Gogglebox has been praised by viewers for its coverage of the documentary on the Hillsborough disaster, where 96 Liverpool fans lost their life.
The cast of the Channel 4 reality show watched BBC Two’s Hillsborough and were brought to tears as they listened to the families of those killed and their 27-year campaign for justice.
The show was quickly lauded for covering the documentary.
Thank you #gogglebox for showing Hillsborough that will hit home what discrimination and justice looks like non football fans
