A Gogglebox couple has been axed from the Channel 4 show after almost four years on our screens, with the pair revealing that they were “not asked back” by the broadcaster

Gogglebox couple Roisin Kelly and Joe Kyle have been axed from the Channel 4 show after three years on the sofa, the favourites have said in an emotional post. The couple made Gogglebox history as the first Scottish pair to appear on the show back in February 2022.

Roisin, 26, and Joe, 28, have now revealed that they were “not asked back” by Channel 4 for the next series and have been “dumped” by the show after almost four years. Taking to TikTok with the sad statement, Roisin wrote: “After three and a half years of sitting on the sofa channel 4 have decided it’s time for Joe and I to stretch our legs and have not asked us back for season 26.

“Therefore we are leaving the Gogglebox family. We couldn’t be more grateful to Studio Lambert for the opportunity, the experience has actually been so mad and we will miss watching tv with you all on Friday nights! It’s been an honour to represent Scotland as some of the first Scottish people on the show and prove we don’t actually need subtitles.”

Roisin went onto thank the show’s crew, sharing: “We have made friends for life and after filming every week for years you have become like our family! We could not have asked for better people to work with and we will miss you immensely.”

After thanking their fans, she added: “It for sure has been a once in a lifetime opportunity. Time to watch tv in silence for a bit and put down the popcorn. Miss you already, Roisin and Joe x x x.”

Alongside the statement, Roisin also shared a series of memes they had made – including one of a screengrab from Toy Story where Channel 4 is villain Sid and the couple are Woody being dropped to the floor. “I don’t want to play with you anymore,” Sid is seen saying.

Another picture showed a child crying with the caption: “Being dumped from gogglebox.” However, the next image was of Captain America’s Anthony Mackie celebrating with the words: “No longer having to adhere to a contract and can work with brands and companies.”

Fans quickly flooded the comments with messages of support, with one writing: “Loved you & Joe on Gogglebox. Won’t be the same without you.” Another said: “NOOOOOOOOOO I JUST FELL TO THE FLOOR IN ASDA.”

A third wrote: “That’s a real shame,” while a fourth added: “Awww no! I will miss you guys flying the flag for Scotland.”
