The moment Gogglebox Australia stars accuse a driver on RBT of being ‘off his head’ on drugs only to be left stunned when he tests NEGATIVE – proving you can never judge a book by its cover
A powerful moment on last week’s episode of Gogglebox Australia proved the old saying that you can never judge a book its cover.
The stars’ harsh comments about an unidentified driver on Channel Nine’s RBT came back to haunt them when the truth was revealed at the end of the segment.
They accused the man of being drunk or ‘off his head’ on drugs, only for him to return negative results for both after being pulled over by police.

Gogglebox viewers were not impressed by the judgmental attitudes of the cast, after they jumped to conclusions based on the man’s physical appearance.
‘Just because they look like they’re higher than a kite doesn’t mean they are!’ one fan wrote on Facebook in response to the episode.
‘We’re the worst at judging people by their appearances,’ another wrote, as dozens more agreed they had also unfairly judged the driver.
‘That was a huge lesson for me. I am ashamed. I thought he had been drinking. I feel really ashamed. I will not judge a book by its cover,’ one viewer wrote.
Several fans pointed out that medical conditions can make people appear drunk or high, adding that the RBT segment was a poignant reminder that ‘we really need to be just a little more careful’.

During the episode, all of the Goggleboxers joked that the driver was ‘obviously’ drunk or high.
‘He is so off his head,’ said Isabelle Silbery, while Vestal Delpechitra agreed: ‘He’ll be under for alcohol, but positive for drugs!’
‘He’s definitely not passing the drug test. If this guy isn’t on drugs I’ll do 20 push-ups,’ Matty Fahd added.
‘No!’ When the tests for drugs and alcohol came back negative and the man was allowed to drive away, the cast were last gobsmacked. Pictured: Isabelle Silbery
But when the tests for drugs and alcohol came back negative and the man was allowed to drive away, the cast were last gobsmacked.
They apologised for being so judgmental and, true to his word, Matty jumped on the floor to begin his 20 push-ups.
