EX-GOGGLEBOX star Lisa Baggs has slammed the show for watering her family down in televised edits.
The Essex clan left the show last summer after three years in order to pursue other opportunities.

Now in a no holds barred chat on her sons’ YouTube channel, Not My Bagg, Lisa claimed the family sometimes proved to be ‘too much’ for the show.
She told fellow guest Married At First Sight’s Thomas Hartley: “You opened up your mouth and you were a breath of fresh air. You remind me of me.
“We are the sort of people, we just say things and people go ‘oh, should I have said that?’ There was so much of Gogglebox that they didn’t put in of us because we said so much.
Thomas said: “If you had stayed on Gogglebox, you would have been on Gogglebox now?”
Lisa added: “But they wouldn’t put in a lot because of a lot of what we said.”
Thomas said: “I wish they would have let you stay on Gogglebox and allowed you to do other things because there is a lot of talent – you were extremely talented,” with Lisa agreeing that she was not able to take on other TV opportunities while on the Channel 4 show.”
Lisa agreed and added that husband Terry suffered abuse for being portrayed almost as if he was “mute”.
She said: “He said so much but they never put it in. He got more abuse than anyone else. People were like ‘get him out’.”

Straight-talking Lisa also opened up about her cosmetic procedures with her son Joe likening her old boobs to a Simpsons character.
Lisa said: “I had my ti*ts done. I’ve made them go smaller. I used to sit at the dinner table and take my bra off – they were massive, like Katie Price, they were huge. After dinner I would flop them out. I’ve had a designer vagina and a tummy tuck.”
Joe added: “She used to sit at the dinner table and take off her bra and flop them out, they looked like Homer Simpson’s eyes.”
The Baggs family – dad Terry, mum Lisa and sons Joe and George – issued a joint statement announcing their exit last year.
They explained: “After 3 incredible seasons on Channel 4’s Gogglebox we have taken the decision to leave the show.
“We have loved every second of being part of the Gogglebox family and it’s truly been the opportunity of a lifetime.
“With lots of exciting opportunities approaching for us all, we just couldn’t commit to filming another series, but are so grateful for the opportunity.
“Thank you for all your support whilst we have been on the show. We hope that you’re as excited as we are for what’s coming next!
“Much love, The Baggs 💙.”
Under Gogglebox rules, its stars are not allowed to appear on other shows while shooting the series.
However, former names from the Channel 4 hit have gone on to big things after stepping down, most notably Scarlett Moffatt.
