The pair often have their pets with them during the episodes

Gogglebox stars Georgia Bell and Abbie Lynn have sparked concern among viewers after a recent episode showed grapes on their table, dangerously close to a white Samoyed dog.

The Channel 4 programme, which aired on Friday, November 1, featured the duo alongside their usual snacks.


However, eagle-eyed fans quickly spotted the potential hazard, as grapes are known to be toxic to dogs.

Viewers took to social media to warn the pair about the risks associated with having the fruit within reach of their canine companion.

Grapes can be highly toxic to dogs, potentially causing severe kidney damage or even death if ingested.

The Kennel Club warns that even small amounts can be harmful, and the danger extends to foods containing grapes, such as mince pies and Christmas cakes.

Not all dogs react the same way, but the risk is significant enough to warrant caution. The toxicity also applies to raisins, currants, and sultanas.

Prompt treatment is crucial if a dog consumes grapes, as early intervention can prevent fatal outcomes. Pet owners are advised to keep these fruits well out of reach of their canine companions.

Viewers quickly took to social media to express their concerns. One fan wrote on X: "Get those grapes off that table, they're toxic to dogs."

Another echoed: "Georgia and Abbie have grapes on the table again, hope that lovely dog doesn't eat any."

This isn't the first time Gogglebox stars have been called out for having grapes near dogs.

Earlier this month, a viewer commented: "Not good for Ellie and Abbie to have the grapes on the table which are toxic to dogs."(sic)

The incident has raised awareness about the potential dangers of common household foods to pets.

Apples, blueberries, and bananas are generally safe, but avocados, cherries, and tomatoes are toxic.

Some vegetables, including asparagus, mushrooms (especially wild ones), and onions, can also cause serious harm if ingested by dogs.

This isn't the first time that Bell and Lynn have been criticised for their snack choices around pets.

The show's producers have been urged by viewers to implement stricter guidelines to ensure the safety of animals present during filming.
