Gogglebox drops only Scottish couple in cast after 3 years
Roisin Kelly and Joe Kyle posted online on Tuesday that production company Studio Lambert and Channel 4 had not asked them back to film for season 26. In the announcement, they said they "couldn't be more grateful", adding that it had been "an honour" to represent Scotland and "prove we don't actually need subtitles". READ MORE: Study finds a third of boys believe revealing outfits are 'asking for trouble' While the show has not announced any new cast members, it is understood David and Shirley from Wales are now the only cast members outside of England. Gogglebox were scouting for new cast members in Scotland earlier this year. The couple based in Glasgow were the first Scottish cast members to join the show in six years when they made their debut in February 2022. Their casting came after a Scottish Affairs Committee session in 2021 criticised Channel 4 for the lack of diversity on the show from across the nations of the UK. The pair posted on Instagram: "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". They added: "A huge thank you to everyone who has watched us, met us, and supported us during this experience, 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." A Channel 4 spokesperson: 'We thank Joe and Roisin for their contributions to Gogglebox over the years, and wish them all the best for the future.'
