Gogglebox is facing an investigation by Ofcom after it aired graphic sex of turkeys having sex.
The popular Channel 4 show left viewers horrified after it aired what has been dubbed as an ‘unnecessary’ scene which showed turkey insemination.
The outrageous clip, which was originally aired on Autumn at Jimmy’s Farm, detailed in graphic scenes exactly how artificial insemination is performed on the birds.
Viewers watched with their hands over their eyes as the farmer held the turkeys by their legs in a bid to impregnate them.
The farmer at hand used a mix of natural mating and artificial insemination in a bid to grow their produce.

Gogglebox regulars including the Malone family watched in sheer disgust as the helpless turkey’s attempted to flap their way free in the hard-to-watch scenes.
Due to the fact that male turkeys don’t have penis’, farmer Jimmy explained that he has to use his little finger to stimulate the production of sperm in the birds.
This sparked a serious commotion online, with many viewers claiming that the birds were abused in the graphic clips.

“Did that man just pleasure a turkey?” questioned one fan.
“What have I just watched. I feel physically sick to my stomach!” another echoed.
A third spectator tweeted: “Honestly, that was one of the most horrific things I have ever watched. I won’t be eating Turkey this Christmas.”

“Absolutely rotten. That farmer looked like he enjoyed it too” insisted another.
Meanwhile, another shared: “Leave the turkey’s alone you horrid man!”.
“SO, IS THIS WHAT THEY CALL FARMING THESE DAYS?” another questioned.

Following the graphic episode of Gogglebox, the Channel 4 show will now face an investigation from Ofcom.
It comes after ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent faced over 20,000 complaints following Diversity’s BLM dance last month.
The ITV show racked up more complaints than any other show this year.
