Yet Roisin Kelly, 26, and Joe Kyle, 28, who

Roisin posted a lengthy statement to her social media page, describing their Gogglebox stint as "so mad" while admitting they were "grateful."
She 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!"
She added: "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 and boyfriend Joe, who were the first Scots to appear on the much-loved hit for over six years, added: "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.

Ex-drug mule Michaella McCollum signed up to Celebrity SAS to ‘push myself'

McCollum, from Dungannon, Co Tyrone, was caught trying to smuggle 11kg of cocaine worth close to €2m out of Peru with accomplice Melissa Reid in 2013. The pair were jailed for six years and eight months after admitting the crime but were freed in 2016 after striking a deal with Peruvian authorities. I did that show for me. I wanted to improve myself and push myself. It wasn't, 'I'm doing this because I want people to like me' Michaella McCollum McCollum told ITV's This Morning: 'Reality type TV series, I've never really been interested in doing anything like that, but I think SAS, there's no other show like that. 'So I thought it would be a really good way to test myself and try and push myself and do something completely different. 'So it was the one show I was like, you know what? I feel like I've been pushed to my limit through other experiences. Why not try this? Never in my life am I gonna face these type of challenges.' The Channel 4 reality spin-off series follows 14 famous faces as they endure special forces training in an attempt to make it through SAS selection. McCollum said: 'I did that show for me. I wanted to improve myself and push myself. It wasn't, 'I'm doing this because I want people to like me.'' Asked if she was worried about being subject to scrutiny, she said: 'Not really, because I know that's always going to exist. 'And any kind of decisions and things I make, there's always that kind of scrutiny. So I thought, whether I do the show, there'll always be some kind of talk about that.' Speaking about what it was like to stay in prison, she said: 'It's obviously extreme, but I feel like I was incredibly adaptable, like I just kind of got along with it. 'And I think for the first part, I felt so guilty and bad. I kind of just thought: 'OK, I deserve it. I'll just suck it up. I'll just get along with it.' 'But I feel like it made me an amazing person. I came back when I was 23.' Among the other famous faces taking part in the programme are professional boxer Conor Benn, S Club star Hannah Spearritt and the first celebrity deaf recruit, Love Island star Tasha Ghouri. Airing across eight one-hour episodes, the seventh series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins will be available to watch on Channel 4 every Sunday and Monday from 9pm starting on August 3.
