Tom hit back while taking part in an Instagram Q&A with his followers yesterday (June 9).
When a fan asked if the show was scripted, he said: “If Gogglebox was scripted I wouldn’t sound so stupid half the time.
“It’s not scripted, it’s just me and my family chatting [bleep]. The same with the other families – it’s just their opinion on stuff.”
Tom and his family first appeared on Gogglebox for the fourth series back in 2014.

Last month, the Manchester lad stunned fans after posting a throwback snap of himself on Twitter, with some subsequently claiming he looked completely different.
He shared the photo alongside a picture of himself now, writing: “Do these two pictures even look like the same person?”
The first showed the TV star with a shaven hair and a beard, while the second was of a baby-faced Tom Jr sporting a huge quiff and a smooth face.
Fans couldn’t believe the difference, with one writing: “It’s like the good twin and the bad twin.”
