Viewers were left feeling ‘sick’ and furious with Channel 4 for airing ‘the bathtub’ scene.
The stars of Gogglebox were equally horrified by the film, which became known for its unsettling scenes.
The clip showed the moment that Barry Keoghan’s character Oliver was invited to stay at Felix’s (Jacob Elordi) stately home.
Things seemed fairly tame until the moment Oliver caught Felix pleasuring himself in their shared bathroom.
But the bit that really pushed people over the edge was when Oliver climbed into the bath as the water was draining and drank the used bath water.
“What is he doing!!! Oh for f*** sake,” Daniella shouted as her best pal Danielle watched in shock.
“Who’s watching this?!” Jenny demanded before Lee cheekily joked that he’d “be in the bathtub with him”.
A horrified Giles covered Mary’s eyes, while others shouted that the movie had “gone too far”.
Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn stars Jacob Elordi, Barry Keoghan, Rosamund Pike, Richard E. Grant, and tells the story of a university student who invites a fellow student back to his eccentric family’s estate when he becomes obsessed with him.
While the film was critically-acclaimed and is expected to be recognised in the Oscar nominations, certain parts of it – including the much talked-about ‘bath scene’ that the Goggleboxers watched – have left viewers disgusted.
Taking to share their thoughts on THAT scene, one fan wrote: “Saw that scene from #Saltburn on #gogglebox and safe to say won’t be watching it ever.”
“Knowing what happens in that scene i still vomited,” a second wrote.
“I avoided saltburn as much as possible and now I cant unsee that scene,” said a third.
Another raged: “What the F**K did I just watch?! Thanks Gogglebox… I’ll never get that image out of my head!”
However, some found the stars’ reactions hilarious, with one writing: “the cast of #gogglebox watching that famous bathtub was bloody hilarious. one of the best things i’ve seen in a long time.”
“I so wish I’d watched Saltburn with the cast of Gogglebox … still laughing at their reactions to the bath scene,” another said with a laughing-crying face.
Barry was nominated for a Golden Globe for his role in Saltburn.
He got nomiated for Best Male Actor Motion Picture Drama.
Taking to his Instagram Barry shared his delight at the nomination and went on to gush about Saltburn.
He shared several pictures with the cast of the popular movie which has been receiving rave reviews.
First was a snap from the movie of Barry with Rosamund Pike followed by a picture of himself and the director Emerald Fennell on the red carpet at the premiere.
He shared more pictures of the entire cast and crew altogether and the final photo was of himself and his co-star Jacob Elordi.
The actor captioned the post saying: “Golden Globes darlin!
“Thank you @goldenglobes for the recognition.
“Thank you to the SALTBURN crew, best in the game.
“Thank you Margot, Josey amd Tom, everyone at Amazon and MRC.”
