Yet Roisin Kelly, 26, and Joe Kyle, 28, who moved in together at the beginning of lockdown during the coronavirus pandemic, have revealed they'll no longer be on screen.
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.
"It for sure has been a once in a lifetime opportunity."
The pair, who vanished in the first episode of the 2023 season, wrapped with the words: "Time to watch TV in silence for a bit and put down the popcorn."

Roisin has built up an army of loyal social media followers for her fashion hacks away from Gogglebox fame.
The office worker previously told how she wears slippers as outerwear as well as dazzling in a see-through outfit.
She then told how she was flogging her garments on Vinted following a number of ASOS hauls.
Away from Gogglebox, Roisin has also hosted a podcast titled Nags and Brags.

Celebrity SAS star Harry Clark's life off-screen from famous girlfriend to army career

Harry Clark is set to take on Channel 4's Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, but how much do you know about the reality star off-screen? He shot to stardom overnight after his spectacular victory on The Traitors in 2024, and now Harry Clark is preparing to tackle his next television challenge on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins. ‌ The 23 year old features amongst the celebrity contestants appearing on the Channel 4 programme, which launches on Sunday, 3 August. ‌ He's joined by the likes of Chloe Burrows, Tasha Ghouri, Louie Spence, and Rebecca Loos for this year's series. ‌ With military experience under his belt before his reality TV breakthrough, it appears Harry, who recently unveiled his body transformation, stands a strong chance of excelling on the notoriously punishing programme. "Growing up, I'd watch people close to me be in the SAS, which always inspired me. This show was a different experience from what I had imagined, but I always love a challenge, and it proves you're always learning new things about yourself," he revealed. Here, we delve into Harry's previous military service and his celebrity girlfriend. ‌ Who is Harry Clark? Harry is a reality television star who rose to prominence on the second series of the BBC's The Traitors, reports Wales Online. The 23 year old claimed victory in the series following a dramatic finale, where his fellow contestant Mollie Pearson discovered he'd been misleading her throughout the entire programme and was, indeed, a Traitor. ‌ Harry departed with an astonishing £95,000 and has subsequently built a career in the public eye, securing fresh TV projects and expanding his social media presence. Army career Before his appearance on The Traitors, Harry served as a lance corporal with 47 Regiment Royal Artillery (47 Regt RA). He launched his military career at just 15, driven by admiration for his grandfather who had also served in the forces. ‌ "My Grandad on my Mother's side was in the Parachute Regiment; he was my idol, and I wanted to make him proud. He taught us about the importance of 'family', how to respect others, and he taught me how to be a gentleman," he said, as reported on the British Army website. Harry enrolled at the Army Foundation College in Harrogate, Yorkshire at 16, where he trained as an aviation technician with the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. When he applied for The Traitors, Harry had landed a fresh role with a railway firm and was preparing for a career change. ‌ Discussing the BBC programme, he previously told Revamp Magazine: "I never thought anything would come of it. I had a job lined up after the army, working on the trains, five days on and five days off." Who is Harry's girlfriend? Harry has been dating CBBC host Anna Maynard since 2022, after the pair first met at a Brighton nightclub. Anna, 24, has fronted CBBC programme Got What It Takes? since 2018 and commands a massive online following, including more than 333,000 YouTube subscribers. Her digital content spans everything from workout updates to beauty advice. ‌ She's the younger sibling of chart-topper Conor Maynard and YouTube sensation Jack Maynard, who also featured on I'm A Me Out Of Here. Harry and Anna frequently post about each other on social media, with their relationship seemingly growing stronger by the day.

Elizabeth Hurley poses in a COFFIN after transforming into the mysterious benefactor The Deceased as Channel 4 share first look at cunning new gameshow The Inheritance

