregnancy on the show in December 2022. The 32-year-old hairdresser told her sister: "I went for a scan on Saturday. That's the picture." She joked the photo 'looks like an alien'.
Ellie gave birth to son Ezra in May 2023 with her boyfriend Nat Eddleston. Izzi also has two children, a son named Bobby and a daughter called Bessie, and often shares snaps of them on social media, who she shares with boyfriend Grant.
Although the sisters usually keep their family off screen, Izzi’s children have made an appearance on the famous sofa in the past. One scene that the sisters featured in showed 'Auntie Ellie' giving her niece and nephew an ice lolly which Izzi wasn't too happy about.
On Friday night’s episode, Izzi and Ellie, along with the rest of the cast were seen giving their opinions on hit shows including the new series of Strictly Come Dancing, and Channel 4’s Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.
