Celebrity Gogglebox returned for a new series tonight (June 10) along with a whole host of hilarious celebrity interactions.
While familiar faces such as Joanna Lumley, Sam Ryder, Denise Van Outen and Guz Khan sat down to watch the latest TV highlights, viewers were treated to a rewatch of the Platinum Jubilee special.
Joining the team of armchair critics were Rylan Clark and his mum Linda, who watched the Queen meet Paddington in Buckingham Palace as hilarity ensued.
Although Paddington is the nation's beloved animated bear, it seemed Linda was unsure how exactly he was appearing on the screen.

"Do you reckon he's there?" she asked a baffled Rylan. "What?" Rylan responded.

"He's not there, is he?" Linda repeated and when asked who, clarified she did in fact mean Paddington. However, things were not cleared up. "That is the real Queen." she told Rylan.
"Yes, but Paddington is not a real bear," Rylan replied, amused. Linda exclaimed she knew he wasn't a real bear, saying: "She ain't that thick." It soon became clear she thought Paddington was a puppet.
In the end, Linda was asking, frankly, valid questions. "How does she [the Queen] know? Can she see it talking to her...?"
But Rylan had had enough and simply walked away. "No, mum, cause it's not there. I've had this chat with you before."
Fans found the moment just as hilarious and endearing as Rylan. "No one better tell Rylan's mam Paddington is CGI, she's too precious," one person said.
While another gave Paddington a run for his money: "Rylan's mum is a national treasure."
Celebrity Gogglebox airs on Friday nights at 9pm on Channel 4.
