She also appeared to aim a subtle dig at Channel 4, stating that the couple 'had not been asked back' for Series 26.
The show is expected to return to screens in September, following the conclusion of its most recent run in May.
Roisin confirmed their departure in an Instagram post shared last night, thanking both fans and production crew for their support over the years.

She wrote: "After three and a half years of sitting on the sofa, Channel 4 has decided it's time for Joe and me to stretch our legs and has 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.
"A special shout out to our crew of past and present, Jason, Ayşe, Rich, Eilish, Ewan, Evie, Steve, David, Stef, AJ and Odin.
"Also to Harriet for always answering the phone, any time of the day or night.
"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."
The heartfelt caption was shared alongside a carousel of snaps from their time on Gogglebox, including some humorous images which appeared to take aim at Channel 4's decision.
One image included a Toy Story meme showing Woody being discarded, captioned: 'I don't want to play with you anymore.'
Another showed a young boy crying with the text: 'Being dumped from Gogglebox.'
A third depicted someone dancing with the words: 'No longer having to adhere to a contract and can work with brands and companies.'

One fan wrote: 'Gutted! It was so nice to have young, funny Scottish representation on the show! Heartbreak hotel.'
Another added: 'Won't be the same without you guys in our living rooms on a Friday evening. Thanks for a very enjoyable three and a half years. I wish you both all the best for the future.'
A third said: 'Aww no! I'm gutted, you guys always crack me up on that show. Onwards and upwards, love.'
A fourth chimed in: 'Gutted! You and Joe are so funny, and it's been so good having fellow Scots on the show! Won't be the same without you.'
And a fifth fan commented: 'Aw wit! I'm absolutely ragin. My wee favs. It won't be the same without you guys. All the best for whatever your future holds.'
A Channel 4 spokesperson said: 'We thank Joe and Roisin for their contributions to Gogglebox over the years, and wish them all the best for the future.'

Taunton Flower Show attracts thousands of visitors
Thousands of people are expected to head to the country's longest-running flower show Flower Show, known as Chelsea of the West, was first held in 1831. The 147th edition of the event returned to Vivary Park on elaborate flower displays there will be also horse and dog shows, as well as BMX Greenslade, former Hestercombe gardener, said: "It's the Chelsea of the South West, I like to think. It's a great place to shop for plants you don't normally see." Ms Greenslade added: "Sometimes, there are people I live near in Taunton but would only bump in to here."The most wonderful thing about gardening is every day is a school day. There's so many things like climate change that change how we garden," she added. Show manager Beccy Fox said the reason the show has lasted for so long is all down to the volunteers."We have over 400 volunteers on site making this happen and that's from people who do it all year round to people who come along on the day," Ms Fox said."It's a testament to volunteering and community power."There's so much to do and so much horticultural knowledge. If you're looking for advice on your plants, our traders will have your back." One of the gardens on show is the St Margaret's show garden, which was built to mark 45 years of the Somerset-based hospice."Feeling secure, feeling comfortable, feeling like the garden is enclosed, feeling nestled were the words we used," Caroline Slocombe, gardener at the hospice, said."I'd like to get a gold medal, I'd like to win people's choice - we'll see."The show will close at 17:00 on Saturday.

‘I couldn't risk coming clean and telling her': IRA bomber shares how he told partner the truth of his guilty in new book
Psychologists say the BBC reality show Traitors is compelling to audiences worldwide because it taps into universal themes of trust, deception and the human psyche. But during the Troubles, these themes were a reality for many couples, family members and friends turned against each other in a backdrop that had none of the opulence of a luxurious Scottish castle, nor the promise of a sizeable cash prize if the deception paid off.

Bonnie Blue documentary is sad, uncomfortable and prurient viewing
New film, which followed the contentious OnlyFans star for six months, fails to get to the bottom of what motivates her extreme sex stunts. But it does introduce us to her family, who are all on her payroll 'Everyone has sex; just some of us film it,' is the phrase Bonnie Blue chooses to introduce her Channel 4 documentary. It's a suitably glib start to the hour-long film, 1,000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story, which charts the controversial OnlyFans star's rise to global infamy. Aged 26, Blue, whose real name is Tia Billinger, is best known for staging extreme sex stunts; in January, she claimed to have slept with 1,057 men in 12 hours, filming it all for her OnlyFans account, which has since been disabled after the platform banned her. It's hard to know where to begin with Blue, who earns upwards of £1.5m per month from her videos, which she now shares on Fansly, another subscription-based social platform. Perhaps with the sheer impossibility of her so-called 1,000-men challenge, which would amount to 41 seconds per man, without accounting for the time it takes to change between them. Then there's the footage itself, much of which features in the film, showing a fully-naked Blue surrounded by penises penetrating her mouth and vagina. Or there's her litany of rage-bait TikTok videos, in which she urges 'barely legal or barely breathing' men to have sex with her, often at the expense of their wives and girlfriends, who Blue happily lambasts as sexually inferior.
