Along Gogglebox bosses did not reference Izzi’s absence, it is believed the coronavirus lockdown is to blame.
The sisters don’t live together, so the current Government restrictions mean they can’t film Gogglebox together.
Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: “Aw, I’m really missing the Ellie/Izzi duo on #Gogglebox tonight.”
Gogglebox Izzi has had a sex change and shrunk into the sofa.
Another added: “Izzi is self-isolating. Hence Nat taking her place on tonight’s episode.”