Elizabeth Hurley proved that she can still look incredible - even while lying in a coffin - in the trailer for the new Channel 4 gameshow The Inheritance. The model, 60, plays 'The Deceased' in the entertaining trailer, which sees a stately home being plundered of expensive goods. Elizabeth, dressed in a plunging gold sequin dress, says: 'If haven't noticed, darlings, I'm dead, which means my entire estate is up for grabs.' Playing the part of a glamorous benefactor in the show, Elizabeth puts 13 contestants through their paces as they make their bid for her inheritance. However, if they want to get a large share of it, they will need to be cunning to win at her mischievous game. The game is overseen by Robert Rinder, 47, who is The Deceased's Executor and trusted legal counsel. The Deceased understands that people will go to great lengths to win her inheritance, but in her mind, only the most cunning among the contestants deserve to have it. That is why Hurley's character devised 'a series of devilishly difficult assignments' to ensure this happens. These are reported to put the players' diligence, decency and ruthlessness to the test. The game also has a twist - only one player can collect the inheritance from each request. This means that they will have to convince their fellow competitors that they deserve the windfall. Channel 4 said: 'The Inheritance is a camp, cut-throat game of wit, willpower, persuasion and betrayal. 'It's not about who deserves the money, but who can outplay, out-charm and out-scheme the rest to claim it. ' The show has already been likened to the smash hit, The Traitors, which has a similar premise. The BBC show sees players move into Ardoss Castle in the Scottish Highlands where an informed minority (known as the Traitors) must eliminate an uninformed majority (known as the Faithfuls). Elizabeth said: 'It's a thrill to be part of this clever game, playing The Deceased; it all takes place on her huge estate in the English countryside and she dresses to the nines in every scene.' Rob added: 'This is a high-stakes strategy game served with a side of scheming and sabotage. 'As The Executor I enforce the rules, keep the chaos in check - more or less - and make sure our players are deserving of every glittering penny left by our dearly departed deceased.'

Seven of the best spots to visit on the Clyde Coast

Whether you're seeking outdoor adventure, cultural immersion or simply the restorative power of sea air and stunning vistas, the Clyde Coast always delivers. Tighnabruaich Hotel, Tighnabruaich With an elevated position above the village shoreline, the fuss-free beer garden at the Tighnabruaich Hotel benefits from uninterrupted views over the Kyles of Bute. Yet despite its enviable position it never gets too busy, even on a sunny day, making it a glorious spot to enjoy the best of the Clyde Coast scenery. Sugar Boat, Helensburgh This little gem of a restaurant and bar is surely one of the best in Helensburgh. It's named after the famous shipwreck that can be seen from the town, and it has become a real community favourite since first opening in Colquhoun Square. Visit on a weekend morning for their high-end brunch, or late in the evening for a cocktail – you can bring your dog, too. (Image: Gourock Outdoor Pool) Gourock Outdoor Pool Now immortalised in the pop world after an image of it adorned the cover of Blur's recent album, The Ballad of Darren, Gourock's refurbished outdoor attraction is Scotland's oldest salt water, open air swimming pool. Heated to a relatively balmy 29 degrees, it is open seven days a week and over the summer and offers spectacular views of the Clyde estuary during the day and the heavens at night with its magical Starlight Swims. Hill House Perched high overlooking the Firth of Clyde, Hill House in [[Helensburgh]] is regarded as Charles Rennie Mackintosh's domestic design triumph. Completed in 1904 for Glasgow publisher William Blackie, the exterior and interior were created by Mackintosh in collaboration with his wife Margaret Macdonald. [[Hill House]] is currently encased in a protective mesh box to protect it from the weather, but the exquisite interior is open to visitors, while gangways and steps inside the box provide unique angles from which to view the outside of the building. Cathedral of the Isles Cumbrae, just four miles long, epitomises the perfect Scottish island getaway accessible within an hour from Glasgow. The Cathedral of the Isles, Britain's smallest cathedral, sits in the charming town of Millport, where Victorian villas line the seafront and traditional seaside amusements endure. Founded in 1849 and consecrated in 1851, the Cathedral and adjacent College of the Holy Spirit, were designed by William Butterfield, one of the greatest nineteenth century British architects. The buildings remain with little alteration. Culzean Castle and Country Park Perched dramatically on Ayrshire clifftops, this Robert Adam masterpiece represents 18th-century architecture at its finest. The castle's oval staircase and circular saloon demonstrate Adam's innovative design genius, while the Eisenhower apartment commemorates the American president's connection to Scotland. The surrounding 600-acre country park features woodland walks, a restored walled garden, and the famous Culzean Beach with its distinctive volcanic rock formations. Red deer roam the parkland, while the clifftop paths offer spectacular views across to Ailsa Craig and Arran. (Image: Getty Images) Wemyss Bay Station Enter a world when rail was king and stations were designed and built to reflect its exalted status. Opened in 1865 and then rebuilt in 1903 to a design by James Miller for the Caledonian Railway, Wemyss Bay Station is widely regarded as one of the UK's finest. An architectural masterpiece which utilises glass and steel curves to assist the flow of passengers it is a much loved remnant of the age of the Clyde steamers. It still links with the Rothesay ferry and there are regular trains from Glasgow Central.
