The Rev Kate Bottley, star of Gogglebox, Channel 4’s fly-on-the-wall show, has criticised BBC1 show Songs Of Praise for being ”depressing” and ”like a piece of soggy quiche”.
The vicar, who has become an unlikely TV favourite since appearing on the cult show, praised presenters Aled Jones and Diane Louise Jordan, and said that the Sunday teatime show was ”great for those who can’t get out to church.”
But she hit out at the ”over-exaggerated mouth movements, as if the singers are trying to chew a toffee at the same time”, and the congregations, adding: ”I’ve never seen an Anglican church so full on a Sunday evening ….and with such a huge variety of ages.”
