Gogglebox has been hit by Ofcom complaints after viewers were shocked by a graphic scene showing artificially inseminated turkeys
Gogglebox has been hit by Ofcom complaints after last week’s episode featured a graphic scene of turkeys having sex.
Viewers were so shocked by the clip for Autumn At Jimmy’s Farm that they wrote to protest to the broadcast regulator.
In the scene, farmers are seen detailing how artificial insemination is performed on turkeys, as they used a tube to collect sperm from a male bird, as the animals were revealed to have no penis.

The Gogglebox stars were understandably horrified by the scene, as Julie Malone put it in shock: “ Oh, don’t tell me he’s going w ** ka turkey! ”
Mary and Marina couldn’t help but laugh as they watched a farmer massage the male turkey, as they claimed: “ He gives him a little tickle – I bet he likes it! ”
When the farmers finished artificial insemination, the stars were seen to close their eyes or turn away in disgust.
