A third added: "Last night's #Gogglebox has totally moved me - seeing the lovely Jenny break down after the King's speech was a real moment."
The Channel 4 show returned for a new series recently
This week's episode was not the first to air since the Queen's passing. Last week, Channel 4 confirmed that the first episode in the series would air as normal despite being scheduled the day after the monarch's passing. At the time, Channel 4 explained they would be airing the episode as planned to offer a "valuable sense of continuity" to audiences.
A statement read: "Channel 4 has made significant changes to our schedule, including added extended news coverage, to ensure that Channel 4 is respectful following the news from Buckingham Palace about the death of Her Majesty The Queen.
"Channel 4 exists to offer viewers an alternative and that is particularly important at times like this. Gogglebox is a much loved national institution and it will air as planned tonight bringing a valuable sense of continuity for many of our viewers."
