Axed Scots Gogglebox couple release heartfelt statement as fans left gutted over exit
Gogglebox stars Roisin Kelly and Joe Kelly have been brutally dumped from the show after three and half years. Gogglebox fan favourite couple Roisin Kelly and Joe Kyle have released a heartfelt statement after they were brutally dumped from the Channel 4 show. The beloved duo, who hail from Glasgow, shocked social media on Monday evening when they announced they had been axed from the programme after three and a half years despite being one of the most popular couples among Gogglebox fans. Roisin, who celebrated her 27th birthday earlier this week, took to her social media accounts on Instagram and TikTok to announce the sad news that she and Joe, 28, had not made the cut for season 26. The pair have released an emotional joint statement following their departure. It reads: "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." She continued: "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. "A huge thank you to everyone who has watched us, met us and supported us during this experience, it has for sure 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." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Channel 4 have now been advised by viewers that they have made a huge 'mistake' in axing the Scots couple who captured viewers hearts with their hilarious banter during their time on the show. Underneath Roisin's post on TikTok, one fan fumed: "That's a stupid decision by ch4/gogglebox! Sorry to hear this." A second chimed in: "Gutted! Their loss though." A third echoed: "Nooo you were a favourite in our house! Very stupid move from Channel 4." Roisin and Joe were the only Scottish cast members left on the show and fans have been quick to point out that Scotland is no longer being represented on the programme. One complained: "Aw man, this is s****. No Scottish voices on the show anymore! You were great." Another wrote: "Hate this! It was nice to have Scottish people and the West of Scotland sense of humour represented on TV, not worth watching anymore." A third added: "Oh no way! Typical because they are Scottish." Fans are hoping it won't be the last they'll see of Roisin and Joe on their screens and their Gogglebox axe means Roisin may now find the time to return to her podcast, Nags and Brags, which she co-hosts with pal and Clyde 1 breakfast show broadcaster, Cassi Gillespie. Nags and Brags covers a variety of subjects, from dating woes to fashion faux pas, with the show temporarily being put on hiatus while Roisin and Cassie juggled their other work commitments.

With this year's Tour de France having crossed the finish line, the creators of a new drama about the legendary road race are offering Fringe-goers a chance to experience it's thrills and spills. As Edinburgh prepares to host the 2027 Grand Départ, cycling enthusiasts and theatre fans, can get an early taste of what to expect from hosting the world's top cycling spectacle in a compelling multi-media play CADEL: Lungs on Legs.

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... New York's Connor Delves and Edinburgh's Steve McMahon who co-wrote the high-energy sports drama believe hosting the heady Grand Départ will be a game-changer for the city. Writing about Australian cycling legend and 2011 Tour de France winner Cadel Evans has convinced the duo that the Grand Départ in 2027 won't just be a cycling event—but also a celebration of Scottish innovation, and an opportunity to promote the city and boost sustainable transport. Scotland's connection to cycling makes the 2027 Grand Départ something of a homecoming as the modern pedal-driven bicycle was invented by Kirkpatrick Macmillan, a Scottish blacksmith from Dumfries in 1839. Present-day cyclists also owe a debt of gratitude to Scotsman John Boyd Dunlop for his 1887 invention of the pneumatic tyre, which vastly improved comfort and speed. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Steve, who was born and raised in Edinburgh, said: "I couldn't be more excited that our city will host the send-off of the world's most famous road race. Writing the play gave me a unique insight into the Tour de France—I understand the drama and theatricality of it all. Edinburgh's backdrop will create the perfect stage, and I hope everyone in the city will enjoy the spectacle." L-R Steve McMahon and Connor Delves, co-writers of CADEL: Lungs on Legs Connor, who performs the multi-character solo show and has just returned from seeing the Tour de France in Paris says: "Hosting the Grand Départ is not just a sporting honour, the Grand Départ in Yorkshire in 2014 attracted over 3.5 million spectators and brought an estimated £130 million to the local economy, while the Tour's broadcast reaches 3.5 billion viewers across 190 countries." Past host cities have seen investment in roads, bike lanes, and active travel networks, which help improve cycling infrastructure with lasting benefits for residents. Edinburgh already has an engaged cycling community, and bringing the Tour to the city would help promote cycling culture to a wider audience, inspire increased interest, and get groups and local clubs involved to nurture a new generation of Scottish cyclists. Connor and Steve learned that Edinburgh had won the hosting bid after signing up to bring their show to the Fringe and were delighted at the chance to give local and global audiences a preview of the amazing atmosphere and excitement surrounding the Tour. Edinburgh will form the perfect backdrop for the event, which is traditionally hosted in scenic, culturally rich cities. Edinburgh's renowned expertise in handling large-scale public events like the Festivals and Hogmanay will ensure the departure unfolds seamlessly. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The playwrights based their play on the life of Cadel Evans, an Australian outsider who triumphed at the 2011 Tour de France – an event so significant in his home country the nation nearly declared a national holiday. It's a physically demanding role as Connor pedals for an hour to recreate Evans' story on the same bike that rode to victory in the Tour. Connor Delves triumps as CADEL: Lungs on Legs The pair hope the show will appeal to cyclists, Tour de France fans, and those who want to see compelling theatre, tightly written and powerfully performed. Everyone is invited along for the ride.
